Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #70 *ARREST*

Well yeah, for the prelim. But eventually they need to convince a jury.


Yep, I'm aware but I've had my doubts since the beginning. The doubts are going away but more slowly than they should be. There was more evidence on Casey Anthony and she walked with a less credentialed attorney than BM has. Also that wasn't a no-body case. We'll see what else gets presented and what's in the AA. I hope I'm wrong.

Casey Anthony was a fluke due to the punitive sequestering of the jury. They didn’t even find her guilty of any of the multiple lesser includeds like child neglect because any of those would have resulted in more sequestration.

In any event, no body cases are famously strong cases as the prosecution isn’t going to bring it if they don’t have the evidence, knowing that a jury will need a lot of evidence to convict without a body.

There was some mention yesterday of a medication BM wanted SM to stop taking, maybe a text between her and SO. I will look for it. I bet hydro is hydrocodone (Vicodin).
JMO

That makes a lot of sense.

 

[Boxer]

We will have to disagree on DNA and fingerprints being circumstantial. In most cases, they are definitive proof.

So is electronoc evidence.

On May 9, Text messages: 9:50 BM: Wanna go on a hike? 9:52 SM: where? (no response) Later on, asking about summer tires on range rover? 10:36 SM: Wanna meet to hike? 12 minutes later 10:48 BM:No, coming home SM: Get Hottub stuff

 

[bkgregg5]

Wait, what? Your sister texts you and say's her husband is abusive and you don't know how to respond? How about you tell her to protect herself, get the h#ll out of there and press charges?

No kidding.

And wasn't he also against her taking antidepressants and trying medical marijuana for her pain?

 

[sunflowerchick]

Most cases are circumstantial.

Was just going to say this. Yes, most cases are circumstantial to be fair. But this is a lot of nothing and speculation so far.

forensic data on BM's truck isn't circumstantial nor is a dart cap.

Yes, legally they are. A case is really only not circumstantial when there is a direct witness to a crime.

 

[LaborDayRN]

What? What do you make of this? Where are the girls, really?

First it was Idaho, now it's Utah. But Barry is at a nearby Salida pizza place, waiting for pizza for the girls??

I think it's supposed to mean that Suzanne sent a picture of Barry waiting to pick up a pizza,,,,to the girls

 

[Allabouttrial]

Doesn't sound like her sister Melinda to me. And her sister has never spoken about any texts before Friday morning. IIRRC

She may have but obviously couldn't reveal them as they were part of the investigation. I think she may have wanted to pray first before giving a response.

That’s not what circumstantial means. DNA and fingerprints are circumstantial. There is no category called “definitive proof”. The other category is called direct proof. It needs no interpretation to explain it. Circumstantial evidence does. You have to interpret the DNA evidence. And the fingerprints. You need experts to explain what is there.

 

[sunflowerchick]

MOO To be fair his actions are beyond a reasonable doubt.

Not to me. With what we have so far, if I were a juror, I'm not sure I would convict at this point. That may change as more is presented.

Years ago here on this very forum, posters were convinced that Casey Anthony would be convicted. That case had a body. Ineptitude by the prosecutor was the issue in that case. IMO, this case so far is very similar. I haven't heard anything that's made me think differently yet. I am hoping to however.

It is circumstantial but most cases are. But it is strong evidence.

"I have shot 85 chipmunks." This man lived to kill, in my opinion. He had to kill something everyday. CM from the YouTube channel the interview room talked about BMs hunting obsession, so I couldn't help but think of it when I read about the chipmunks.

Investigators' last interviews with #BarryMorphew were April 5 and April 22.

 

[SouthAussie]

So I guess none of that trash was searched in time?

I am wondering if the investigators have searched landfill for the bags, if they were all dumped in the general Broomfield area they may have all gone to one landfill site.

This is not sounding good. (Just read many, many tweets, as it it is very early morning here.)
Tranquiliser cap.
What sounds like a lot of time spent in the house with his phone on airplane mode.
What sounds like a lot of time loading up his truck.
Stops at at least 5 different dumpsters.
A possible attempt to clear his truck's data - power off, system reboot.

Was Suzanne tranquilised, murdered, and dumped in various garbage bags around Broomfield?

 

[10ofRods]

So, did he plan to hike with her to the place he had pre-prepared to dump her? But she wasn't having it, so he tranquilized her and drove her there?

I'm confused about when exactly he wiped the truck's motherboard.

How was it ineptitud by the prosecution?

On May 6, Suzanne sent text to Barry: “I’m done. I could care less what you’re up to and have been for years. We just need to figure this out civilly.” FBI investigator says Barry responded with texts that detailed suicidal thoughts This was 4 days before Suzanne went missing

It was also the day BEFORE he notified the company in Indiana that he would be working on the Broomfield wall starting the next Monday (the day after he actually went up there).
