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

I really, really hope they’ve split.

And she turns on him.

I wonder when will get custody of the Stardust? I hope she turned on him long ago and played a role in finding SM.

This is devastating. View attachment 596702

Iris did ask for them to search for everyone who had access to BAM iirc?

Whoops!

According to her, literally everyone was running around with BAM.

I’m beginning to think Iris wasn’t being completely truthful.

A lawyer who lies. Can you imagine?!

 

[KBlackRabbit]

Or transferred all his assets

Probably not going to fly, though.

It’s obvious he’s hiding assets. On the civil side I’m pretty sure transferred assets don’t count as transferred if it’s known you knew there could be a case against you when you started moving them around. It may also be true for criminal cases.

Suzanne Morphew died by homicide with cocktail of animal tranquilizers in her system, coroner rules

The Chaffee County coroner determined Suzanne Morphew’s death was a homicide and toxicology results found a mix of drugs in her remains.

Investigators need to focus on the people who have access to those drugs — veterinarians, wildlife officers, ranchers — rather than her client, Eytan said.

“My hope is investigators are tracking down veterinary records,” she said.

We will have to go back over this case again with what we now know and try to figure out where he put her and when.

I just thought of the one blogger or youtube guy who ran into Barry on the road near the house and Barry was wet like he had been in the water. Do you think he was checking on her? Maybe he hid her and weighed her down in the water there? Then moved her later.

She must not have been clothed when he originally put her somewhere. maybe she was in that bathing suit and he removed it, then took some bike clothing to put near her. Then when he went back to move her he thought he would be smart and put her and the clothing in that spot to show she was really biking when she was abducted, but he didn't count on LE being able to tell she wasn't wearing that clothing when she was decomposing.

Didn't Suzanne's brother say there was a missing cool box? If so, possible that Suzanne was in it before she was buried ? Lack of insect activity etc would suggest airtight/well sealed primary location?

Suzanne's maiden name was Moorman. So his middle name and half her last name.
Lee Moore.

I really think that he should have gone with Les Moore. JMO.

I'm inferring from the comments about her body that it was not in buried in the soil, but rather kept in some kind of state where full decomposition occurred to the point of skeletonization, along with bleaching of the bones as if left fully exposed to the sun.

Almost like an open crypt. But where could you do that without drawing attention of animals, carrion feeders, or people?

Yes, what are the options ? Where could sunlight be beaming down on remains but no eyes could spy? And no animals could destroy?

 

[StarryStarryNight]

Au contraire Mr. Beller.

To quote @Warwick7 BAM

LE’s very thorough search for anyone who might have purchased BAM turned up only one civilian. Your client. The case has changed and so wIll the outcome.

BAM, Warwick said, and BAM it was!

 

[katydid23]

I wonder if they live in Colorado still and maybe their dad moving to Arizona gave them enough space from him that they could begin to see some things better. Then they found Suzanne and sometime later it was announced she had BAM in her body. Well that likely gave them pause. Maybe Barry's behavior became a bit more off after that announcement and I suspect they might have known at that point that he likely did it. It's hard to argue against that kind of information. Who else would kill her with BAM?

"Who else would kill her with BAM?"

Barry probably told them he was framed.

Barry's phone was turned off at 4:32am on may 10th and not turned on again until 5:37am and he was near Johnson Village, Co. That is 1 hour and 5 minutes and the time to drive from his house to Johnson Village is roughly 30-32 minutes. So he had around 30 minutes he could have deviated from the path. I recall from the first AA, this is the time he went left and tossed the bike helmet and turned around so it's possible he also dumped her somewhere then also. I don't recall how long it would take to go left and turn around, but if he didn't dump her at that point, he could have went off his driving route somewhere else between turning around and hitting Johnson Village area.

I just don't think he would have put here anywhere close to where he dumped her helmet. I think they scoured that area immediately.

Maybe he stashed her somewhere dry temporarily then put her somewhere later?

Wonderful to hear that BM is back behind bars with a cash bail! Hope the charge sticks this time. I hope his girls will realize that he is the reason their mom is no longer alive.

I've been wondering about this.

If airtight and well sealed, this excludes a rented public storage unit. Public storage units usually are not temp controlled, at least the ones that I've seen are not. I could be wrong, obviously. however, I don't think Barry would spend money on such a thing; we know he's a bit of a tightwad.

Therefore, because he was running a "deer farm", he might have access to temperature-regulated storage units. Units usually used for storing deer meat. Suzanne was so tiny; she would easily have fit into a cooler, which could easily be placed in such a storage unit.

The above makes me ill thinking about it, but it makes sense, IMO.

Just my musings.

Yes, what are the options ? Where could sunlight be beaming down on remains but no eyes could spy? And no animals could destroy?

1) no air access 2) bright light. What comes to mind is a tanning salon room, with the body inside and the door locked to prevent oxygen from getting inside? Or just locked inside a tanning bed?

 

[Odeto BJ]

GJ affidavit mentions, as portion of the reasoning behind concluding that the remains were not at the site where they were eventually found, for an extended period of time:
....No hair mass.....

LE might not have to disclose it in the affidavit, but I would guess that a pretty intensive chemical analysis has been done on the remains and it would not surprise me if they found traces and indicators for multiple chemicals.

Hmmm,,,,,,

During the intervening period, if the remains were contained in something like a plastic drum or a big cooler, with some of those chemicals a landscaper or constructor would employ or otherwise could access, the effects might include obfuscation of the essences sensed by recovery dogs; and decay of hair. Some household chemicals will decay hair and bleach bone and even dessicate flesh but I would not want to even guess at a single compound or mixture that could do all three without it involving some segregation of areas of the body and possibly even progressive steps.

All speculative of course.

 

[Odeto BJ]

I really think that he should have gone with Les Moore. JMO.

As in the famous epitaph from Boot Hill in Tombstone?
"Here lies Lester Moore, four slugs from a .44, no Les, no more"

 

[Sarahlou]

Finally! This was good news to wake up and see.

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.
