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

Thank you for finding this, it makes that bullet found beside the bed even more suspect.

Barry never envisioned how big or detailed this investigation would become. I really think he thought the bike being found in that ravine would be the end of it. He could spin his story and play the poor widowed victim. I’ll never forget that video, I knew the minute I watched he was guilty!!

Why is he shaking his head no the entire time?

This reminds me of that movie “What Lies Beneath” Husband Harrison Ford is a Dr who shoots his wife played by Michelle Pfifer with a tranquilizer that paralyzes her whole body, shes awake in a bath tub that’s slowly filling up with water about to drown because she can’t move her body to get out of the tub. Creepy movie that Dart gun with BAM makes me wonder if this happened to Suzanne.

I saw that movie, too. I jumped in my seat so high after one scene that I hurt my neck, lol.

I can’t remember why Harrison Ford’s character wanted his wife to die by drowning after tranquillizing her. Did he intend for the police to find her and assume she died accidentally, after drinking too much and falling asleep in the tub?

BM hid his wife after murdering her and may have planned to do so all along, given how long it took police to find her remains.

I don’t know if we’ll ever know exactly how he murdered Suzanne, short of a very unlikely confession, IMO, but he may have simply pressed a pillow to her face until she passed.

 

[PunishThenForgive]

I really don’t think he considered them finding that through toxicology. He would have assumed that once she decomposed, there was no way they’d be able to tell.

I sure as hell wasn’t expecting them to detect BAM. That was as big a shock to me as her body being found in the first place.

But you were still confident they’d nab him in the end.

I am so grateful the prosecution has even more now to get their guy.

A conflict
between the verbal statement and body language?

 

[K9Enzo]

Also, I've read about the recovery of "bleached bones" in numerous unrelated cases such as lost hikers. IMO, this is typical when describing aged remains exposed to sunlight, soil, minerals, etc. I'm sure we will learn at trial if bone bleaching was of suspicious means.

From pg 5/10 of the Indictment:

Pardon and thank you for the correction

Lots of medical devices have serial numbers, including chemo ports & pacemakers.

Indeed lots do. But just like other devices like breast implants, and rods in legs - it doesn’t mean the number is always recorded in patient records.
Again, I was asking not if they had serial numbers, but if that the port had been used to identify her by the serial number in her medical records. (NOT if the port was used to identify her. DNA identified her and dental.)

As in did they confirm the port to the body? (ouch)

I have a titanium rod between my left shoulder and my elbow and I still have the little disk with the serial number.

From Denver Post on May 1, 2024 --BM talks about his use of BAM:

Here’s what Barry Morphew told investigators about his tranquilizer gun

I understand, but I wouldn’t consider breast implants or rods in legs to be medical devices, although most breast implants have a serial number.

As in - they found a port with a serial number with the bones. Did the number on that port match the one in her medical record? (Meaning : was this the port a medical professional had placed on her before death that stayed with her? Or is this a spare or emergency port (from an emergency port kit) that he threw in when the body was moved the second time?)
I don’t think there was enough left of her for the port to be in situ on her remains, as they were fairly scattered. :/

They should be in the surgical records & the serial numbers are on file with the company that produced them, in case of recall or problems. Maybe I misunderstood your original post as you stated it had not been your experience.

I wouldn’t consider a medical device to be an accurate way to identify a body if the body was in pieces & as stated the port wasn’t attached to any ligaments, etc.

Right , ty.
I dunno the answer but I definitely wanted to understand your great question.

 

[atomicsciencegal]

I would consider a metal rod replacing a leg bone to be a medical device.

Again, friend, I’m not asking if it was used to identify her. I’m very directly asking if the serial number on the port matched the one on her record.

He is pretty good at this.

I was confident there would be another shot down the road, but I was absolutely positive an arrest was coming once they found her body.

I’ve said it over and over, you don’t pass up on a high profile, career making case, once you finally have the goods.

We got completely deked by Kelly recently, when she talked to the media about empaneling another grand jury. She made it sound like the summer was out, because the schedule was busy. So I was hoping we’d have something by the fall.

That grand jury was likely hearing evidence as she said that.

 

[Miss Poovy]

What’s telling to me, he had to go that little extra.

 

[Magic8Ball]

Why is he shaking his head no the entire time?

Because "Oh, Suzanne....."

If only you hadn't disrespected my wishes.
If only you hadn't said the "D" word.
If only you hadn't had an affair.
If only you hadn't gotten cancer. Again.
If only you hadn't argued with me so much about the money.
If only you hadn't placed my carefully constructed facade of being a loving husband, wonderful father, successful businessman and upstanding member of society at risk of crumbling.

Barry's shaking his head at the camera the way a parent would shake their head at a child who misbehaved.

"Oh, Suzanne...." (sighs, shakes head).
I'm so disappointed in you.
Just look what you made me do.

That's what that head shake means.
He's blaming the victim. As per.

Even death couldn't stop him from gaslighting her. JMO.

I don’t know, but I’m saying the information is available.
