Found Deceased CO - BARRY ARRESTED AGAIN - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o prejudice* *found in 2023* #117

[gammagirl]

With recent discussion about SD, I have to say I always found it more than a little sus the fact that she and her former paramour fiancé? FB, both called in to LE claiming to have seen a suspicious vehicle on Mother’s Day May 10th in the area where Suzanne was biking aka NOT BIKING. The only 2 people to call it in, one of whom-FB quickly dropped off the radar after giving a short local media interview about seeing the suspicious vehicle, and the other-SD, subsequently ends up meeting (dumpster) and dating the man of the missing woman 5 months later (Oct 2020).

I’m sorry but I have a realllyyyyy hard time believing it was just coincidence BM ends up with the lady who called in seeing a suspicious vehicle in the area that fateful Mother’s Day. It really has always given me pause that BM and SD knew each other way before he claimed to have met her for the first time at the Dumpster in October 2020 as in, knew each other before Suzanne was murdered, and have sometime wondered if FB and SD came into a little windfall aka $$$$ oh I don’t know, say sometime around Mother’s Day 2020, iykwim.

Yeah, really don’t think a suspicious vehicle ever existed.

Agree wholeheartedly with this!!!

This brings to mind the footprint in the bottom of the bobcat.

I think that's going to be Barry's.

I do not know where he was between about 11:30 pm and 3:30 am or what he was doing, but I think he stripped down to Barr nekkid and bagged up his barryall clothes, boots and all. Yes, the ones he carried into the hotel in Broomfield. You know, to save the laces.

Don't make me have to picture it.

This is a bit of a reach for me, as I don't generally posit theories that aren't rock solid. I'm posting this for posterity though:

Barry Morphew had gotten away with murder. Charges were dropped, any future case was unlikely without a body, and he had a 15 million dollar lawsuit pending against law enforcement, and those who prosecuted him.

Here's where things get interesting. The grand jury indictment contains evidence that Suzanne's body was moved, as evidence at her gravesite was not consistent with what the various experts expected to see.So why would Barry move a body that had remained undiscovered for (likely) over two years, and put it in a place that greatly increased the likelihood of discovery?

Money. It's always been about money. From the cons he ran to obtain wealth (selling worthless businesses), to not wanting to part with assets as a result of divorce, to liquidating assets shortly after her disappearance. It was a motive for murder, and I believe the reason he wanted Suzanne found.

With a body, Barry would be able to collect on life insurance (no 7 year wait). We don't have any proof that Suzanne did have a policy, but I do believe one exists.

It could have given him access to her share of the estate.

It could have bolstered his lawsuit, which is why he apparently redressed her body in biking clothes.

It could have all but guaranteed his freedom forever, because he could "prove" that Suzanne was in fact kidnapped on a bike ride.

This was one hell of a risk, but I believe the evidence shows that's exactly what happened. The discovery of Suzanne's body during a search that was ostensibly unrelated, has always bothered me. Edna Quintana disappeared in May of 2023, and the search that uncovered Suzanne's remains was over 4 months later. Why was CBI there? Why was CBI there then?

I think a few different scenarios are plausible:

Someone helped Barry move Suzanne and they cooperated.

Someone helped Barry move Suzanne and they told someone else.

Some sort of investigation into Barry's movements led them there.

Barry himself called in a tip (I've seen this happen in a couple cases).

What this absolute moron didn't count on, was Suzanne's body containing a smoking gun. The very chemical the previous investigation was based on, one that Barry admitted to owning, recently using, and disposing of, was found in her bones.

BAM.

Interesting that in the scenario you presented you mentioned the possibility of someone possibly helping BM. I bring this up because I have been looking for how other male dna ended up on her helmet, bike handles, and in the car. It's just a thought that maybe someone else(another male) may have been involved. JMOO

In the summer of 2020, Defendant CB Agents Megan Duge and


Cailtlin Rogers, and the other Defendant CBI Agents determined foreign


unknown male DNA was found on various items of the crime scene including:


the exterior cushion of the bike helmet, Suzanne's bike seat, Suzanne’s bike


brakes and handlebars, Suzanne’s bike grips, the carpet by the Morphew’s


bed, on a stair in the Morphew home,and on the back seat and the glove box


of Suzanne's Range Rover that was parked in the Morphew garage.


100. Barry Morphew, along with nearly sixty other investigative


personnel working the scene and laypeople who could have possibly been the


source of the unknown male DNA, were excluded as sources of the DNA samples

^^^^^ Could not agree more!

By windfall you are including the proceeds from the sale of SM's RR less than a full moon away from her reported "missing date"? I am betting all of the wildlife have taken up a meeting spot by the creek, next to the fire pit, behind the PP home and are comparing notes. Chipmunks, turkeys, lions, squirrels, deer, elk, bears etc. All coexisting in the name of Suzanne.

He deserves every peanut butter steak made for him in prison. Of course, if our good Justice system finds him guilty.

No shade to the wildlife, peanut butter nor the steak.

I’ve never been a fan of him having help with the murder itself. This was a deeply personal crime, and you can kind of game it out based on the evidence (timeline, truck activity, phone activity, etc).

This would also require him to contact someone, which there would almost certainly be evidence of. Most importantly, if he had help, he’d be able to establish proof of life.

He couldn’t do that working alone, which is why he’s in this position to begin with.

It is hard to "love" a theory such as this. It is abhorrent that we even have to put these out there. However, we are in the same camp here. I think the dumpster happenstance(s) will be more like a crystal ball in this trial.

Certainly more than one truth can exist. Wouldn't it be something if someone did flip and cooperate; AND he called in a tip as he grew penniless and destitute. We know that none of his behavior is driven by guilt. IMO he is not capable of feeling remorse or guilt. I believe, and this is MOO, he has himself convinced he did, whatever heinous things he did, for her. Imagine that? For her? I believe he believes that.

IMO and speculative.
ETA grammar..

Good thing he grabbed that WD 40 or similar. Heavy equipment can be challenging to operate and uncooperative at best.

I know DM is trite and often inaccurate but they have been on it with photos since the search, bikes on the back of the truck etc happened. It was their chopper flying over PP during the search. They have been on this story from the jump.

The title below the photo reads "new girlfriend" so possibly October 2022ish?

$64,000 question -- where was Suzanne's favorite sweatshirt while her body decomposed?

JMO

And where was Barry's chipmunk shooting .22 gun when Suzanne went missing? They took his truck and held the house so any guns would have been taken then. Where did he magically find it to hand it over to LE so many months later?

 

[justtrish]

I think that's going to be Barry's.

I do not know where he was between about 11:30 pm and 3:30 am or what he was doing, but I think he stripped down to Barr nekkid and bagged up his barryall clothes, boots and all. Yes, the ones he carried into the hotel in Broomfield. You know, to save the laces.

Don't make me have to picture it.

Oh no my eyes! ugh yuck.

 

[Auntie Cipation]

I kind of like the potential scenario where his first hiding place for her, the place where the body decomposed and perhaps where the bones were bleached -- I like the idea that when he went to move her from that place, the bones of her feet perhaps disconnected and were out of his ability to reach them, so he proceeded on without them. Maybe this was at some mountaintop mine as has been suggested, and there was no way he could retrieve the bones that fell further down.

I also like the image that perhaps those bones were lost because Barry fumbled, accidentally tipped the cooler over, etc.

One thing I like about this idea is that if that first hiding place is ever identified, the foot bones might still be in there, confirming the story and his guilt.

If someone led them to that second site, it's reasonable to believe they also led them to the initial site. This is obviously a huge assumption, but it's not something I'm ruling out. There would almost certainly be signs there.

That makes a lot of sense. I’m on board with a mine as possible first location. I recall during one of FBI agent J Grusing’s interviews with BM when JG mentioned they were searching mines BM sat up and took notice, shuffled in his seat or had some such nervous twitchy body language/response. His reaction said a lot to me and why I thought he potentially dumped her body down a mine. With the new info coming out that her body was moved, he very well may have put her in mine or an abandoned mine he discovered while out hunting (there are a lot around those parts) in an area of the mine near the top that’d be easy to go back and retrieve remains after decomp had occurred, and move.

[PunishThenForgive]

Suzanne's body had decomposed elsewhere, so why'd the killer move the body to Moffat? Online searches of Moffat in 2021 reveal there was cult activity out there. The cult leader turned up dead there. I'm guessing it was widely publicized in that area of Colorado & beyond because it's one weird, weird story. The followers mummified her and she was propped up as a shrine in the Moffat home.

Right, so for someone who murders his wife by shooting her with with some chemical concoction designed to paralyze animals... with a dart gun...because she was planning on leaving the "best" marriage ever...which her own words contradicted after she had vanished...and aforementioned "best" husband was out there liquidating her assets at a lightning pace...after maligning innocent animals everywhere by trying to scapegoat a mountain lion...and goes in and out of airplane mode on his phone, and makes out of town trash runs in some very strangely timed visits...Right, I could go on, but the point is, Moffat seems like a logical choice for such an individual to relocate a body. Mountain lions, cults... We all know need to remember a dangerous world it is out there!

(Snipped and bolded by me)

Brilliant, @snooptroop88!

Does anyone else wish Barry had fallen prey to this crazy cult and that dastardly mountain lion when he was dumping Suzanne’s bones (and biking clothes) in the middle of the night by starlight?

(Speculation about time/weather)

Yikes! What a sloppy mess!

 

[Hazelnutty]

I'll bet that BM is somehow blaming Suzanne for the mess he is in now. No bail money. Locked up and waiting on a trial. If she had only been the good little wife she was supposed to be then none of this would have happened.
