There has been a lot of talk about no body convictions and a lot of talk about why the past and present DA have elected not to charge BM with the murder of his wife, (yet).
I think SM’s case presents an extra set of circumstances in addition to the fact that her body has not been recovered and that is the fact that LE may not yet be certain as to the exact day/time she disappeared. If they don’t know this, it is not possible to corroborate or debunk BM’s alibi(s). If you think about it, BM set everything up in that he put her at home in bed at 5:00 a.m., he then went to Broomfield, and provided himself with an alibi for that afternoon. He had to pinpoint that time frame.
IIRC SM’s last confirmed sighting was by Scott, the bike repair guy, on Thursday, 5\7. This is probably why LE asked for video footage between 5/8 and 5/12. They want to know what BM was doing on those days. I further think this is why LE is trying to identify anyone who was involved with SM on social media around the time of her disappearance. If they charge BM with killing SM at any time prior to 3 hours before his arrival in Broomfield on Sunday and all of a sudden someone pops up who can prove they were conversing with SM after that time, the DA’s case goes out the window. MOO
This is mostly for some newer people who’ve been trying to catch up on SM case and MG has been brought up.
I can’t post the links cuz I’m on my phone atm. See Media Thread for LS/MG “I’m not the other Woman” interview, and LS/BM “Barry Morphew responds to explosive claims” phone interview.
MG said shortly after returning from the Broomfield “job”, she received a visit from BM’s friend and one of his ‘relatives’ (henchmen), telling her she didn’t have to cooperate/turn her phone over to CBI. When she rebuffed their (BM’s) request and cooperated/handed her phone over to CBI, BM fired her in short order.
BM responded and said MG is a meth head and just mad at him cuz he fired her and won’t let her work for him anymore.
(Why do you hire meth heads in the 1st place BM??). Smdh.
MOO, BM is projecting- he is the one who is mad. I’d say he’s irate based on his tone in his phone interview with LS, that she gave her phone to CBI. Why? Because there’s a call from him on her phone prior to 5am Sunday when he claims he left the house, and his truck GPS confirms he was on the road heading to Broomfield at that time. *IF* is the case, his truck GPS alone would’ve caught him out on that lie, so I’d guess in addition to that, there’s probably even more incriminating “stuff” on MG’s phone BM didn’t want LE/CBI to find. I wonder if BM had a burner phone that he thought LE couldn’t trace and/or a separate business cell phone he used that he didn’t turn over to LE right away. If so, they would know from checking Morgan’s phone and ask whose # is this that called you at 4am on Sunday, May 10th, and she confirms it was Barry calling her from his ‘other’ phone, business cell etc.....
Who had the motive and opportunity to harm Suzanne here? BM? MG?
No brainer if you ask me.
MG said she is afraid of BM, packed up and left the state of CO. I do think she might know more/have more to share and will be an important witness at trial.
As I and others have said, the phone records will be crucial toward piecing together timeline. We won’t know until trial, but if Suzanne’s phone was powered down, never turned back on, and/or went completely dark after BM left for Broomfield, in a word -damning.
A Mother that doesn’t communicate with a single soul on of all days, Mother’s Day??
Nope.
All of the above IMHOO.

I agree with OldCop that the "beginning" of the timeline is not yet locked down at least as far as we know. I also agree with fcavanaugh that close attention is probably being given to BM's and SM's phone, online, and vehicle activity and locations.
I think LE will probably be able to tell a lot by paying close attention to whether and when SM ever has any phone or online activity when BM's phone and vehicle are NOT in the same vicinity and then comparing that timing to when oddities start to appear in SM's online activity. That is, at what point is it clearly obvious that BM began imitating SM to make it appear she was alive?
And outside of those particulars, we know from Andy and from some information others posted here months ago that LE has been in Indiana interviewing folks, likely determining more folks that need to be interviewed, analyzing the particulars of the Morphew's various financial and real estate deals, etc.
Given the oddity of the timing of the Morphew's move to Colorado (when their nest was only half empty, away from lifelong friends and family and from long-established business associates and work reputation), some peculiarities of interest in the timing of real estate transactions in both Indiana and Colorado, and the propensity of BM to throw suspicion upon his employees - who he publicly points out are drug addicts and former convicts (the kind of people BM knows LE might suspect before someone who is neither), I hope LE is also investigating to see whether there was any criminality that might have driven the Indiana to Colorado move.
In the Chad Daybell/Lori Vallow investigations, the FBI analyzed cellphone texts between Chad and his wife and were able to link the timing of an uncharacteristically chipper and long text from (author of fiction) Chad to his wife with the timing of a long visit by Lori's brother (evidenced by his cellphone location) to Chad's backyard in the vicinity of that pet cemetery. Chad's text was about seeing a raccoon running on the fence, then Chad running to get a gun and coming back and shooting the raccoon (who apparently sat around and waited while Chad got his gun), and then burying the raccoon in the pet cemetery. Oh, and Chad also casually mentioned in that long text that he decided it was time to burn some limbs and debris before the coming storms (though they rarely used their fire pit according to neighbors). The FBI matched up that info with a satellite photo of the field behind Chad's barn taken around that same time and they were able to spot the precise location where they later dug up the burned-beyond-recognition remains of Lori's teen daughter.
One can just imagine all the LE hours that went into gathering and analyzing phone and location activity, searching out that satellite photo and analyzing it, and interviewing people to ask about the pet cemetery and the fire pit usage. And before all that, LE first analyzed phone activity and interviewed various folks to determine as best they could when Lori's two kids were last physically seen by any person outside of those likely involved in their disappearance.
I personally think that even as some think this case has gone cold or is not being worked, there are folks who are busy as bees working behind the scenes.
Even so, I still hope anyone who may have some tiny tidbit that they think minor or irrelevant makes the call to turn that tip in. That tidbit may have some pertinent information that allows LE to complete the picture in making necessary connections or establishing certainty.
