Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #34

[max99]

Judging from what PE had to say a few days ago, I think the opposite is going to be true. Not only did Barry not ask her to do this, but he will be enraged that she did.

I suspect that she’s going to be the next one thrown under the bus, joining the drug addict who ruined the wall, and JP with his prison time.

This is going to be baaaaaaadddd for Barry.

I think I'm a tad jaded but I wonder if this isn't another orchestrated effort of story telling by both BM and MG to deflect suspicions of Barry's involvement...meaning, no affair, no motive for killing wife aka "love of my life".

IN THE WORDS OF SHERIFF SPEZZE:

Oct 19, 2018

What is the most important aspect of the job of a county sheriff?

Overall public safety of our county is the responsibility of the county sheriff as well as ensuring the services we deliver to our entire county meet the expectations of our residents and visitors as well.

The sheriff also has the responsibility to ensure that decisions that are made protect the county from scrutiny and liability.

The sheriff has the responsibility to put key people in command positions so our day-to-day operations meet the needs of the public as well as ensuring that our staff is safe in doing their jobs day to day.

Another key responsibility is the fact that the sheriff recruits the best people for all positions in the county.

In our current economic condition in the county the sheriff has to find ways to recruit, train and retain the very best employees because they are truly the ambassadors of the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office and Chaffee County.

What will your policy be in releasing information to the public?

I have consistently released all information to the media and public that is legal to release and does not jeopardize an open and ongoing investigation.

The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office has a media policy for its employees that encourages them to be open with the public and media when they can safely address questions asked of them.

I’m okay with them waiting a little longer and building their case, hopefully finding Suzanne. I just want Barry to know his goose is cooked.

It certainly is !!!

 

[Summit1964]

Lol
I’m so old it was DDU’s
Denver drive ups

Oh...that’s good, I may have to resurrect that one, LOL! We also have a skiing-specific slur “Gapers” for out-of-towners who can’t ski well.

 

[MsBetsy]

I expect M to back up BM (and all his tall tales about that weekend) in this interview. She might be referring to JP when she says she never wants to see him again if she's jumping in on BM'S character assassination of him.

I think BM probably encouraged her to do the interview with his new pal, Lauren. I sincerely hope I am wrong!!

I doubt Barry would have encouraged her to do an interview. He has to know that whatever it is she's going to reveal is not going to be good. I just wonder if he already knows what she knows. There must be mistakes made that he wasn't aware of. Imo

 

[Puzzles8]

I'm actually not thinking he's on camera bringing tools into the motel.

I think he may be on video lugging a large plastic tote or something like that into the hotel.

He would have hidden any items that needed cleaning, along with the chlorinated product he used to clean them.

Saying he brought his tools with him to the hotel may be a way of baking in a plausible explanation for him being captured bringing a bulky container with him into the building.

JMO.

This was the post I was trying to reply to in my post # 256.


Agree, BM feels the need to pre-splain anything that might have been caught on hotel's video.

I also wonder if in Barry's head, he might have a slightly different definition of the "tools" in question. The guy on his crew was looking for tools and equipment needed to repair "a faulty wall". Perhaps the "tools" that Barry had brought along had been used for a completely different purpose. They would be of no help in repairing a wall....

Do we even know if there was an actual faulty wall in need of repair? Perhaps fits in the same category as the much maligned mountain lion.

I'm anxious to hear tonight's interview.

Bury, Bury, Bury....

Bury, Barry, Bury!!

I wonder how he will spin this on Morgan?

Possibly, “Oh, she wanted me, but I had to pass because of the Christian, married man that I am”

I clicked on the video link and GASPED

The short video clip was interesting but the coworker could have been talking about JP, you never know and don't want to jump to conclusions.

 

[Brubon]

Didn't JP say he "ran into" BM in town Saturday afternoon?

Didn't JP say he "ran into" BM in town Saturday afternoon?

Wal-Mart is someplace we know BM has visited with his mom ( per TD.)
Maybe he bumped into JP while bleach shopping on Saturday afternoon. Kill two birds with one stone...hire a felon to help fill in the alibi details and buy the chemical which FAILS TO DESTROY DNA.
Go LE, Go! You've got this.
MOO

 

[Puzzles8]

In the last week, I have realized I have not been able to keep up. I missed the last of thread # 34 and I clearly have not caught up past page 2 of this thread. I'm trying though!

Football is on tonight though, so that could pose a problem.

 

[Moonchime]

Too late, he’s already spent it on a dirt bike.

Thanks so much for the laugh! The trouble is, you're probably correct.

Calling All Car Fans

Pins & needles ... likely going to include a lot of how traumatized they have been by the folks on social media. MORGAN? Selfie with JP in an orange safety vest in the back seat

Knox pointed out JP is wearing safety vest.

Sooooo - Morgan is in front passenger seat & JP is behind driver seat, going to a job site or returning home? Is the little neon green triangular shape w black line at shoulder height of driver's seat part of a safety vest too? Or a thing attached to that seat?

Whose/what vehicle are they in? Not a pick up truck, imo. A Range Rover? Or??? I'm just curious; it may not have any significance.

CHAFFEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Salida, Colorado

PRESS RELEASE

September 10, 2020

Today marks the 4 month anniversary when Suzanne Morphew was reported missing.

Since that initial report the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office has joined forces with CBI, FBI and the 11th Judicial District in an intensive investigation to find Suzanne Morphew.

In this investigation resources were called in to assist with numerous searches. These resources have included Chaffee SAR South and North, The Colorado Department of Corrections S.O.R.T Team, the CBI Crime Scene Investigation Team, FBI Evidence Response Team, Chaffee County Combined Tactical Team, Salida Fire Department Swift Water Rescue Team, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Salida Police Department, Buena Vista Police Department, Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office Dive Rescue Team, Colorado State Patrol, El Paso County SAR Dog Team, Fremont County SAR Dog Team, Reach Air Medical Service, FBI Aviation Support Team, Necro Search International, Elizabeth Police Dog Team, Colorado Department of Corrections East Canon Tracking Team and the SAR Board of Colorado, which includes numerous SAR teams from around the state.

These above resources have contributed to numerous foot searches, Air Aviation searches and mapping, underwater imaging, dive team searches, several search dogs which includes air scent, tracking and HR Dogs. We have used numerous Drones for searches in several different areas.

We continue to follow leads and tips as well as develop information and have not limited our search areas to one particular location. With this we are planning another law enforcement search in the near future.

Our investigation team continues to work closely with one another and is committed 100% to this endeavor.

We continue to field tips and follow up on all information through our dedicated tip line as well as by way of interviews.

Our investigation team has made it a priority to remind the public of Suzanne and her disappearance and with todays 4 month anniversary we are once again contacting the public. We are handing out flyers with Suzanne’s picture and information in hopes of more public awareness.

Our sole purpose is to either find Suzanne or determine the cause of her disappearance.

Our investigative team would like nothing more than to disseminate information to the public in regards to our progress in this process however in any open investigation we cannot divulge any information as it puts the integrity of the investigation at risk.

With this we ask the public to focus on Suzanne Morphew and encourage once again anyone who has information to please call our dedicated tip line at 719-312-7530.

Thanks You

John A. Spezze

Chaffee County Sheriff

Wow that IS a lot of resources! Necro Search International? Weren’t they used in the Natalie Holloway search? They are experts at recognizing clandestine graves. I wish we knew where they searched!

They are planning another “law enforcement” search in the near future? Really? Before AM’s or with AM I wonder.

It sure seems as though CCSO has responded directly to Lauren’s report!

Also I have to call out myself now because I was joking about people pronouncing Sheriff Spezze’s name incorrectly and I just realized I’ve been spelling it wrong.

 

[Deleted member 267005]

Someone had a very busy weekend. ^^^

Not making light of what may have happened.

Speculation : I seriously want to hurl at the implications of horrifying betrayal.
What did Suzanne's eyes see for the last time ?
Ugh.
Imo.

IMO, desafortunadamente, I believe the last thing she saw were two angry blue rage fuelled eyes staring at her and attempting to kill her. Two blue angry, rage-fuelled- eyes.

 

[DetectiveFoyleWannabe]

I truly hope that wasn’t clickbait, and she is actually talking about BM!

oh yeah, maybe she was talking about JP or someone else? Didn't even think about that. Can't wait to see this.

 

[MsBetsy]

I wonder how he will spin this on Morgan?

Possibly, “Oh, she wanted me, but I had to pass because of the Christian, married man that I am”

Nobody would believe him. If anything, he will probably attack her character like he did with JP. Imo

 

[Wendyb1063]

This is huge, and incredibly encouraging. Every time they are involved in a case, I bring up the book “No Stone Unturned: The Story of NecroSearch International,” by author Steve Jackson.

RSBM, and hope I didn't miss this as I play "catch-up" in this active thread: Is this the first time in a CCSO press release where they specifically mention NecroSearch is involved?
