.UPDATE: MCSO says that Morphew was driving near the town Civic Center (which holds the Gilbert Police Dept. and other town offices) and was pulled over. We have reached back out to DPS to learn more about that traffic stop. We've been told he will have an initial appearance at 11

Did they initially pull him over on the pretext of a traffic violation?
 
Good morning, so I'm jumping to this case fresh-off from the Karen Read victory! I know very little about this case - is there a good book/podcast/tv show that can lay some groundwork for me about the basic facts in this case? With four kids and a full-time job I just do not have time to read through all the posts here at WS.... Thank you in advance!
Would you have time to go to the first thread, May 2020, and at least read that? You could see the very first early posts. You would enjoy the background. It would tell you a lot. Then you could catch up in time. I know of no books and i have been here since day 1. The television segments don’t tell the truth, as far as I’m concerned. Others might have ideas.

Maybe read the first probable cause. And the summaries of the first hearing days.

Thank you - yes I will try to go back to the very beginning thread. Given the fact that he was just arrested means I will have plenty of time to catch up before the actual trial happens...
 
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.
 
Give him his due - he thought he was being really thorough.... making sure the chemo port was there, dressing her bones (this is turning my stomach) in the clothing that would back up his story but he's just not clever enough to get it right. If he was going to move her at all, why not take a vacation to California or NYC or somewhere and leave poor Suzanne there? Or why'd he even move her at all - he'd got away with it so far. I bet he's sick that he chose someone else's hiding place. Lazy and obvious?
Exactly! Without the body, he did get away with the murder, so why did he want the body found? Did his lawyer suggest that the discovery of her body would strengthen his wrongful arrest lawsuit? Did he imagine that her body was worth millions?

He made sure that she was found near their house with her clothes and chemo port - a staged death scene to ensure that one interpretation is that she was abducted and dumped.

He must have assumed that evidence of BAM would be in soft tissue and hair, never expecting that metabolized BAM would be in her bone marrow.

Also, the first post of this thread ( and every thread ) has helpful links.
There’s a media thread where we don’t discuss, just articles are posted.

I totally agree.

lol
That could be a Texas thing.
Starfires. I do it still sometimes.
 
The smartest thing he did was conceal her well early on. The dumbest thing he did was move her after that. He micromanaged too many steps for too long. Every time you handle, move, or stage remains, you open up a new opportunity for forensic failure. His long-term control actually gave the case more angles to break.

I always thought whatever went down that weekend escalated quickly, she was leaving, the affair came out, emotions boiled over, and he kills her. This evidence tells a different story, he planned to kill her, he loathed her.

Sadly, I think her end was absolutely horrifying and she had more awareness than we want to believe. She knew he was killing her. imo
I have said from the beginning he planned the killing. Didn’t plan it well but it was premeditated for a long time. But I believe he decided to kill her before they left Indiana. I do not think he killed her over the affair. He killed her because he had lost control over her long before and he knew it.

He figured if he could get her to move to Colorado and isolate her in he mountains he could kill her then and inherit all the money for himself. No family or friends to check on her and daughters would fall for it. After all, he was the grieving narcissistic dad and husband. He makes my blood boil.

I have to wonder if he played SD and if she assisted in any way.

I think his co-workers knew in their hearts he killed her even though they had no proof, especially the one who moved far away. I forgot her name. I am sure she kept in very close touch with the sheriff’s office there. You know she has to be thrilled he has been arrested.

I thought the same. Do they train them to sound like that? Does it give the criminals a false sense of security?

I just cannot fathom why he took the risk of burying her somewhere so near a road where someone could have seen him.
I cannot make up my mind whether he expected her to be discovered .
