Actually, if you do a property search at the Chaffee County Central appraisal district site all the specifics of the property are there including names of all the people who have owned the land. In 2008, a couple sold the property to another couple. In 2015, the property was sold to a trust in a woman’s name. In 2018, it was sold to the Morphews. Pretty straightforward.I think I need a drink to process all of that. Wow. What on earth?
I wish I could explain it to you but I am stuck on the house being sold in Sept 2015 and then bought again by B and S M.
Psychological tactic IMO. It can be quite powerful to talk directly to a missing loved one, even if they are not the ones the message is intended for. I'm not sure if he was advised to phrase it this way, but it's very common in missing persons cases
Look at the Tax Assessor's database for a more complete story.

Search on last name of the owner.
You get the history of the site.
Not sure how they had a building permit in 2008 but maybe they were part of the trust that owned it. One thing to consider is that the entire building permit history of that house is not available online. Maybe the county pulled it because people were being nosy, or someone typod something. If you look at any other address, you see every permit that was pulled and when it passed inspection - electrical, framing, etc. For comparison, on the permit search just enter PUMA PATH in the address field, nothing else, and you get a nearby house and you can see all of the permits.
A lot of paper transactions. Have to wonder why?I think I need a drink to process all of that. Wow. What on earth?

I know! I am totally lost with it all, too complicated for me to comprehend.A lot of paper transactions. Have to wonder why?
I'm very familiar with construction and real estate. I would need to see a bit more to determine what happened.I know! I am totally lost with it all, too complicated for me to comprehend.
TAX INFORMATION MODULEThis is so WEIRD...
It appears they bought the Colorado land/property in July 2008 for 325k. Per Dave’s find, they started building the following month. It was first listed for sale in 5/2011 for 1.2m. The listing was removed 10/2012 after a year and 5 months without being sold.
The listing was removed again in Dec 2013, because they changed realtors at this time. In 1/2014 new realtor listed for 1.1m. By May 2014, they reduced price to 998k.
In 2/2015 the listing was once again removed. Then listed again in April 2015 for same price. In Aug 2015 the listing was removed again.
The house SOLD in Sept 2015 for 1.1m.
The house was listed AGAIN in Dec 2017 for 1.5m with yet another realtor- pending sale Jan 31 2018 - and Sold to BM/SM April 2018.
I’m wondering if they bought their own house to give it more value? Surely they didn’t sell it for 1.1m and then turn around two years later and buy it back for 1.575m ...
Maybe one of y’all can explain this?

- The bare property sold in 2008 (not to Morphews).
- Sold as improved in 2015 (not to Morphews),
- Sold to Morphews in April 2018.

The cost of living, particularly land and homes, is much cheaper in Indiana than in Colorado.yes - I totally get that.
It just seemed so odd that they halved the size of the home and the size of the land, but doubled the cost!
The property tax site always shows the current owner regardless of the tax year you look up. If you look up other properties in Chaffee County that have sold in the last year and look up their tax history for previous years it will always show the current owner, not the prior owner. The site only shows tax dollar and allocation history, not owner history, I believe.@KnoxGirl103
you say in 2008 and 2015 it was sold, but not to the Morphews.
But they have paid property taxes on it every year since 2008. I am getting confused!
Guys... The previous owners (before 2018) are public record. The house was sold to the Morphews in 2018. They bought it under their real names, as joint tenants, personally. No trust, no LLC, just BM&SM. The ONLY THING that proves ownership is the deed.
Real property is unique because things attach to it- permits, property tax, easements, covenants. They “travel with the land.” Transfer to the new owners. Databases will cite the parcel number or address and not create new records at every sale. The important thing is that records stay with the land so new owners fully understand (and can prove!) what rights and permits and easements their land has.
This lists the sales and owners:
Beacon - Chaffee County, CO - Report: R368531400097
It's dated from May 21, so mostly "old" news and previously stated info. I don't remember reading this statement from BM's uncle though. BBMCan anyone see if this article is interesting? I can't see it due to living in europe.
