Found Deceased CO - BARRY ARRESTED AGAIN - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o prejudice* *found in 2023* #116

Someone posted this zoomed view of the mugshot. Chilling.

Dude, him an Brian Albert look a lot alike in these limited pixels'.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Hmm. I didn’t catch that. So Barry Lee Morphew had an alias of Lee Moore?
Hiding something from your past Barry? Maybe a murder?

I am curious too.

I suspect he used the variation of his real name as his alias, to prevent anyone from finding out who he really is, after he moved to AZ. If you meet a guy & later google "Lee Moore from Indiana", you're going to get a completely different guy than if you google "Barry Morphew ".

I think it was as simple as that.

I hope Barry spent an uncomfortable night locked up, knowing that "locked up" is how every single day of the rest of his life will be spent.

Jmo.

Ita.
All he had to do... was to walk away from a marriage he'd already 'left' who knows how long ago, and be civilized about it.
What a total loser.
Imo.

I still don’t think BM was cheating, or had in the past. Any physical or emotional distance was probably him doing his own thing, not being considerate of her needs and truly liking to work and be away from the house . Her accusing him is kind of normal where the accusing spouse is the one involved in an emotionally charged affair. It’s a way to shift blame, manage guilt, and create emotional distance while continuing the affair. BM’s behavior stayed tightly controlled around his marriage, family image, and daily routine. That imbalance of control, her leaving, rejection and humiliation became the psychological driver that led to him killing her….. I think. imo

Oh my. He cheated on her in Indiana. He cheated with SD before he killed Suzanne. LE knows he was on dating websites while marries. They just haven’t had anyone speak up..yet.

You give him a lot of credit for a guy who killed his wife. He didn’t kill her over some affair. He couldn’t control her thoughts and emotions anymore. Oh and don’t forget he was physically abusive!

I can't get past the chirpy cheerleader reading the extradition order to him. She sounds like she's leading a pep rally.

"Good evening! Welcome to Maricopa County Jail, Mr. Morphew! Do you know why we're here today? Looks like Colorado wants you back for charges related to...let's see here...murder!"

In comparison, Barry sounds rather subdued. Resigned, even.

Welcome to the rest of your miserable existence.

Hi sweetie! How are you today? Looks like our friends in Colorado would like for you to come back for a little legal matter. Let’s see, what is it? Oh, it’s a homicide. You can decide today to stay in our little jail and wait for them to come give you a free ride, or if you have 3 million in your pocket, you can go free today, but only if you pinkie promise to come back here on June 30. Otherwise, Maricopa County gets to keep the 3 million.

I don’t have 3 million, I gave all my money to a woman named Iris.

No, unless it changed recently, he only owned the single trailer.

It really is a funky little trailer park. I felt too conspicuous to take pics in it so all I personally took are the ones from the Circle K it is behind.

He really was in very close walking distance to all his favorite haunts where he was trying to meet women.

I’m so curious about his new persona/lifestyle. Was he living out some biker dude fantasy? Did he even own/ride a motorcycle?

I’m so thrilled he was finally arrested again. I immediately did a fist pump in the air while yelling “Yes! Yes! Yes!!!” May justice be swift for Suzanne and her loved ones.

A few other people in the thread have pointed out that "bleached" maybe means using actual bleach (or similar) vs. "bleached" (by the sun).

I'm glad they posited that as I was also thinking of bleached by the sun/open exposure. To me, some form of chemical to bleach/destroy tissue makes more sense with the facts that we do know.

Jmo.

Yes.
The indictment just says the bones were bleached, not necessarily by the sun, but like you, that was the first thing I thought of.
Chemically bleaching makes sense.

I think it likely he cheated on SM. Remember his phone searches for "Cute Girls in Salida" as well as some even sketchier sites (rhymes with corn)? SM's claims that he returned from being out with his zipper down and I suppose it is possible he was pleasuring himself while enjoying those websites, but I believe he likely enjoyed himself with others. The guy - who is all about appearances rather than substance - is vain and thinks he is irresistible. Remember the gym push-up contest, the veneers, what look like hair plugs, and the too-tight t-shirts to look more muscular than he is? And also, remember that he felt up Suzanne's friend?

He cheated at work and likely at taxes (that poorly built wall, poorly built again, and again and the hiring as "subcontractors" of people he knew were using drugs and who he likely paid cash). He cheated at voting (voting SM's ballot for US president after she died). And the reports from Indiana that he cheated the guys who bought his landscaping business from him - overstating revenues they could expect. He used tranquilizers to put deer temporarily down so he could take the antlers (sincerely doubt that is acceptable practice).

BM likely thought that cheating was not just perfectly acceptable but an indicator of how wise he was to the ways of the world and the only concern was avoiding being caught doing so.

Yes, Very irritating

Wonder how long it will take for Colorado to pick him up? He was very quiet, not at all arrogant or defiant. I think he knows he won’t walk away this time.

Sometime early this week I imagine.

Just quietly seething.

Also…no shoes? No underwear? And lord help us if what they are describing as a light patterned balaclava (that I think is a running buff) actually *is* a balaclava? Yup, he had no clue.

IRL he abused and used her, and did not see her as an autonomous person. He remembered her sweatshirt because she wore it often, but actual running gear?I get the feeling it’s like… Why would he, such a superior being, ever pay attention enough to lowly her to even notice? Like he’s so deep into narcissism, he couldn’t even pick out the clothes she’d wear to cycle in because he didn’t even see her as a person, just a bank.

Actually... he discarded her biking clothes. And destroyed them before he moved her.

IMO she was in her biking clothes when he killed her.

She started her day in her Crest Butte sweatshirt. Maybe he grabbed it off the floor and took it so it wouldn't look out of place wherever she left it.

He really didn't know her well enough to get any details right.

Sad.

Break down Suzanne’s body being moved, what are your thoughts on that?

 

[10ofRods]

Link to the assessor's showing he owned it.

Maricopa County Assessor's Office

mcassessor.maricopa.gov

That shows he owned a mobile home, not that he owned the mobile home park where it was parked. I imagine that's how Daily Mail got the idea he owned the whole park, though. I think it's actually an RV that was parked on a rented spot in that mobile home park.

There appear to be three or four bars quite close by. Interesting that at least one is a "biker bar." I have to wonder about Barry's income stream.

Of interest: the address he gave the assessor for the location of the RV is a gas station near the park. The billing address is back in Indiana. It's not the old family home, but a decent looking house not far from where they used to live.

I always suspected she was in her bathing suit still? She didn’t have time to change, was still on the patio talking to Jeff when he got home. But I can’t remember what was said to be found in the closet.
