Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
At 12:42 p.m. until 5:55 p.m. #BarryMorphew does not leave his hotel room in Broomfield. This doesn't match the statements he gave investigators early in May. He claimed he had been working at the wall

Ashley Franco
@AshleyKKTV
#BarryMorphew goes back to his room and got a call from neighbor about #SuzanneMorphew missing. Grusing says that his conflicts with statements Barry told agents because they have him on video in the hotel. He allegedly told agents he was working at this point

Marc Sallinger
@MarcSallinger
Still going through minute by minute-FBI agent says at 5:15 neighbor called Barry to ask about Suzanne. Surveillance shows he was in his hotel room in Broomfield at this time.
Barry had told CBI agents that he received call while working at the worksite. Contradictory info

Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
At 5:55 p.m. #BarryMorphew has changed shirts again as he leaves the hotel room. Agent Grusing said Barry wouldn't say what he did in the hotel room. He mentioned watching FOX News and a basketball show

Ashley Franco
@AshleyKKTV
Grusing says after several interviews with #BarryMorphew his statements continued to change about where he was when he got the call about #SuzanneMorphew. Grusing says Barry would not tell them what he was doing inside the hotel room from noon to 5:55 when they have him on cam

Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
This story changed according to Agent Grusing. Early in May he said he worked at the jobsite and in April amended his statement to watching FOX News

Marc Sallinger
@MarcSallinger
FBI agent says “Barry’s statements changed significantly” over time as FBI introduced more information to him.FBI has shown surveillance pictures of Barry making stops at 5 trash cans/sumpsters in Broomfield on day Suzanne went missing. Still don't know significance of that yet

Carol McKinley
@CarolAMcKinley
Barry Morphew made **five trash runs**, one with a tree container and a camo coat, by the time he got to Broomfield, Colorado to re-do a wall. This is Sunday May 10. A day his client says he should have known that Broomfield doesn't allow people to do construction.

Crime Talk with Scott Reisch
@CrimeTalkPod
·12:42 - 5:55 pm Barry is in his room
3:30 texts Suzanne to call him
5:15 Barry received a call from Ritter (spelling? Neighbor). This conflicts with CBI statements because he originally says on May 13, 2020, he was at the worksite wall when he got the call

Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
After 6 p.m. #BarryMorphew takes multiple trips in and out of the hotel entrance bringing in tools. Asks the front desk person if it would be ok to leave them for his workers who were coming later. These were hand tools

Crime Talk with Scott Reisch
@CrimeTalkPod
When he leaves room at 5:55pm, his shirt is changed again.
He changes his statement by April 2021 and says he was in the room, but won’t say what he was doing.

Crime Talk with Scott Reisch
@CrimeTalkPod
6:00 pm he has a shovel and rake in hands entering the hotel. He places all the tools in the hotel lobby for his workers. All hand tools - nothing electric

Ashley Franco

Defense is arguing that #BarryMorphew phone could be staying still in one spot- when the former agent says his phone was pinging on several places on the outside of the house. Defense says it could've been in one place- Grusing says "That's why we asked him what he was doing."

She is talking about Push pins on a map. (locations where #BarryMorphew phone pinged) Attorney Neilsen is speaking about how much time it takes for someone to walk from one distance to another.

Defense is making the argument that the cell phone data showing Barry moving around home as soon as he arrived home the day Suzanne went missing is inaccurate. Barry says he was shooting chipmunks, though only told investigators that nine months into case

@CarolAMcKinley
Morphew atty Dru NIelsen questioning Agent Grusing says Barry Morphew spoke with investigators 23X from May 10 til the end of 2020. None of those times did he mention that he shot chipmunks. This in reference to why his cellphone showed he was running around the house on the 10th

Defense exhibit J,K,I,L,M: Google maps around the Morphew home off Puma Path in Maysville with push pins on them. Neilsen again is speaking about the distance between these points referring to #BarryMorphew phone. Neilsen says this shows he had to have been moving through walls.

Defense is still going over #BarryMorphew cell phone position on the Morphew property the day before #SuzanneMorphew went missing. Right now they're going through coordinates and defense is detailing where exactly the phone was and how long it took to get to different points.

Crime Talk with Scott Reisch
@CrimeTalkPod
Defense is calculating the distance between the pushpins that Grusing had mentioned would be Barry’s coordinates (via his phone) at 2:44pm on May 9, 2020.
The distance between 1 and 2 is over 50 ft. Grusing testified the time between these 2 points was one second

Russell Haythorn
@RussellHaythorn
Defense poking holes in prosecutions theory that cell phone data suggests #BarryMorphew was moving all around the house the day before Suzanne disappeared. Defense says Barry would have had to move through walls & at speeds up to 42 mph in order for cell records to be accurate.

Agent Grusing said he isn't too familiar with this program that the defense is sharing. He said this isn't what they use, they use another program and knows what this program is but not really how to read the data.

This is mind-numbing testimony & people in the crtroom are struggling to stay awake.

Judge allows this exhibit... If you were wondering Agent Johnny Grusing is only the third witness the prosecution has called to the stand. They were planning to call 8 for the first two days of #Barrymorphew preliminary hearing

Carol McKinley
@CarolAMcKinley
In the Arrest Warrant Affidavit, Nielsen points out, there's a sentence which says "There’s an opinion that Barry is most likely chasing Suzanne around." She asks Gruning "Did the neighbors heard unusual noises at 2:44 pm on the 10th?" "No."

Russell Haythorn
@RussellHaythorn
Grusing testifies he wrote in arrest affidavit that #BarryMorphew was 'most likely chasing Suzanne around while she was conscious' and that's why Barry's phone pinged in different areas in/around house, but defense says his movement impossible given time/distance of cell records

Lauren Scharf

Defense is now trying to poke holes in data presented by FBI agent from both phone tracker and tracker on car. Arguing data is inaccurate and there’s no way he could move so quickly from place to place. It's very nuanced testimony focused on what data is tracked and what isn't

Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
On page 6, #BarryMorphew truck stays in the same coordinates at 4:44 p.m. until 9:25 p.m. Parking light events on Page 7, doesn't change the coordinate of the truck. 6 odometer events on May 9. 3 odometer events 10:04 am & 10:06 am. are around the same of two parking light events

Back in courtroom, Nielsen is attacking the technology Grusing used to figure out exactly where #BarryMorphew and his truck were on May 9 and 10. Much discussion about odometer, parking light and door opening/closing events on his Ford F350 & whether they match up

According to an employee at Salida Stove and Spa, Neilsen said from an interview with investigator Derek Graham #BarryMorphew visited on May 9 between 4 and 5:30 p.m. That there was nothing unusual about his demeanor.

Russell Haythorn
@RussellHaythorn
Defense says employees at Salida Stove and Spa saw Barry come in to the store between 4-5:30pm on Saturday, May 9 and there was nothing odd about Barry's demeanor. Agent Grusing says he did not include this information in his timeline of events from May 9.

Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
#BarryMorphew had a convo with Janelle and Colton Nebal at the store, according to Neilsen. She is questioning Agent Grusing on his timeline. On May 8, Morphew sent a message to Colton around 1:18 p.m. about getting his hot tub fixed. Asking when he could come out to the home

Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
There were 19 miles that were unaccounted for when #BarryMorphew went to Broomfield. Neilsen said this Salida Stove and Spa trip could account for 18 miles

Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
Agent Grusings theory is that #BarryMorphew did something to #SuzanneMorphew when he got home on May 9. Chasing Suzanne around the home while she is concious. The push pin map that they presented said it isn't possible for him to move at 45 miles per hour, according to Neilsen

Crime Talk with Scott Reisch
@CrimeTalkPod
Grusing theory that #BarryMorphew did something to Suzanne when he got home at 2:44pm. Ran around the house and was ‘most likely chasing Suzanne while she is conscious’. Nielsen: how would this be possible? He is traveling at 30 mph?

Lauren Scharf
@LaurenScharfTV
"At 2:45 p.m. #BarryMorphew did something terrible to his wife and then went to get his hot tub fixed?" Neilsen asked. Agent Grusing responded, "I don't think their timing is accurate." (referring to Salida Stove and Spa)

Carol McKinley
@CarolAMcKinley
Nielsen hammers at investigation's theory : Nielsen-your theory is that BM did something to Suzanne at 244 when he arrived home. He was most likely chasing her while she was conscious.
JG yes
DN-The push pin evidence refutes the theory….do you think he traveled 50 mph between the walls of the house? Do you still believe he was most likely chasing Suzanne while she was conscious?
Yes

Jamie Leary
@JamieALeary

Lauren Scharf

“I’m done”: Texts between Suzanne and Barry Morphew reveal troubled marriage | FOX21 News Colorado

Aug 10, 2021

Suzanne’s selfie was shown to the courtroom. The Morphew’s two daughters, Mallory and Macy, cried as they looked on.

Grusing also said, during a search of the Morphew family home, he found the cap of a tranquilizer dart in the dryer.

Morphew has said he left Chaffee County for a job in Broomfield during Mother’s Day weekend of 2020. In court on Tuesday, the State said Morphew made several “trash runs” while he was away.

[..]

Morphew apparently made another trash run after he arrived at his hotel in Broomfield. Morphew has confirmed doing so but has said he doesn’t remember what he threw away.

Surveillance video at a Broomfield McDonald’s showed Morphy making a third trash drop just before 9:15 a.m. The video shows him pushing trash down into the can with both hands.

Later, Morphew spent 40 minutes at a dump behind the Men’s Warehouse, also in Broomfield. The FBI said they also captured a video of Morphew making a fifth visit to a dumpster. They said he mentioned he had thrown away tranquilizer material

Although we haven't seen any evidence confirming #BarryMorphew was having an affair, he did search the internet for “searching for a cute girl near Salida”. #SuzanneMorphew also bought a spy pen to secretly record Barry because she thought he was having an affair.


They've now called Former FBI Agent Jonathan Grusing to the stand who specializes in no-body homicide cases. He interviewed #BarryMorphew. He's detailing the day before Suzanne disappeared, saying she had veggie soup with Barry for lunch.

Then, Barry left to run an errand, he came home around 2:44 p.m. While he was gone, Suzanne was sunbathing. She sent photos of herself to the man she was having an affair with around 2:11 p.m.

When he came home, his phone shows that he moved around his house in a pattern. He said he was shooting chipmunks. They found a tranquilizer dart in the dryer trap of the Morphew home. At 2:47 p.m., his phone goes into airplane mode. It doesn't come back online until 10:17 p.m.


Investigators used technology in Barry's truck to find out when the doors opened and closed. At 5:33 p.m. on 5/9/20 (the day before Suzanne's reported missed), his truck shows a message that says, "power removed, system reboot”.

Then, at 9:24, the driver door closes and backs 96 feet out of their driveway. Passenger doors are opening and closing until 9:56 p.m. The next activity is at 3:25 a.m. the next morning -- driver doors opening and closing until 3:52 a.m. at the edge of the driveway.

From there, phone movements show a straight line to where County Road 225 intersects with Highway 50, which close to where Suzanne's bike is recovered. Experts told Grusing they can’t say this is where Barry’s phone is moving. It’s “strafing.”

As a reminder, #BarryMorphew told investigators that he left the house at 5:00 a.m. the day she disappeared. He said she was sound asleep when he left.

#SuzanneMorphew's phone last registered a signal far from the Morphew home at 4:10-4:22 a.m. on the day she was reported missing. It didn't register any other signals after that.

At 8:11 a.m., #BarryMorphew went to a large trash receptacle at a work site to throw things away, he was there for a minute and half. This was his first trash run of the day. He texted Suzanne again at 8:41 a.m. telling her he made it to Broomfield and asked her to call him.

At this point, he enters a hotel room wearing a long sleeve shirt. He comes out of his room an hour later wearing a short sleeve shirt. The prosecution said the fact that he changed in noteworthy. He's also carrying a bag when leaves the room.

https://twitter.com/sydneestelle/status/1425159872778276865?s=21

Photos show that #BarryMorphew also took bags from his truck and put them by a curb. He leaves them there and then walks back to his truck. Then, he picks up a tree planter/container and a camo jacket and puts them in a dumpster.

At 5:15 p.m., his neighbor, Jeanne Ritter, calls Barry. It appears he was at his hotel at this time, but on 5/13/2020, he told investigators that he was at his work site when she called.
Thanks @Cindizzi

CO - CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #68 *ARREST*
8/10/21 Update: Day 2 of 4: State witnesses: FBI agent Ken Harris out of Denver office. He has been trained in the Behavioral Analysis Unit which led him to being involved in this case. Cross exam by Attorney Eytan. Asked about Morphew's safe in the garage. That it was searched. Eytan is claiming that Suzanne took $70K. The State objected. The judge allowed her to continue. Senior Deputy District Attorney Jeff Lindsey says Morphew previously accused law enforcement of stealing the money. Agent Harris said that Suzanne would use FindmyIphone app & track Barry. He would sometimes put it his phone on Airplane mode to avoid this.
Judge cautioned the defense that they are burning through a lot of their time & that they need to be cautious of that.
About 20 messages between JL & Suzanne were exchanged on 4/21/20. Agent Harris asked for his binder that has all of the text messages to reference. These specific messages were not spoken about yesterday. Messages read, "I want to be with you" "I can only be me with you" "You know I was born to love you".
Defense asked SA Harris about what Suzanne & Morphew grown daughters knew about their marriage. Both girls said their parents argued. Macy was asked about her dad being physically abusive & she allegedly told investigators she couldn't see him being abusive. On May 6, text message from Suzanne to Morphew said, "I’m done. I could care less about what you’ve been up to for years. We need to figure this out civilly." Morphew sent messages to Suzanne "I promise you, you are wrong about all the crazy thoughts about me. Why would I want another, only a fool would stray from an angel like you." Barry had deleted this text but investigators found it.
Agent Harris said Mallory was spoken to early on into the investigation but after that not able to speak with. But she said that they never spoke of divorce. Texts go on to say that Suzanne morning before she went missing--she allegedly messages Jeff Libler telling him she had a fine night & looked at houses for sale. She follows that with "Still talk about Arizona."
Attorney Eytan wanted to speak about Suzanne's secret bank account. The state objects & says beyond the scope. Judge overruled objection. In April, Suzanne opened up an account with GreenDot bank & Royal Compass Management. Eytan asked Agent Harris he had looked into this & he said he hadn't.
On redirect, Senior DDA Jeff Lindsey says there were indications that Morphew was 'out there looking' to have an affair. He refers to a screenshot from Barry's phone looking for 'cute girls near Salida,' and defense objects & says that there was a shared iCloud account between the family, so it's not clear who made the search. The state asked Agent Harris about Barry's phone. There was some deleted dating web history such as Ashley Maddison. When this was said, Barry sat up in his chair. In March, interviews with Morphew & the FBI asked Barry about the website Celebrity Jehad website he had allegedly search which is a *advertiser censored* website. Barry now has his arms crossed.
Agent Harris is being asked about Holly Wilson & a conversation (11/6/20) she had with BM. BM was accusing Suzanne of sleeping with a man in a basement in November. He allegedly told Holly, "If I find him, I will shoot off his balls, and shove them down his throat". When Holly Wilson asked BM about what the last thing he had said to Suzanne before she went missing & Holly remembers him stumbling & hesitating.
Another argument ensues as DDA Lindsey brings up a search on a pornographic website from Morphew's iCloud account. Before getting any further defenses asks judge to approach the bench. Reminder- the iCloud account is shared between the family.
Harris says both credit card activity & phone records show that Suzanne's lover was in Michigan at the time she disappeared on May 10. On May 10, JL had wished Suzanne a Happy Mother's Day & knew it would be a hard day because she missed her mom. Suzanne never responded. According to FBI Agent Ken Harris, the last time Suzanne's lover texted her was May 11, the day she was scheduled for a cancer treatment, wishing her luck. This was Monday after she was reported missing. She never responded.
Former FBI Agent Johnny Grusing worked in Denver FBI Office (retired 2 weeks ago). Has worked a lot of no-body homicide cases. The Chaffee County Sheriff's Office asked him to interview Morphew because of his behavioral analyst experience. He investigated Morphew's cell phone. He analyzed it. Agent Grusing was asked to find out where Barry was on May 9 & 10. Agent Grusing asked about Morphew's truck based on the data. There were 625 pages of the report to be analyzed. The data included when the door opened, closed & when brake lights were on, etc.
On May 9, 2020 - The telematics of his truck & phone were correlating with what Morphew was saying. And Suzanne’s phone.
At 12:02am incoming call & an outgoing 2:17am on May 9 on Suzanne's phone. Barry doesn't have a call until a little after 6am.
He went to Tail winds property around 11am then went home around 11:30am to eat veggie soup with Suzanne.
Morphew allegedly left around 1:30pm makes a few calls checks out a job at Kim Gyms in Salida.
Then returned home around 2:44pm as she was sunbathing & sending photos of herself to her lover, Jeff Libler.
Text messages: 9:50am BM: Wanna go on a hike? 9:52am SM: where? (no response). Later on, asking about summer tires on range rover? 10:36am SM: Wanna meet to hike? 12 minutes later at 10:48am BM: No, coming home. SM: Get Hot tub stuff.
At 11:50am-12:50am, Morphew's phone is pinged near the river behind his home. Investigators asked why this was, his response was, "I was looking for a turkey that MM had shot some time ago."
At 1:42pm Suzanne's last "proof of life" was a photo she sent to her lover on LinkedIn, according to FBI agent. She was out sunbathing. Shortly before she had messaged him saying “Guess who’s alone again??”
At 1:55pm door opens at DSI (Diesslin Structures, Inc.) in Salida & there is surveillance video as well.
At 2pm Morphew was getting his blade replaced on his bobcat.
At 2:03pm while Morphew was away Suzanne was sending LinkedIn messages to Jeff Libler. Investigators showed a picture Suzanne sent to Jeff to Barry, he said she "looked drunk" & she had "drunk eyes" Grusing says it's the last 'proof of life' for Suzanne.
At 2:11pm Suzanne told JL to get on What's Up App. She messaged him on LinkedIn. Exhibit #59: The photo is shown in the courtroom, Suzanne smiling.
Truck GPS coordinates show Barry's truck goes into park at 2:43:59. Phone coordinates show he walks around the house. You can hear a pin drop in the courtroom as tension is high. Agent Grusing asked what he was doing outside. Morphew responded, "I shoot chipmunks. I have shot 85 chipmunks."
At 2:47pm, BM's phone goes into airplane mode. Suzanne's phone is getting messages from her lover, Libler asking about the weather. meanwhile, BM says he was moving around the house shooting chipmunks. Former FBI agent reveals they found a tranquilizer dart cap in the dryer of the Morphew's house. He also asked Morphew about what gun he used. He said a 22.
His truck doesn't move from 2:44pm until 4:44pm on May 9.
At 4:44pm Morphew's truck door opens & closes.

I have plugged these times for May 9 & 10th into the timeline above
On May 9, Text messages: 9:50am BM: Wanna go on a hike? 9:52am SM: where? (no response) Later on, asking about summer tires on range rover? 10:36am SM: Wanna meet to hike? 12 minutes later 10:48am BM: No, coming home SM: Get Hottub stuff.
On May 9, between 8-9pm Saturday night before Suzanne was reported missing, her Facebook codes were reset & her account friended 23 of her old friends, 20 of them male. investigators asked Barry if he did this & he denied it.
Exhibit 60 is being showed. It is a google map of where the helmet & bike was found vs. where the home is on Puma Path. Suzanne;s helmet was 50 feet from the road.
On May 9 11:50am-12:50am, Morphew's phone is pinged near the river behind his home. Investigators asked why this was, his response was, "I was looking for a turkey that MM had shot some time ago."
Attorney Dru Neilsen is now questioning Agent Grusing. They are looking at Morphew's phone records proving that Barry called Suzanne as he drove home from Broomfield. No answer.
May 9th @ 2:03pm while Morphew was away Suzanne was sending LinkedIn messages to Jeff Libler. Investigators showed a picture Suzanne sent to Jeff to Barry, he said she "looked drunk" & she had "drunk eyes" Grusing says it's the last 'proof of life' for Suzanne.
Defense is arguing that Morphew's phone could be staying still in one spot- when the former agent says his phone was pinging on several places on the outside of the house. Defense says it could've been in one place- Grusing says "That's why we asked him what he was doing."
Defense attorney Dru NIelsen questioning Agent Grusing says Morphew spoke with investigators 23X from May 10 til the end of 2020. None of those times did he mention that he shot chipmunks. This in reference to why his cellphone showed he was running around the house on the 10th.
Defense exhibit J,K,I,L,M: Google maps around the Morphew home off Puma Path in Maysville with push pins on them. Neilsen again is speaking about the distance between these points referring to Morphew's phone. Neilsen says this shows he had to have been moving through walls.
Defense exhibit *advertiser censored*: Another copy of Cellebrite report. Neilsen is speaking about the precision value of this data. (more up to date program) The state is objecting this foundation because the exhibit doesn't say who's phone the data came from or a number.
Neighbors didn't report hearing any sort of argument or noise around 2:45 p.m. May 9, which is when investigators speculated that Morphew was 'chasing' Suzanne around the house, based that imprecise GPS data, Nielsen says.
Exhibit T is admitted. It is a copy of the Cellebrite readers report with precision value which Neilsen points out was info in the affidavit but didn't have the precision values the defense would like to add.
Defense now recounting the movement of Morphew's truck. Recall-- it was parked in the Morphew’s driveway from the afternoon of May 9th to early morning May 10th.
Neilsen is going over the truck & cell phone data again on May 9. At 1:55 p.m. door opens at DSI and there is surveillance video as well. At 2 p.m. Morphew was getting his blade replaced on his bobcat on Saturday, May 9.
Defense says the door opening events recorded from #BarryMorphew car are not always accurate in that on May 9th there was an event that was captured where the door was open but never closed.
At 2:44pm Morphew comes home according to truck data & the next-door event is at 4:44pm. Agent Grusing said he asked Morphew if he would authenticate whether he left the door open or not. Neilsen checking the data on the truck again from May 9, 10.
Defense Exhibit GG: List of events comparing the door events to the light events on Morphew's truck.
On page 6, Morphew's truck stays in the same coordinates at 4:44pm until 9:25pm. Parking light events on Page 7, doesn't change the coordinate of the truck. 6 odometer events on May 9. 3 odometer events 10:04am & 10:06am are around the same of two parking light events.
According to an employee at Salida Stove & Spa, Neilsen said from an interview with investigator Derek Graham Morphew visited on May 9 between 4 & 5:30 p.m. That there was nothing unusual about his demeanor. There were 19 miles that were unaccounted for when Morphew went to Broomfield. Neilsen said this Salida Stove & Spa trip could account for 18 miles. "At 2:45pm Morphew did something terrible to his wife & then went to get his hot tub fixed?" Neilsen asked. Agent Grusing responded, "I don't think their timing is accurate." (referring to Salida Stove & Spa).
Now Neilsen is going over phone data of Suzanne & Morphew. According to the CAST Report, an incoming call at 12:02am & an outgoing 2:17am on May 9. Barry doesn't have a call until a little after 6am. Also Suzanne's phone made an outgoing call at 2:53am of May 10. That was a half an hour before the door event occurred on Morphew's truck.
First interview with Com. Walker, Morphew claimed on Sunday morning, he set his alarm for 4:30am. He had already loaded the truck the night before. Left the driveway around 5a.m.
Takes about 32 minutes to drive to Johnson Village from Morphew home. Neilsen said this is according to Google directions. Based on phone data, he is in Johnson Village at 5:37am. "Do you think there is time to dispose of a human body in that time?" Neilsen asked. "No there is not," Agent Grusing replied.
At 6:56a.m. sent two text messages to Suzanne "You up?" "Happy Mother's Day, I love you."
Defense exhibit FF: Information about Airplane Mode that investigators showed to Morphew.
Defense asks Grusing about when Morphew's phone was turned onto airplane mode. She says “can a phone still be tracked in airplane mode?” He says “I would guess” she says “just because there was no phone activity doesn’t mean it was in airplane mode?” He says “yes”.
Verizon records show Morphew's cell phone at 7:19am on May 9 receiving a signal. Neilsen asked, "Can a phone receive a signal in airplane mode?" Grusing said, "I don't know."
Nielsen just asked to break for the day because she has another half an hour which would put the court past 5 pm. Judge said no, that she has to continue & we will wrap at 5pm.
Prosecution says they still have witnesses to still call, only 3 have been called. He believes those 3 are the “meat and potatoes” for this hearing BUT still would like to call other witnesses. He says defense is taking too long and he doesn’t know if it’ll be done in 4 days.
Judge says he’s going to keep defense tight on time because they’re taking fairly longer than the prosecution. Judge is worried this won’t be done in 4 total days. Defense says they understand they have to be shorter.
Judge says he’s not sure if they’ll continue the livestream at the Chaffee County Fairgrounds because there haven’t been many people showing up.
Time use: Defense 6 hours 55 minutes Prosecution 5 hours 20 minutes. Preliminary hearing continues at 8am on 8/23/21.

Thank you for all the work you did on this, @Niner. Can we start picking through some of it for discussion?
For example:
5/9
Sometime between 4:00 and 5:30 defense says BM was at Salida Stove and Spa. Did he purchase anything?
Prosecution says BM’s truck remained at the house from 2:44pm until 9:45 pm when it backed up about 95 feet down the driveway.
Truck system mysteriously rebooted at 5:30.
My thoughts are that BM more likely stopped at SS&S when he was in town between 1:38 and 2:44. He would have driven right past it going either to or from DSI.

@Niner

CO - CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #68 *ARREST*
8/10/21 Update: Day 2 of 4: State witnesses: FBI agent Ken Harris out of Denver office. He has been trained in the Behavioral Analysis Unit which led him to being involved in this case. Cross exam by Attorney Eytan. Asked about Morphew's safe in the garage. That it was searched. Eytan is claiming that Suzanne took $70K. The State objected. The judge allowed her to continue. Senior Deputy District Attorney Jeff Lindsey says Morphew previously accused law enforcement of stealing the money. Agent Harris said that Suzanne would use FindmyIphone app & track Barry. He would sometimes put it his phone on Airplane mode to avoid this.
Judge cautioned the defense that they are burning through a lot of their time & that they need to be cautious of that.
About 20 messages between JL & Suzanne were exchanged on 4/21/20. Agent Harris asked for his binder that has all of the text messages to reference. These specific messages were not spoken about yesterday. Messages read, "I want to be with you" "I can only be me with you" "You know I was born to love you".
Defense asked SA Harris about what Suzanne & Morphew grown daughters knew about their marriage. Both girls said their parents argued. Macy was asked about her dad being physically abusive & she allegedly told investigators she couldn't see him being abusive. On May 6, text message from Suzanne to Morphew said, "I’m done. I could care less about what you’ve been up to for years. We need to figure this out civilly." Morphew sent messages to Suzanne "I promise you, you are wrong about all the crazy thoughts about me. Why would I want another, only a fool would stray from an angel like you." Barry had deleted this text but investigators found it.
Agent Harris said Mallory was spoken to early on into the investigation but after that not able to speak with. But she said that they never spoke of divorce. Texts go on to say that Suzanne morning before she went missing--she allegedly messages Jeff Libler telling him she had a fine night & looked at houses for sale. She follows that with "Still talk about Arizona."
Attorney Eytan wanted to speak about Suzanne's secret bank account. The state objects & says beyond the scope. Judge overruled objection. In April, Suzanne opened up an account with GreenDot bank & Royal Compass Management. Eytan asked Agent Harris he had looked into this & he said he hadn't.
On redirect, Senior DDA Jeff Lindsey says there were indications that Morphew was 'out there looking' to have an affair. He refers to a screenshot from Barry's phone looking for 'cute girls near Salida,' and defense objects & says that there was a shared iCloud account between the family, so it's not clear who made the search. The state asked Agent Harris about Barry's phone. There was some deleted dating web history such as Ashley Maddison. When this was said, Barry sat up in his chair. In March, interviews with Morphew & the FBI asked Barry about the website Celebrity Jehad website he had allegedly search which is a *advertiser censored* website. Barry now has his arms crossed.
Agent Harris is being asked about Holly Wilson & a conversation (11/6/20) she had with BM. BM was accusing Suzanne of sleeping with a man in a basement in November. He allegedly told Holly, "If I find him, I will shoot off his balls, and shove them down his throat". When Holly Wilson asked BM about what the last thing he had said to Suzanne before she went missing & Holly remembers him stumbling & hesitating.
Another argument ensues as DDA Lindsey brings up a search on a pornographic website from Morphew's iCloud account. Before getting any further defenses asks judge to approach the bench. Reminder- the iCloud account is shared between the family.
Harris says both credit card activity & phone records show that Suzanne's lover was in Michigan at the time she disappeared on May 10. On May 10, JL had wished Suzanne a Happy Mother's Day & knew it would be a hard day because she missed her mom. Suzanne never responded. According to FBI Agent Ken Harris, the last time Suzanne's lover texted her was May 11, the day she was scheduled for a cancer treatment, wishing her luck. This was Monday after she was reported missing. She never responded.
Former FBI Agent Johnny Grusing worked in Denver FBI Office (retired 2 weeks ago). Has worked a lot of no-body homicide cases. The Chaffee County Sheriff's Office asked him to interview Morphew because of his behavioral analyst experience. He investigated Morphew's cell phone. He analyzed it. Agent Grusing was asked to find out where Barry was on May 9 & 10. Agent Grusing asked about Morphew's truck based on the data. There were 625 pages of the report to be analyzed. The data included when the door opened, closed & when brake lights were on, etc.

At 11:50am-12:50am, Morphew's phone is pinged near the river behind his home. Investigators asked why this was, his response was, "I was looking for a turkey that MM had shot some time ago."
At 1:42pm Suzanne's last "proof of life" was a photo she sent to her lover on LinkedIn, according to FBI agent. She was out sunbathing. Shortly before she had messaged him saying “Guess who’s alone again??”
At 1:55pm door opens at DSI (Diesslin Structures, Inc.) in Salida & there is surveillance video as well.
At 2pm Morphew was getting his blade replaced on his bobcat.
At 2:03pm while Morphew was away Suzanne was sending LinkedIn messages to Jeff Libler. Investigators showed a picture Suzanne sent to Jeff to Barry, he said she "looked drunk" & she had "drunk eyes" Grusing says it's the last 'proof of life' for Suzanne.
At 2:11pm Suzanne told JL to get on What's Up App. She messaged him on LinkedIn. Exhibit #59: The photo is shown in the courtroom, Suzanne smiling.
Truck GPS coordinates show Barry's truck goes into park at 2:43:59. Phone coordinates show he walks around the house. You can hear a pin drop in the courtroom as tension is high. Agent Grusing asked what he was doing outside. Morphew responded, "I shoot chipmunks. I have shot 85 chipmunks."
At 2:47pm, BM's phone goes into airplane mode. Suzanne's phone is getting messages from her lover, Libler asking about the weather. meanwhile, BM says he was moving around the house shooting chipmunks. Former FBI agent reveals they found a tranquilizer dart cap in the dryer of the Morphew's house. He also asked Morphew about what gun he used. He said a 22.

On May 9, between 8-9pm Saturday night before Suzanne was reported missing, her Facebook codes were reset & her account friended 23 of her old friends, 20 of them male. investigators asked Barry if he did this & he denied it.
Exhibit 60 is being showed. It is a google map of where the helmet & bike was found vs. where the home is on Puma Path. Suzanne;s helmet was 50 feet from the road.
On May 9 11:50am-12:50am, Morphew's phone is pinged near the river behind his home. Investigators asked why this was, his response was, "I was looking for a turkey that MM had shot some time ago."
Attorney Dru Neilsen is now questioning Agent Grusing. They are looking at Morphew's phone records proving that Barry called Suzanne as he drove home from Broomfield. No answer.
May 9th @ 2:03pm while Morphew was away Suzanne was sending LinkedIn messages to Jeff Libler. Investigators showed a picture Suzanne sent to Jeff to Barry, he said she "looked drunk" & she had "drunk eyes" Grusing says it's the last 'proof of life' for Suzanne.
Defense is arguing that Morphew's phone could be staying still in one spot- when the former agent says his phone was pinging on several places on the outside of the house. Defense says it could've been in one place- Grusing says "That's why we asked him what he was doing."
Defense attorney Dru NIelsen questioning Agent Grusing says Morphew spoke with investigators 23X from May 10 til the end of 2020. None of those times did he mention that he shot chipmunks. This in reference to why his cellphone showed he was running around the house on the 10th.
Defense exhibit J,K,I,L,M: Google maps around the Morphew home off Puma Path in Maysville with push pins on them. Neilsen again is speaking about the distance between these points referring to Morphew's phone. Neilsen says this shows he had to have been moving through walls.
Defense exhibit *advertiser censored*: Another copy of Cellebrite report. Neilsen is speaking about the precision value of this data. (more up to date program) The state is objecting this foundation because the exhibit doesn't say who's phone the data came from or a number.
Neighbors didn't report hearing any sort of argument or noise around 2:45 p.m. May 9, which is when investigators speculated that Morphew was 'chasing' Suzanne around the house, based that imprecise GPS data, Nielsen says.
Exhibit T is admitted. It is a copy of the Cellebrite readers report with precision value which Neilsen points out was info in the affidavit but didn't have the precision values the defense would like to add.
Defense now recounting the movement of Morphew's truck. Recall-- it was parked in the Morphew’s driveway from the afternoon of May 9th to early morning May 10th.
Neilsen is going over the truck & cell phone data again on May 9. At 1:55 p.m. door opens at DSI and there is surveillance video as well. At 2 p.m. Morphew was getting his blade replaced on his bobcat on Saturday, May 9.
Defense says the door opening events recorded from #BarryMorphew car are not always accurate in that on May 9th there was an event that was captured where the door was open but never closed.
At 2:44pm Morphew comes home according to truck data & the next-door event is at 4:44pm. Agent Grusing said he asked Morphew if he would authenticate whether he left the door open or not. Neilsen checking the data on the truck again from May 9, 10.
Defense Exhibit GG: List of events comparing the door events to the light events on Morphew's truck.
On page 6, Morphew's truck stays in the same coordinates at 4:44pm until 9:25pm. Parking light events on Page 7, doesn't change the coordinate of the truck. 6 odometer events on May 9. 3 odometer events 10:04am & 10:06am are around the same of two parking light events.
According to an employee at Salida Stove & Spa, Neilsen said from an interview with investigator Derek Graham Morphew visited on May 9 between 4 & 5:30 p.m. That there was nothing unusual about his demeanor. There were 19 miles that were unaccounted for when Morphew went to Broomfield. Neilsen said this Salida Stove & Spa trip could account for 18 miles. "At 2:45pm Morphew did something terrible to his wife & then went to get his hot tub fixed?" Neilsen asked. Agent Grusing responded, "I don't think their timing is accurate." (referring to Salida Stove & Spa).
Now Neilsen is going over phone data of Suzanne & Morphew. According to the CAST Report, an incoming call at 12:02am & an outgoing 2:17am on May 9. Barry doesn't have a call until a little after 6am. Also Suzanne's phone made an outgoing call at 2:53am of May 10. That was a half an hour before the door event occurred on Morphew's truck.
First interview with Com. Walker, Morphew claimed on Sunday morning, he set his alarm for 4:30am. He had already loaded the truck the night before. Left the driveway around 5a.m.
Takes about 32 minutes to drive to Johnson Village from Morphew home. Neilsen said this is according to Google directions. Based on phone data, he is in Johnson Village at 5:37am. "Do you think there is time to dispose of a human body in that time?" Neilsen asked. "No there is not," Agent Grusing replied.
At 6:56a.m. sent two text messages to Suzanne "You up?" "Happy Mother's Day, I love you."
Defense exhibit FF: Information about Airplane Mode that investigators showed to Morphew.
Defense asks Grusing about when Morphew's phone was turned onto airplane mode. She says “can a phone still be tracked in airplane mode?” He says “I would guess” she says “just because there was no phone activity doesn’t mean it was in airplane mode?” He says “yes”.
Verizon records show Morphew's cell phone at 7:19am on May 9 receiving a signal. Neilsen asked, "Can a phone receive a signal in airplane mode?" Grusing said, "I don't know."
Nielsen just asked to break for the day because she has another half an hour which would put the court past 5 pm. Judge said no, that she has to continue & we will wrap at 5pm.
Prosecution says they still have witnesses to still call, only 3 have been called. He believes those 3 are the “meat and potatoes” for this hearing BUT still would like to call other witnesses. He says defense is taking too long and he doesn’t know if it’ll be done in 4 days.
Judge says he’s going to keep defense tight on time because they’re taking fairly longer than the prosecution. Judge is worried this won’t be done in 4 total days. Defense says they understand they have to be shorter.
Judge says he’s not sure if they’ll continue the livestream at the Chaffee County Fairgrounds because there haven’t been many people showing up.
Time use: Defense 6 hours 55 minutes Prosecution 5 hours 20 minutes. Preliminary hearing continues at 8am on 8/23/21.

SUZANNE MORPHEW: Preliminary hearing in Barry Morphew trial reveals new details | FOX31 Denver

 

[OldCop]

There were 19 miles that were unaccounted for when Morphew went to Broomfield. Neilsen said this Salida Stove & Spa trip could account for 18 miles.

Except he went to Broomfield on Sunday morning and the trip to Salida stove and Spa was Saturday afternoon!
Also, defense stated that BM made the turn at Johnson Village at 5:37 am Sunday morning on his way to Broomfield. They emphasized this to try and prove that BM did leave PP at 5:00 am as he stated. Except, BM got in his truck at approximately 3:26 am, left his home at approximately 3:58, and dumped SM’s bike. Since it takes about 33 minutes to get from PP to Johnson Village, where was BM between 4:00 am and 5:00 am?
GM says he was driving around texting
MG said he was calling her
SM’s phone last pinged at 4:30 near Poncha Springs. Did BM dump SM’s phone in the trash at Poncha Market?
BM put his phone in airplane mode between 4:31 am and 5:37 am when he was at Johnson Village.
It takes about 22 minutes to get from Poncha Springs to Johnson Village.
That means BM had about 40 minutes in airplane mode to do something between Poncha Springs and Johnson Village.
MOO

Prosecutors Outline Barry And Suzanne Morphew's Movements On Days Around Her Disappearance

"During questioning in November of 2020, Barry indicated he was shooting chipmunks. Grusing asked him if he was using a .22 caliber rifle, which he said was important because investigators found a tranquilizer dart cap in the Morphew’s dryer, and knew that a .22 caliber rifle would also fire that. Barry confirmed it was the .22 he was using to shoot chipmunks."

Hope it's okay to put this here. I've been working on a Google Earth map of important locations.

Thank you for all the work you did on this, @Niner. Can we start picking through some of it for discussion?
For example:
5/9
Sometime between 4:00 and 5:30 defense says BM was at Salida Stove and Spa. Did he purchase anything?
Prosecution says BM’s truck remained at the house from 2:44pm until 9:45 pm when it backed up about 95 feet down the driveway.
Truck system mysteriously rebooted at 5:30.
My thoughts are that BM more likely stopped at SS&S when he was in town between 1:38 and 2:44. He would have driven right past it going either to or from DSI.

something that one of the co-workers of
barrie told me uh when i interviewed them
they said that he was constantly
checking his game cameras and his
cameras at the home
and so when i had heard that you know
the surveillance cameras at his home weren't working
i mean obviously in the courtroom we
found out i mean we don't know who
you know the defense is saying suzanne
pulled the plug on the cables
um but it's like
it i mean that's something that these
co-workers who worked with him every
single day said that he was constantly checking and
so for them to not be working is very interesting

$70,000 -amount that was agreed upon between BM and the Indiana company for the subcontract work on the Broomfield wall. according to LS's video reporting about the Broomfield wall job, BM was to be paid about $70,000 for that job.

Here is the link. At about 13:20 LS mentions how much MG remembers BM was to be paid for the Broomfield job involving the two walls:

Suzanne Morphew was considering fleeing to Ecuador with lover, husband Barry's murder trial hears | Daily Mail Online

Aug 9, 2021

Monday's hearing was the first time any of the details that went into their case emerged. They include;

• Suzanne was having an affair with Jeff Libler, a married Michigan father of six who she'd gone to high school with in Indiana
• They met up seven times in several states and exchanged messages on LinkedIn to try to hide their romance from Barry, who became suspicious after reading some of their texts
• In December 2019 Libler told Suzanne that Ecuador was a cheap place to live with good healthcare, and her internet records show searches for language schools in Ecuador
• Suzanne had been taking antidepressants and told friends she was begging Barry for a divorce but he refused to give her one
• Suzanne had a spy pen that she was going to use to snoop on Barry because she was convinced he was also having an affair
• She told friends in text messages that Barry turned their daughters against her whenever they argued
• The defense pointed to unidentified male DNA that was found in Suzanne's Range Rover on the steering wheel - it is not Barry's and it matches three profiles in the criminal database
• Barry was awake on the morning of her disappearance and was 'disposing of evidence' between 2am and 5am

Sheriffs found out about the affair when they were looking into Suzanne's disappearance in November last year, but it's unclear how.

They then went to Libler and asked him about the affair and he asked if he was a target in the investigation.

The affair began in 2018 when Suzanne, seemingly out of the blue, contacted Jeff saying: 'Howdy stranger.'

The first time they met up was in New Orleans, where investigators said they 'fooled around' but did not have sex.

The relationship turned physical in 2019. As the pair communicated more over text, Barry became suspicious so they started speaking through LinkedIn messages.

[..]

On May 8 he texted her: 'You look good in biking gear babe. You need to be my wife.'

On the morning of May 9 she texted him: 'We need to be husband & wife.'

Later that day, he texted her that 'my gang is my home'. There were no texts after that.

Friends of the missing mother-of-two testified that she'd confided in them about how strained her marriage to Barry was.

Sheila Oliver said Suzanne wanted to leave him.

Suzanne Morphew's affair revealed at murder trial, bodycam shows deputies finding her mountain bike

Aug 9, 2021

Suzanne's cell phone last pinged at 4:23 a.m. on May 10, 2020.

Walker, who testified that he was present when the deputies first found the bicycle, also told District Attorney Linda Stanley on Monday that he had been communicating with Suzanne and Barry’s daughter, Macy, earlier that Mother’s Day. She had taken a road trip that weekend with her sister, Mallory, and a friend, Holly, and grew concerned when her mother wasn’t answering her text
messages.

When deputies first arrived at the Morphew home, body camera video shows Macy’s boyfriend, Miles Harvey, exiting the garage. He told deputies it was unusual that Suzanne’s car was still at the home but her bike was gone, as she usually takes her car with her before she sets out on the bike trail. He also tells deputies that he knows his girlfriend’s parents had problems in the past and talked about separating.

Footage shows Barry Morphew getting to the scene around 8:46 p.m. He is seen getting out of his truck and asks "Where was the bike?" and then, "Was there a crash?" According to Walker, Barry told him that "His worst scare was someone picking her up" and described Suzanne as his "angel."

He also told Walker that the RV park near their house was a suspicious location that needed to be checked and mentioned a mountain lion.

More than 110 search warrants were issued in connection to the case. The first was executed on May 11, 2020, on the Morphew home, including their vehicles. The house was taken over for 10 days before it was returned to the family. FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents came back again that July. Barry Morphew’s close friend, George Davis, helped organize initial search efforts for weeks.

Suzanne Morphew Was Having Affair With Man Who Did Not Come Forward After She Vanished: Court Reporter

8/9/21

Barry Morphew is in court in Chaffee County on Monday for a preliminary hearing, during which prosecutors are presenting evidence collected in the investigation and witnesses are providing testimony. Among the items presented in court, according to Fox 21 News reporter Lauren Scharf, is body cam footage from officers who first responded to the missing persons report. Also, Detective Alex Walker, who wrote the 130-page arrest affidavit for Barry Morphew, took the stand Monday morning.

The hearing is not being live-streamed, but Scharf has provided continuous updates on her Twitter feed. According to those updates, Walker testified that Suzanne Morphew had been having an affair with a man she went to high school with for two years prior to her death. This is the first time that investigators have commented on extramarital relationships. The detective reportedly testified that Suzanne had obtained a “spy pen” because she suspected her husband of having an affair.

“Barry wasn’t found having an affair, Suzanne was having an affair for two years,” Walker reportedly said
