Search for missing mom Suzanne Morphew in Colorado expected to draw hundreds of volunteers | Fox News

Hopefully just a Faux pas in the above story, but you have to wonder where these things come from.......
The day Morphew disappeared, the Morphews' daughters were on a camping trip. Morphew's friends called one of her neighbors when they couldn't reach her. That neighbor called the police to report her missing.

Morphews Friends???? Leads me back to the possibility that it was the friend she was texting with.

ETA...The story of the neighbors involvement has always been murky. We only have Barry's story. But it's most likely just careless reporting.

 

[Moonchime]

yes, I’ll find that.

It might have been from PE’s Monday choir practice.

It was. Andy Moorman said this during PE's Monday night choir practice program.

This is just an aggregation of previous reporting. I’m positive it meant to read “daughters,” instead of “friends.”

Several threads ago, I stated that I thought BM may have hidden SM’s body somewhere between Johnson Village and Antero Junction off 285 between Maysville and Broomfield.
Johnson Village is approximately 28 miles from Maysville.
Antero Junction is approximately 41 miles from Maysville. BM would pass 2 gas stations as he made the right turn on 285 at Johnson Village. He would not pass another gas station until he reached Fairplay another 22 miles up the road from Antero Junction.
Did LE pick up video footage of BM traversing this area? How long did it take for BM to travel between these locations? Did vehicular or cell data show any stops along this road?
This stretch of road is very rugged and rural and has numerous county roads leading deep into the wilderness.
There is also the large Antero Reservoir just past Antero Junction on the way to Fairplay.
If digital data shows that BM took the appropriate time to travel through this area, perhaps it can be ruled out as a possible disposal area. If SM’s body was disposed of closer to Maysville then it is still possible important evidence could have been hidden here.
It will be interesting to see how dispersed the various search teams will be.

I think the 285 there is too heavily traveled, you would have to turn off 285. Something like here:

38°51'00.3"N 106°02'34.7"W
38°51'18.9"N 106°01'45.8"W


makes a lot of sense.

Personally I would dig up Barry's entire yard CO - CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #32

Good point !
What do the rest of you here at WS think ?
And if LE found some shreds or broken pieces of cooler, I'll bet they've kept it under wraps.
Just like the other evidence they may have found.

I think her life has been taken, and that hunting skills and knowledge were used to dismember the body, human flesh/muscle can look like animal meat/carcass (according to Dr Richard Shepherd - Forensic Pathologist) this was transported in the cooler - as to the pieces of flesh/muscle - I believe this may have been scattered into the wild as there are carnivorous animals around and would soon be devoured, and right now I feel disgusting and an awful human being for sharing my speculation - I am truly sorry for how horrible this theory is.

SPECULATION ONLY again I am so sorry

 

[Feistyomi]

Yes it is. One would think BM would have organized a search like this along with SM’s family right from the start, or at least a month out.

I don’t care what kind of family dynamics were in play, I would welcome her family and anyone else willing to help me bring my wife home!!

Barry, being the self proclaimed Christian he is, should put any differences aside if it meant finding his wife- IMO.

I just continue to be baffled by his actions.
MOO

MOO, Yes, the only explanation for this behavior, is if he knows she is dead, has some insight into who did this, and knows that her body is well hidden; Searching is useless, especially of this type. while this sounds like pointing finger at BM, it’s not.
There remain other options, just not as obvious as the SO type event. IMO

Not as easy to meet probable cause w/o the body, much more time consuming.

If indeed, there are 2 people who saw SM, on Sunday, that does narrow timeline significantly, with regards to BMs ability to switch vehicles, dig and bury, etc.

IMO, this is a statement by BM, that could easily be refuted by LE, so I’m gonna speculate as long as its viable.

At the very least, it indicates a partner, which opens up all sorts of time frames, alibis, electronics, etc.

 

[Brubon]

No, I believe he's too proud for that, but he would dump his daughters and run. This is my own opinion, But I feel that's exactly what he would do.

Since the beginning of this sad case my fear has been BM running off to hide in a foreign country.

With a flagged passport, can LE detain him at the border for questioning?

I feel the moment BM finds out SM has been located, he will try to run.

He is all that matters in his self-centered world (IMO.)

He has no regard for the feelings of his daughters or even his own his mother (IMO.)

I do hope Suzanne is found and an arrest quickly follows.

MOO

I don’t doubt that BM had those skills, but I do doubt he did anything like that.

Those coolers used for game animals are large, and likely could have easily held Suzanne’s body without any additional steps taken (dismemberment).

That sort of thing is messy, time consuming, and tends to leave tons of evidence behind.

I’m not ruling it out though.

 

[enelram]

Does anyone here know if any 'professionally trained Search and Rescue' groups are participating in AM's search?
Or are they all novice volunteers?
Did Texas Equisearch agree to come?
I'm just curious as to the caliber of searchers going out on Wednesday.

 

[Knox]

Andy and his Army are going to find you Suzanne!

Would be messy no doubt - I figured it was done outside and the soil that had DNA etc. was mixed with soil/sand elsewhere - I thought instead of him burying something in the riverside jobsite he may have been removing soil/sand - the time it would take - I have no idea and imagine it would be time-consuming - but BM is a big guy and she was only small - I may have a far too overactive imagination

Well, he'd have to fly. The border crossings for land passage for Americans going to Canada or Mexico are still closed.

The CCSD press release on 9/11 says their SAR units will be on hand to assist.


September 24, 2020 search for Suzanne Morphew - Chaffee County Sheriff
We will be staffing our command post with liaison personnel to assist Moorman search members. Our SAR units will be on hand to assist with Moorman search team accountability and other search team coordination issues. Our crime scene team will be available to document and collect any evidence if found. We will have both Chaffee County and CBI case Agents on hand in this endeavor as well.
As with any major undertaking it takes many different resources to complete a task and we
once again appreciate the Moorman Search effort and its many volunteers.

Bleach smell.

Personally, I think Barry, the big bad game hunter, would have been barfing all over the place. Then again, maybe that's part of what the bleach was about.....

I’m not the least bit worried about this. I’m sure he’s being watched, and they’d have a team on him before he got word of Suzanne’s body being found.

If he books a flight, I imagine they’d know.

He’s very recognizable, and I don’t think he’d manage to hide very long if the worst somehow did happen.

 

[foxbluff]

Do our wonderful WSers, who have volunteered for THE search, know who the other WS searchers are? If so, are they in contact with one another?

That's what the guys at immigration are looking at when they take your passport for a few seconds. But in reality, there are not a lot of places for him to go right now, some countries just aren't letting Americans in, and others require a monitored 14 day quarantine upon entrance. Some aren't letting anyone in but their own citizens, or green card holders, and even then require a monitored quarantine, meaning you have to check in every day electronically or be seen by local health care workers who actually go to your quarantine hotel or home to make sure you are there. I think Americans trying to run away to foreign countries right now would be easier to find than in any other recent era. JMO.

That and lately I have really liked the fact those automatic FB friend messages went out.

That is huge to me and I suspect LE is all over that. They will determine exactly when and under what circumstances FB automatically sends those types of messages. Its something that can be proven once LE knows the mechanics of how they get generated and that should provide LE some valuable information about whose phone would do that and the exact time it was done.

It may only be another thing to add to the circumstantial evidence but boy oh boy, that is a huge one to me. Afterall, he has lived with SM for years and just now those automatic friend requests or whatever they were go out? Something sure aint right about that.
JMO

It also gives me solice knowing that Facebook will be able to provide the IP address for any log in/activity from SM’s profile. That will be easy to match against BM’s phone’s IP address and show a time stamp for when and how many times he accessed her profile on his device(s).

I think her life has been taken, and that hunting skills and knowledge were used to dismember the body, human flesh/muscle can look like animal meat/carcass (according to Dr Richard Shepherd - Forensic Pathologist) this was transported in the cooler - as to the pieces of flesh/muscle - I believe this may have been scattered into the wild as there are carnivorous animals around and would soon be devoured, and right now I feel disgusting and an awful human being for sharing my speculation - I am truly sorry for how horrible this theory is.

I had a similar thought. The main thing that pulled me to such a dark outcome is that the more I hear BM speak, the more I realize just how evil he really is.

He's been adamant in restricting use of his image since after his 27-second video plea for SM's return. Wondering if he's contemplated tickets to a somewhere....
