Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #27

The bobcat is a loud machine, and depending on where and on what it's situated, a harmonic can get going to set up some vibration. Decibels in tbe 90's.
To me long running of a machine without going somewhere or doing work means charging up the battery.

Recognition. I have always believed if LE put a family photo out that more tips would come in. I have read in many places where people have recognized him only once seeing this story (not by name alone). That being said though, I think LE knows exactly what they are doing, and it has zero to do with covering up or framing anyone. If he has been interrogated 3 times/30 hours, he has likely been recorded. Jmho

Exactly, he as to know that they have him on recording and can use that to to , oh me I'm going to get in trouble again.Never mind.

“It was only because I didn’t know the time that I did something, a mechanical thing, to my bobcat...” he said.

At the risk of taking him for his word, could this mean that all other aspects of his story/timeline are LE-verifiable but for this single inconsistency? 5 am, Denver for worksite prep, etc. Did he tell them about this mechanical thing, but just messed up the “time” it happened, whether on purpose or because it was all a blur in a panic (wasn’t really checking the watch then)?

I just feel like the whole trip to Denver aspect should be squeaky-clean if planned as an alibi. All other “things” completed by 5 am Sunday. Not too ideal to be spotted stopping along the way, captured on camera slowly making progress, or just being seen doing anything but driving straight to Denver (in the daylight?). Saturday night is smack in the middle of timeline, as people have said here before. That search was awfully public, unlike many others. Something important sure seems to center around there, the darkness, and the timeline. IMO.

Elimination of possible answers solves many puzzles.
Just MOO whoever took Suzanne made straight for the deserted 40 miles of highway south of Salida.

This is a massive case and every car passing through the area from the 8th to 10th was being eliminated, and then mercifully the last confirmed contact turned out to be later than originally thought due to the friends text conversation. That got cut off Saturday night.
Now the window is about 8pm Saturday to 5pm Sunday, not even 24 hours.
Every vehicle needs elimination.
MOO If she is not within 1/2 mile of her house she is elsewhere, and even without finding her the "how" she got elsewhere will eventually crack the case.

Could he be slyly implying that she was having a secret fling, as a way to blame her, and deflect?

Much like BM was trying to reestablish his bicycle narrative/ the cat dragged her etc, I think he was also trying to rekindle the narrative he tried to establish about involvement by his wife’s family that was floating around social media. Someone she knew well. His theory never made it to msm because it was ludicrous. I did not take it to mean an affair. But that could have been his intention. Hard to say. IMO. All just deflection and overwhelming urge to control and be smartest guy in the room... Just so tragic for SM and the people in his life who are caught in his web. Ultimate betrayal.

 

[NatKingCola]

Also, on the run-in with someone who knows her well bit. I mean, how else are you going to explain away all the stars aligning for opportunity that weekend...

 

[Boxer]

Finishing up cancer treatments and being left alone on Mothers Day in a new isolated living situation. Being left alone MD was due to assertive decisions made by BM for both himself and for the girls.

Charging the battery? No reason to in middle of night. If the alternator charges the battery which has enough juice to start, why do it in middle of night- and not when u get to job site and why not jump it with a truck if it don't start on job? Any contractor with equipment carries jumpers. I think noise was intentional-Try getting the police to come there and establish a alibi. imo

Agree. Its huge that a machine just ran on for "no" reason. If kids were doing it maybe...it was a Saturday night but given the circumstance most kids would come forward at least to their parents to say it was them and sorry.

 

[susiQ]

I agree. I think SM was ready for a male friend who was kind, who was loving, who didn’t try to control every aspect of her life. I think she was exhausted; from the chemo, from always trying to please Barry, from being away from family and friends, from always having to keep up appearances. She was ready for peace and happiness and no stress. I wonder if she told Barry.
To Barry, she was an anchor. She was Debbie Downer, always sick, always going on about her faith, no fun. He wanted to be in with the in crowd. I think he was having a bit of a midlife crisis. His best buddy was 20 years younger than him. He was always, and still is, working out at the gym. He needs to keep up appearances both physically and monetarily. He needs to be the big man in town. He wanted to be free.
MOO

So much agree. I think we can conclude from what we do know that SM’s faith was genuine. She lived what she believed. BM’s “faith” OTOH was counterfeit. He took advantage of her faith, yet, he felt constrained by it also. Everything we’ve seen from him since her disappearance screams, I’ve moved on. What he couldn’t move on without, was SM’s money. We have no idea what kind of financial hole he dug himself into with credit cards or unsecured lines of credit. Yes, it shows there were no mortgages but that in and of itself does not mean there are no outstanding debts, some of which Suzanne may not have known about. Did he need her to co-sign to increase his credit and she finally refused him?

We will certainly know more when/if an arrest is made, but even then, the entire story will only be revealed during a trial as we saw with PF. Unless of course, he does a Fotis Dulos!

During the FBI/CBI search of the residential construction site, I heard a reporter's live sound bite standing on the road with the son of the woman interviewed after she said she was awakened by the loud equipment noise. The son told the reporter that when he came to visit his mom on Mother's Day, she explained to the family about noise in the night that caused the windows to rattle. I think this corroborates your vibrating reference and is also very true of heavy equipment in general. MOO

I was looking for this interview! I knew the son spoke! Thx

 

[NatKingCola]

Sorry, I don’t know how to do the slick quoting stuff...

“And I finally got up to check and, as I opened the back door, it stopped. So I thought, maybe they are just moving something or whatever, and so I did not go out and investigate.”

Understanding the credibility has been called into question and we don’t know if there were more neighbors who may have heard something, but for the sake of argument. Would she wake up immediately or is 30 mins kind of a minimum estimate? Would she possibly turn on her porch light, making her presence known to the operator hence the engine cuts out right away? If it did. Or would someone have been that keenly aware of a door opening or any witnesses? And why if busy with nothing-to-see-here work? I guess maybe out of politeness. Could someone have been working the dark (but why) so spotting a light would be easy? Just wondering...IMO.

Edit: And what are the odds, if the machine truly stopped as the door opened, that work/repair/moving of equipment, etc. was completed perfectly in sync with that and did not need to be continued further afterwards? Plan potentially foiled or what other reasons?

So, BM told TD per video he was "cleared & SM's family stated that BM told them he was "cleared"
BM LIED
1. LE: "And until we determine what happened to Suzanne, we can’t discount any scenario or formally eliminate anyone from suspicion.”
2. BM said: "...they are trying to cover it up and blame it on me,"

BM told TD as well as others he went to Denver at 5am
BM LIED
Now we hear the data from his pickup truck did not match what he had told investigators.

BM told TD on his video that BM talked to SM Sunday morning about leaving for a Denver job.
BM LIED
He changed it to he left at 5am and did not wake SM

BM said he would do anything to get her back.
BM LIED
He has hid and became silent.

BM stated: "...we are just a Godly, loving, caring, family and this thing is just a tragedy.”
BM is LYING
Draper said that shortly after uploading the video of his conversation to YouTube, he began to get a number of text messages from numbers he didn’t recognize. He said that some of the text messages “weren’t very nice,” and that one suggested he would “pay.” (Is that how loving caring people talk?)

BM said: "...he and his daughters are holding onto the hope that Suzanne is alive and will be found."
Then why is BM lying and speaking in past tense about his wife:
BM said: "And Suzanne trusted the Lord and if one person got..."

BM in his 26 second pleas for Suzanne's life addressed an abductor.
BM LIED
BM stated he was the last one to see her alive when he saw her at 5am and she was asleep.
By his own admission he erased an abductor theory.

We were told he refused twice to take a polygraph (notice he doesn't say anything about voice analysis).
BM stated he was never asked to do a polygraph.
And we are supposed to believe him???

 

[susiQ]

Makes me wonder if in desperation he’ll throw his good friend GD under the proverbial bus! Hey, GD would know when SM goes on her bike rides and when I called him he immediately suggested he’d go look for her and by golly he knew where to look, right? Never mind the fact that BM likely directed him there. Throwing shade on others is not beneath BM, most notably towards LE! When there’s an arrest, there will be even more to discuss, I’m sure! MOO

The noise at Salida property reported to be on Saturday 5/9 somewhere between 11pm -12am

 

[Auntie Cipation]

Looking back at FBI search photos of jobsite it looks like a home is very close.

There is a house on either side of the jobsite house, and houses beyond each of them, and one house across the street. However, the physically closest structures on either side, including what is shown in your photo, appear to be outbuildings (garage, barn, storage, etc), ie not likely where the neighbor was sleeping.

Source: my own impression after looking at Google Maps street view.

So another thing I wish we could ask the neighbor is, did this sound seem to be coming from the same direction as the sounds she would hear during the day when site prep was underway? Was this sound louder, fainter, or different in any way?

 

[Barry]

"...they are trying to cover it up and blame it on me...". Not even sure what that means really. All the agencies are involved with a cover-up of this? Cover what up, and why try to "blame" it on someone? To be sure, this case is a tragedy, but it doesn't scale up to anything beyond that. SM is missing, and LE is trying find out where she is. Implying there's a bigger truth is pretty weak without providing any idea of what it is. MOO.

 

[susiQ]

Intriguing thought “two men”
Hmmm
JMO

Yes, Hmmmmm! And here I was thinking he might throw another “guy” under the bus. Maybe he can’t, for obvious reasons. Maybe that’s why CM “reached out” to this other guy? All speculation of course. I can also see BM doing this on his own and using the other guy just to bolster the carp he was trying to sell. Time will tell!

BM made what decisions for the girls?
