Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #37

[debrat007]

I do hope we get to see a real publicity stunt in this case - specifically one involving Sheriff John slapping handcuffs on ole' BM - maybe while he's coming out of church wearing his youth medium sized t-shirt, ideally in front of LS who has the Fox 21 cameras rolling. Just sayin'. MOO.

Lol youth medium tshirt

 

[tmar]

bbm
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....

Because BM is so vain, any escape destination will have a gym, as he needs to show off these muscles.

Wonderful, if an arrest is made at the gym, so all can witness BM's demise.

 

[TxGidget]

Respectfully, my focus was on simply this, mountain lion theory DID originate with LE per AM, and that BM would rather SM be taken by a lion, as that could be a more of merciful death, as awful as it sounds.
He continues to list it more as a check list of which scenarios have been eliminated. JMO
And even I, probably one of the last holdouts for hope, believes she is dead, now.

Yes, AM cleared up that the mountain lion story originated with LE. BM was truthful about that. And the wildlife experts on PE laid out how very rare that sighting would be. Do you remember the interview where BM said that (paraphrasing) it was easier to consider the mountain lion theory, because if she were abducted, people could be doing things to her? I feel like AM relayed that comment.

 

[K9Enzo]

An advantage to Fall being here is the ground cover dying off, less obstructions while searching for both ground pounders but also any aerial technology. The window of opportunity however might be small in CO with the snow coming. IMO

 

[10ofRods]

Sorry, I'm reading backwards. Have we figured out any specifics about why a stop in messaging would alarm the friend on Saturday? Just curious if there were more info yet.

I would only be worried about a friend abruptly not responding, if the previous message were something alarming. jmo

In some conversations by text, it's a lot like a phone call. The two people are rapidly chatting back and forth about something that matters to both of them.

If it does stop abruptly, that's a concern. If the friend then calls the other friend on the phone and there's no answer, that's a concern. If the friend usually responds within minutes or an hour, and doesn't...that's a concern. If the BFF knows the marriage is not "hunky dory" and that her friend has health issues, that's a worry.

I've contacted neighbors of family members on less than that, and I have two friends who live alone (not family) for whom I would do the same. It's not that strange, especially as people get on in years.

We have had so little info in this case, and now as AM has stepped up, we actually have clarification of some of our little pieces of evidence we’ve had...
IMO, We speculated that BM made up the lion story, not sure how that ended, pretty sure it was accepted that BM initiated it, tho.
AM has now stated that LE had seen lion in the area, AM also tells us, that mountain lion was actually lesser of evils to BM, as BM told him, if it wasn’t a lion, some one else had her, and was doing something to her.

So, hard as it is, we need to cross lion off as one of BMs self imposed miss steps, IMO.
I’m gonna keep revisiting, now that we have a brother’s insight.

I have hard time keeping up, what is the 3.5 window of opportunity from AM? That’s really useful, and actually works FOR BM as much against him...
JMO, nothing he has shown us, indicates a highly organized person, anything but?!
Yet he has managed to pull this off, with this ever shrinking window of opportunity...
So what did AM use to determine the time available?

What makes you think he's disorganized?

Respectfully, my focus was on simply this, mountain lion theory DID originate with LE per AM, and that BM would rather SM be taken by a lion, as that could be a more of merciful death, as awful as it sounds.
He continues to list it more as a check list of which scenarios have been eliminated. JMO
And even I, probably one of the last holdouts for hope, believes she is dead, now.

I think Barry's theory of the mountain lion attack may have 'originated' from the sighting by LE, which at that time may have been understandable.

But the fact that he is still considering it four months later, after LE found no evidence of an animal attack, seems a bit unreasonable. His suggestion that someone SM had become close to might be responsible is interesting, though. I wonder if he was often suspicious or critical of people Suzanne associated with outside of their marriage.

I also wonder if there is any truth to the fired employee who was threatening his family, and if so, why would he leave Suzanne alone on Mother's Day?

 

[magnetic]

Ever since BM said what AM is doing is a publicity stunt, I know for certain this is not an innocent person and he is beyond despicable. What is he telling his daughters? Your uncle is only out there looking for mom for a publicity stunt? He's so disgusting I would not put it past him to say that AM planted evidence to frame him if they do find anything in their search.

Apparently I read too many mystery/thriller/ suspense novels. Currently serial killers are main themes. Writers seem to be competing for the most gruesome, grotesque methods of sadistic torture they can dream up. Many claim to be based on true stories. Some actually are.
So yes, I think a lion is not likely to prolong the agony.
It also is probably the only way BM could exact revenge, of a sort. He could track the lion and kill her.

JMO, we’ve gotten a little too cavalier with our speculation on BM being guilty. It is still possible he is guilty of being lousy husband, but not a murderer.

BBM:

I don't think anyone here is being the least bit cavalier about their suspicions regarding BM.

In fact, I think it's quite the opposite:
Everyone here is taking their suspicions regarding BM's involvement very seriously, and is examining the reasons for those suspicions quite carefully.

There are a plethora of facts that point toward BM's likely involvement in SM's disappearance.
@gitana1 cited many of them in a post several threads back.
And what we know is merely the tip of the iceberg.

LE is clearly signaling that BM is their (unnamed) suspect in the case.
Multiple search warrants executed at the house, another search involving digging up concrete on a property BM worked on, dismissal of his preposterous mountain lion theory, no BOLO alerts, LE telling AM that BM hadn't been cooperating with them, etc., all indicate where and at whom LE is looking.

BM has offered numerous inconsistent statements about the events surrounding SM's disappearance, including his own actions and movements that weekend. These statements don't just conflict with accounts given by his employees.
He also contradicts himself.
He's having a hard time keeping track of his stories.

It would take pages upon pages to outline all of the reasons that so many of us here are highly suspicious of BM not just being a terrible husband to SM, but of being responsible for her disappearance.

In fact, it's taken us 37 threads to reach this point in our ruminations.

There's nothing cavalier about 37 threads.

JMO.

Updated timeline for the days surrounding SM’s disappearance. We are limiting the dates to those put forth by LE when they requested that area residents save their video footage: May 8-12, 2020.

Friday 5/8/20

Evening, exact time unknown:
-BM works at “beach area” at Salida dig site (MG)

Saturday 5/9/20

A.M.:
-BM & MG at Salida dig site. MG states BM was acting unusual. MG is supposed to rake out beach area that BM had worked on the night before. (MG). BM picked up MG (unverified) to bring her there.

11:00 a.m.:
-BM tells MG to go home. He tells her he has to go home to make wife “happy” and take her hiking or biking. (Did BM drop off MG?)

12:30 p.m. : (conflicting information, time not verified, could be later in the day, or even earlier)
-SM is talking with BFF on a message app or FB when suddenly she stops replying.

Afternoon, exact time unknown:
-BM makes contact with JP and hires him for a Broomfield job on Sunday. According to JP, this was an in person meeting in Salida.
-MG states that BM was seen shopping around town. (Unverified)

Evening, exact time unknown:
-SM’s bff receives texts that seem “unusual” from SM
-Friends of BM receive FB friend requests from SM

11:30 p.m.:
-A neighbor of a home being built in Salida hears heavy machinery running for about a half hour. BM has been hired to do prep work for a foundation pour at this site. This is the same site where he is also prepping the “beach area”. This is the job site that was later searched by FBI teams.

Sunday 5/10/20

5:00 a.m.:
-BM allegedly leaves SM sleeping and heads to a job in Broomfield, CO approximately 3 hours from his home in Maysville. The job allegedly consists of a repair to a wall that BM had completed the previous September and that had structural problems.

A.M. Exact time unknown:
-BM checks into the HIE in Broomfield.
-According to MG, BM contacts her and asks her to get a crew together to head to Broomfield for the job. MG stated that BM sounded like he had the worst night of his life. ?

Approximately Noontime:
-BM calls JP to confirm Broomfield job.

5:46 p.m.:
-SM is reported missing by a neighbor. SM’s daughters allegedly contacted her and said they were worried because they hadn’t been able to reach their mother. Exact details are unclear, but neighbor checked the house and did not find SM but noted her car was there. According to BM in his TD interview, the neighbor then contacted him and he asked her to go back and check if her bike was there. The neighbor checked, returned home, and called BM on her landline and told him the bike was gone. BM asked her to call LE.

Approximately 6:00 p.m.:
-LE arrives at the Morphew home where they are met by the neighbor who reportedly told them that SM had not returned from a bike ride.
-LE begins a search. Dog teams from the prison and County SAR teams are called in. (CCSO)
-BM started home to Maysville. (TD)

After 6:00 exact time unknown:
-JP, MG, and a third worker arrived at the HIE in Broomfield. It is not clear if all 3 travelled together. JP and MG both report that there was an intense smell of chlorine in the room and several wet towels on the floor. JP stated that it looked like someone had laid down on the bed, on top of the bedspread. MG stated that the bed looked like it had been slept in and remade.
-BM let workers know that he had left for a family emergency and that they were on their own. Workers allegedly found some of BM’s tools in a “hotel cart”. MG stated they looked like a bunch of tools from the back of BM’s truck. Both JP and MG indicated they had neither the correct tools nor the materials to do the job.

Sometime before 9:00 p.m. :
-LE allegedly finds SM’s bike down a hill about a quarter of a mile from her home. (Never verified by LE). There is no sign of SM. The Morphew home is allegedly sealed off.
-Friend(s) of BM arrive at search area (unverified)

Approximately 9:00 p.m.:
-BM arrives home.
-Friend(s) tell BM that SM’s bike was found and that LE mishandled the scene/evidence. (BM to TD)

(At some point, either Sunday night or Monday, volunteer firefighters were told not to participate in the official searches. BM told TD in a later video that his friend tried to stop LE from mishandling the evidence, which may have been the reason that they were not allowed to participate further.)

Monday 5/11/20

Time unknown:
-Concrete foundation is poured at the Salida dig site.

A.M.:
-Search resumes after overnight break. Over 100 LE are eventually involved including LE on foot, drones, divers, aircraft, SAR, Swift Water Rescue units, and various canines.
-BM calls MG crying and tells her SM is missing and that either a mountain lion got her or she was abducted. He stated they were going up the mountain to search. He tells MG and JP to stay in Broomfield and wait for supplies to be delivered for the job.

PM.:
-AM arrives in town to help look for his sister, meets with BM and some friends, and they formulate a plan to search for SM the following day.

Tuesday 5/12/2020

A.M.:
-LE continue their search. No request for volunteers was made.
-BM, AM, and friends divide into teams to search. They were not allowed to search where LE was actively searching, but could cover area already searched. AM and BM we’re on separate teams. At one point, a member of AM’s team separated from the group. They backtracked to try to find him. He was later located back at the home where BM was staying. (On the following Thursday, 5/14/2020, a personal article belong to SM, was found about 20 yards from the trail where AM’s team was searching. Were they meant to find it? Was it placed there by the disappearing team member?)

Exact time unknown:
-MG, JP, and possibly one other person arrived back in Salida after no supplies were delivered to complete the job in Broomfield.
-MG was allegedly approached by two individuals connected to BM, (TN and GD), who told her she would not be paid for her time in Broomfield because it would look like hush, hush, money. MG also implied that she was asked not to cooperate with LE or turn over her phone.

8:00 p.m.:
-BM was observed by an employee of the Poncha Market digging in a trash can. (The market had closed at 7:00 p.m.) Upon being questioned, BM states he is looking for a bike helmet.

Shortly thereafter, BM taps on market window and when they let him in he stated that his wife was missing. When asked for a description he wrote a note on a crumbled receipt. The note said:

Baby Blue bike

helmet


Biking clothes

(No further description)


By Tuesday or Wednesday, CCSO has asked CBI and FBI for assistance.

Updated timeline was constructed based on LE info, MSM reports, and suggestions from fellow WS’ers. All additional comments/corrections are welcome. We may have additional information to plug in after the search this week.

Agreed, thanks for this !
Saving for future reference.

 

[Knox]

Does anyone think BM is watching/reading about this case, beyond maybe stalking Fox21 news? If so where?

 

[LietKynes]

It occurs to me that the Morphew's oldest daughter looks strikingly like her mother.

I don't know when the Morphew daughters actually arrived back home, but if early Sunday evening, maybe the two witnesses (if such actually exist) saw that daughter riding in a car driven by BM on Sunday evening and assumed she was SM.

Good points !
I think that's entirely plausible.
And so the 'sighting' may be false.

 

[Lyanna]

Apparently I read too many mystery/thriller/ suspense novels. Currently serial killers are main themes. Writers seem to be competing for the most gruesome, grotesque methods of sadistic torture they can dream up. Many claim to be based on true stories. Some actually are.
So yes, I think a lion is not likely to prolong the agony.

JMO, we’ve gotten a little too cavalier with our speculation on BM being guilty. It is still possible he is guilty of being lousy husband, but not a murderer.

rbbm
I am all for keeping an open mind and exploring other possibilities, but I can't say I am in agreement with you on this - he isn't even being a lousy husband at this point, he is being a lousy human, full stop. Why has he not been scouring the surrounding area for his wife of 28yrs, the mother of his children, the person who willingly chose to share herself and her life with him all this time, stuck by him through all the good times and the bad (you know, previous issues in IN - his evidently piss poor choices when it comes to employee selection, seeing though, by his own admission they are 'meth heads' or 'been locked up') , where are the searches led by him to look for this beautiful woman, where are the flyers that he has made and distributed in his local community, why has he only provided 27 secs of video, why is he not begging the general public who may know something to come forward and share what they know? Where are the media pleas from him, why is it LS, PE, AM keeping Suzanne's face in the spotlight and not BM, why wouldn't he take a lie detector, voice analysis test, why is it that people from all over the US are travelling to Colorado to look for his wife, but hey, Barry will go if he is 'asked' - why does he need to be asked? Does he not have more right than most to be there, seeing though she is the love of his life ? and WHY for the love of all that is good, would he say that the search is a Publicity Stunt? I mean WTAF?! I guess I could be way off base here, but BM's actions or inactions (which IMO are far more accurate) is very disturbing to me and each time he does bother to say something, it is nothing that would show how much he cares for, loves, misses, needs his disappeared wife, instead it is all about Bazza and how he is being victimized, how everyone is lying about him, and so on.

Yes and what I listed is nothing compared with all the additional information we’ve since received since, through interviews.

If anyone would like to add to or edit the list, let me know.

 

[enelram]

Re: 3.5 time frame

It seems the three things that could track and verify BM’s whereabouts are:

-Cell GPS
-Truck GPS
-Cameras

For a phone, the logical conclusion would be that it’s off for 3.5 hours then turned back on.

For the truck, the only scenario I can think of is BM using a different vehicle than his truck. But even that seems like it would have to be tipped off by cell GPs.

And for cameras, it would be that to go from point A to point B, it took 3.5 hours longer than it should have.

The cell phone pinging at home and then being turned off for 3.5 hours and then turned on back at home again would be my guess.

But then it seems like a non-gps vehicle would have been used. I’ve speculated about the Range Rover but the car of a third party could be an option too.

Eithrr way, based on what AM is saying it appears the 3.5 he time frame originated from the house.

I just heard about a co-ordinated camera system here in some Florida counties where the Sheriff sets up a camera command system
room using all private exterior residential cameras and commercial/store/street cameras
and has them all tied into this new system.
It's done to track crimes and criminals and the
Sheriff claims it's one of the best state of the art crime fighting systems.
As soon as an alert comes in they can plug into the cameras right in the neighborhood and follow/track the bad guys.
I saw a demonstration and it was fascinating.

 

[GordianKnot]

Yes and what I listed is nothing compared with all the additional information we’ve since received since, through interviews.

If anyone would like to add to or edit the list, let me know.

I actually do think it would be worth revisiting that list.

I'll pull up your prior post if that's okay with you and then people can add new info that's come to light since then, how does that sound?

 

[DizzyB]

Does anyone think BM is watching/reading about this case, beyond maybe stalking Fox21 news? If so where?

I do not. Some of his buddies might be, but him, I doubt it. He’s got this all worked out in his head. Everybody’s after Barry. I think he gets his info from Lauren’s calls and messages, and reacts without giving it a second thought.

 

[MsBetsy]

Ever since BM said what AM is doing is a publicity stunt, I know for certain this is not an innocent person and he is beyond despicable. What is he telling his daughters? Your uncle is only out there looking for mom for a publicity stunt? He's so disgusting I would not put it past him to say that AM planted evidence to frame him if they do find anything in their search.

A publicity stunt for what? To sell more hotdogs? Why would BM assume it's for anything other than finding Suzanne?

This is the part that intrigues me.
Why the swift response from LE?
What did they suspect and why?
Was there a history of calls to them in the past?
