Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #12

[Knox]

But couldn’t an LLC be listed under any name and not necessarily their own names?

Yes of course. Matter of fact their name wouldn't have to be listed as the registered agent either. But in all the other filings both in IN & CO, BM was the registered agent, so based on historical filings ...

I'm moving on now.

My guess is that IF BM did it, SM was the wealthy one and he came into it by marriage. I keep getting that feeling not sure why.

 

[pocketaccent]

It would be interesting to know, if a divorce did occur, who got what.

Wow, I didn't think of that. Maybe they filed for divorce.

 

[nodamselindistress]

Wow, I didn't think of that. Maybe they filed for divorce.

The local reporters SUCK if that is the case...and I highly doubt it

 

[GordianKnot]

Or hit by a car and fell into the river and washed away. How about those muddy waters?

Attacked by a mountain lion.
Abducted.
Wrecked her bike and got disoriented.

Frankly, I'm surprised we didn't hear sex trafficking or alien abduction balloons being floated.

I've said this before, too:

I don't think I'd ever seen someone both figuratively AND literally pointing their finger in every possible direction but their own before.

Until I saw that video.

Yes. AND people have been pointing out how unusual it is to have to get a guardianship at all. That most married couples would have POA. Why didn’t they? Did she not want him to have POA?

JMO We have had a POA since Desert Storm, even tho I have been told they don’t expire, per se, valid til you revoke them. It has not been an issue since then, and all our financials are designed for either of us to access if the other dies. Do I need to make sure that POA is still in effect? Is it necessary?

I too believe Indiana will be the site of more interesting turn of events.

Today I wanted to get out of my home office and persuaded my husband to take a little drive....we live very close to the Arcadia Morphew property. While we were turning onto the road that leads to the property, lo and behold a black truck with a man driving resembling BM, followed by a Jeep containing an officer in a badge, which appeared to be from the Hamilton County Sheriff's office, passed us. As both cars turned east toward Cicero, my gut wanted to follow but my brain didn't agree. Now I wish I had. We took some photos of the property and went back through Cicero. I only saw 20 black trucks during our tour through Cicero. Yes, they are popular in Indiana. I couldn't remember what kind of truck BM has.

When viewing the Morphew property it is fenced into sections. You can't see the house, it is nestled in the woods. The gated entrance is black iron with a large "M" on it. It also has an intercom to announce entry, along with a keypad. I haven't researched which parcel is what so not sure if the farmer working the land next to the gated entrance might be connected. He didn't seem to mind our presence.

We took some photos of the property and went back through Cicero. I only saw 20 black trucks during our tour through Cicero. Yes, they are popular in Indiana. I couldn't remember what kind of truck BM has. So "we" decided to go by BM mothers house in Noblesville to take a gander. No black truck. One more drive by to a certain business which was also gated, and the gate was open. We observed smoke coming from the property around the buildings and barns that are set back about a half a mile from the road. Not much, just enough to catch our attention. Then the gate started to close. Yes we were spotted.

So now as I came on to post, I see there was an Order granting temporary guardianship.... today...with a closing tomorrow on the property.

Is BM here? I think so. But this is all MOO of course.

(I tried to post some but said they were too large- probably against TOS to do so anyway)

Wondering, if it truly was BM, was he getting escorted to the Sheriff’s office for an official interview?

 

[Knox]

Wow, I didn't think of that. Maybe they filed for divorce.

I mused early on that SM may have consulted or hired an attorney and letting BM know she filed/intended to file is the cause for her disappearance.
The attorney may have contacted LE right off the bat and shared some details. Who knows, could be true.

You should consult a lawyer to be certain. I am NOT A LAWYER. Differences vary by state. I am in Florida and recently had POAs for both elderly parents; I was advised to file in local county court to be certain, which I did over 5 years ago. Never questioned once you file.

 

[Spartygirl]

This is CRAZY! I was snooping on my Ancestry ... and found this when I was looking for SM’s mothers obituary. WTH! Has date of death May 7 and states she was cremated.

Thank You for your families service.

Hopefully it's not an unknown sick sk, who is bringing his "accounting" up to scratch before he gets caught finally. Seriously.

WHY choose May 7? Does she know something we should?

Exactly - how many have we followed ? And they all end up the same - every. Single. Time

Florida changed the DPOA statute in 2012- check your state to see if you should update it

So far I have followed the Peterson (both Scott and Michael), Cooper, Young, Dulos, Broussard and lately Vallow cases....this one seems different to me even as much as I see suspicion in BM I am just not ready to jump off this very uncomfortable fence.

BBM:

I agree with you that this case doesn't bear many similarities to the ones you listed, except possibly the Peterson case in some respects.

Personally, I think this case bears a much closer resemblance to, say, the Barbara Thomas case out of California and the Kelsey Berreth case out of Colorado, than any of the ones you've cited above.

Unfortunately, in the cases I mentioned, the bodies of neither woman have ever been found.

Sadly, the Barbara Thomas case appears to be stone cold, even though she's been missing less than a year.

The Kelsey Berreth case was successfully prosecuted as a no-body case and her evil, moronic killer is serving LWOP + 156 years + 5 years probation. (I love that the judge tacked on that 5 years probation bit).

All this to say:

I think we're likely looking at another no-body case with SM.
I hate saying that, and I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

But that's where I think we're headed.

JMO.

I don’t think BM intended to set the stage for a mountain lion attack, rather, I think he took advantage of it. Here’s why:

The whole bike ride narrative, along with the bike being found, was done in an effort to stage an abduction.

The expectation is that they would see the bike, and then begin investigating an abduction. God knows that scenario has occurred before.

For whatever reason, the sheriff’s department, CBI, and FBI, didn’t bite. They seem to have known that she wasn’t abducted, and quickly began focusing on BM.

In response to this, or in response to speculation that an animal attack occurred, the “mountain lion” theory emerged.

Looking at that YouTube video, it appears that BM is pushing a mix of both. Basically, “I thought she was attacked by a mountain lion, now I’m not sure she was attacked by a mountain lion, but she still could have been attacked by a mountain lion. Also, maybe she was abducted.”

Muddy waters, yet not really.

Yeah, definitely shades of Letecia, ran away,abducted, run over, raped, hitch hiked to FL, did I miss one?
But didn’t we all say nobody could be so stupid? So what gives? We questioned Al? Don’t we have to look back at SM? Wouldn’t she have known, deep down.
I am in my retirement house, but if I were still looking, CO would be dropping to the bottom.

No they don't automatically have that right. I have to resign papers yearly for access to my husbands medical records. I never remember when it's up. At Kaiser's suggestion , last time I signed, and complained, they said get a lawyer and make it permanent. No, you don't have the right to your spouses name. You can't buy property with your spouse based on just signing their name ...you need a POA. Crazy, IMO not to have one.

ITA. We have always had one as part of our estate planning and wills.

I don't think IN Guardianship provisions provide for the petitioner getting a quickie and never looking back.

I think the petitioner probably has to make an appearance at the "Permanent" hearing and provide proof that he did what was approved and the permanent petition will be withdrawn. (I think the court will have to keep safe SM's share of proceeds too).

I think this was most likely a transaction in progress and why the emergency permission pursuant to Guardianship granted.

Not only do I think it would be impossible for a Permanent Guardianship petition to be considered (i.e., the ward (SM) can't be examined) but I think BM would be pushing his luck to think he could go further with the petition.

There's evidence in the public record that demonstrates SM was very prudent with allowing the use of her POA and nobody had free reign over her name or authority.

In the event the court would allow the permanent petition heard, the attorney assigned by the court to represent SM at a permanent hearing would certainly present such evidence. I think a judge would stop any permanent declaration dead in it's tracks.

I think Conservatorship for SM is what applies here and not Guardianship.

MOO

To add to what you have already included, a Petition for PermanentGuardianship will have to be filed and heard in the Colorado Probate Court. The Indiana Probate Court, IMO might not have the jurisdiction to hear the petition as both BM and SM are Colorado residents. MOO

Wow, I didn't think of that. Maybe they filed for divorce.

We checked in the very first thread -nothing actually filed with the court

That may depend also, I am an Indiana resident with my Indiana drivers license, but I live in Lou,KY now I am unable to get any Ky state help (not that I need it) or vote in this State until my license is given to me by Ky, so if they left the vehicles registered in Indiana it would not be that big of a stretch to think there valid license may still be from Indiana.
