Yeah.Yes - if he had her Durable Power of Attorney - and the fact that he did not....speaks volumes to the state of their relationship IMO

I want to be completely clear on this post:IMO, an interesting fact is that SM hasn't been found. There seems to be an information or knowledge gap with that. If BM is innocent (or not directly involved), that would make some sense. If he is directly involved, that tells me that LE is not aware of all his movements during the times of interest. They are missing information - all MOO.
This is Channel 9 (NBC) aerial footage of the foundation/slab search by LE of BM’s job site. Have any of you looked how close the water edge is to the property where “machinery” was running the hard-of-hearing neighbor talked about? I was surprised, the property is right at the water’s edge.
If BM is guilty, the timeline is indeed very tight. IMHO, it's entirely possible that they had that fight and he accidentally injured and killed her without meaning to. The honorable thing to do in that case is, of course, to call the cops, confess, and take your punishment. If he panicked and hid the body but the cops can't find it -- well, he did a damn good job. AFAIK, if he was on his way to Denver, stopping along the way for any longer than it takes to pee will alert the cops by GPS of any place that might be of interest. If he had former knowledge of an area (say, an abandoned mine near the road) he could possibly have used the mine. But otherwise, it ends up looking like he planned it. MOO.IMO, if BM is involved and the only person involved, there's a hard limit on how far away SM can reasonably be from her house, especially given the last known contact. Assume, I guess that she wasn't at home for that, there's the suspect statement from BM that he saw her at 5am that morning. Either way, a very tight time frame for being any great distance away. All MOO.
I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think I saw that walkway on the helicopter (or drone?) footage. I have no idea how to find that footage, though.Someone has to help me with that info. It was I believe a property listing and then recent photos.
Convenient way to transport a body in that area without using your truck and it annoying GPS.Nothing confirmed but I'd be willing to bet that they do.
There's no ambiguity with one fact in this case: BM's behavior. He is clearly avoiding anything that puts him in the spotlight. Is he innocent? Is he guilty? Is he both innocent and guilty? A lot of other things in this case can be at least plausibly explained. The behavior cannot. Whatever the reason for this behavior, it doesn't point in a positive direction for someone that is under scrutiny. All MOO,
Finding Suzanne Morphew: Investigators Search Home Again, Say No One Has Been Ruled Out As Suspect
How unusual is it for investigators to search a home twice? I know there is a lot of things have to be proven to just get a search warrant in the first place but is it odd they would get a second chance to search the property? I don't think I have ever seen this done before.
MOO a 2003 Honda apparently around.Do we know if the Morphews have an ATV?
actually, it's pretty common that LE goes back a second or third time to double check that they didn't miss something the first time.Finding Suzanne Morphew: Investigators Search Home Again, Say No One Has Been Ruled Out As Suspect

Great examples, thank you. Care to hazard a guess as to why BM no longer has a POA? Did she she revoke it after she was declared cancer free?for those who may be unfamiliar with a power of attorney - I will share some recent experiences - a sister gave her sister her POA. she was not married at the time. the sister receiving the POA quit claimed her sister's house to someone and signed the deed under her POA. sister now does not own that house. sister does not even know it was done because the QC deed is recorded and sister doesn't check public records. who does?
here's another one - son has mom's POA. Son goes to bank with the POA and withdraws her money and sets up a new account at another bank. Mom passes away. Son takes the same POA to another bank (Mom had multiple bank accounts) and uses that to take remaining money from account. Now the bank had no way of knowing mom was dead (POA dies with you) so son still has the money. Siblings now have to file a lawsuit to get that money back. It's very powerful and usually it is between husbands and wives, or parents and children if parent is ailing. It can be very powerful and specific depending on the state. It can also be used by parties who are up to no good.

More likly related to a new discovery or new evidence, they didn't know about the first time.actually, it's pretty common that LE goes back a second or third time to double check that they didn't miss something the first time.
LE are human and make mistakes too.
My guess? He never had a DPOA for her - just a specific POA for a specific piece of property. He could not use that on this new transaction. Maybe he tried and discovered that the very specificity of this POA would not allow him to sign for her ? But, if he did have a DPOA that was not specific (whatever the IN or CO statute requires) she would need to sign a revocation of it and mail it (or hand it to him) - it isn't recorded but we have had clients choose to record the revocation in the public records because they want to make sure that original DPOA cannot be honored anywhere.Great examples, thank you.

They can search public areas as often as they like, but they must have a search warrant to search private property. To get a search warrant they must have probable cause. Search warrants are issued for a specific time period, usually 14 days. If you want to search a residence a second time, you must go back to the court with NEW probable cause.actually, it's pretty common that LE goes back a second or third time to double check that they didn't miss something the first time.

It’s @K9Enzo. I am curious too if the dogs can smell through metal and does lime hide scent from dogs? Maybe she’ll see this and respond. Or maybe she will think I’ve already explained all this 100 times.![]()
Do we know the model? Do we know if it is an atv? Even if it was trailered somewhere with BM’s truck, he could take off deep into the woods with it. LE would know where the truck was parked but there would be hundreds of acres of rough terrain where he could deposit a body.MOO a 2003 Honda apparently around.
