I mean, you’d expect a premeditated crime to have an alibi already established by a perpetrator. This just looks completely reactionary to me.
The timing of his trip to the Denver area seems incredibly bizarre, and that was before we heard about this latest account. If 5am on Mother’s Day sounds weird, then a Saturday trip strikes me as doubly odd.
Absolutely, MassGuy.
While LE is no doubt building a strong homicide case re BM, these latest revelations about his hotel room reeking of chlorine, with wet towels on the floor, and the fact that he left personal mail (insurance-related) in the hotel, leave me wondering how long it might be before he is arrested.
Hotel CCTV may be able to confirm whether or not BM arrived at the hotel with a receptacle of some sort (e.g. suitcase, toolbox) large enough to contain a human body. The fact that the hotel confirmed they don't use chlorine for cleaning purposes suggests that BM took chlorine/bleach with him to his hotel room, to clean the room.
The colleague who BM summoned to see him in Denver (about urgent work) arrived at BM's hotel room, subsequently reported the strong smell of chlorine and wet towels on the floor to LE. If BM dismembered SM in that hotel room, her body parts will more likely have been disposed of in that region (Broomfield, Denver). The wet towels all over the floor (as described by BM's work colleague) were likely to do with the clean-up operation.
SM's brother is currently working with "Profiling Evil" to conduct a huge land and water search later this month, radiating out from the Morphew family home. It appears increasingly likely that Suzanne's body (in whatever form) will be hundreds of miles away from there. I am hoping that LE is in a position to advance the case prior to that search date. While I understand that Suzanne's brother wants to do all he can - and more - the location of SM's body has a bearing on that. Hundreds of people may end up searching in the wrong geographical location.
BM will be kicking himself for having left his mail in the hotel bedroom. It would not surprise me to find that the insurance letters relate to people as well as property. It is my opinion that these will have a bearing on BM's reason for murdering his wife.
I'm not going to discuss the daughters here; it is not allowed, and rightly so. But for those people who have wondered why they haven't spoken out, please think about this.
Imagine being consumed with grief at not knowing where your mum is, while also being aware of the possibility that she has come to harm inflicted by someone you are very close to.
The daughters are the most tragic of all the victims (SM excepted) in this case. They will know that they have already "lost" one parent, and are likely to lose their remaining parent too. They will, in effect, be rendered orphans by this tragedy. It is little wonder that they might feel conflicted and torn apart by any remaining loyalty they still feel towards their father.
They deserve our heartfelt sympathy, compassion, and support, not questions relating to their silence. Their lives are in the process of being changed irrevocably.
