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

I don’t think they will have JG as a witness.

Why do you think that?

IIRC, he was the prior owner of the trailer and is now deceased. I believe keeping his name on the property record was intentional where BM slid into his trailer park lease ("grandfathered") without a background check and/or fanfare. MOO

I cannot believe any decent trailer park would allow a new resident to move in without running a criminal & credit check. This is just basic SOP for almost all parks. Most places will reject anyone with a felony on their record within the last 10 years. It doesn't matter who lives there already, any new person coming to stay more than 10 days will be required to fill out an application and pay for a criminal check at the very least. Which has always made me wonder how he got in that park. The only explanation I can come up with is that this particular park doesn't require a criminal check for ANY resident.

With regard to the late night noises at the beach sight, could that be related to Barry using the site backhoe to create a concrete coffin of sorts for lack of a better term. I hate saying that. He likely had access to sand, dirt, rocks and concrete.
Is it possible he prepped an initial box to place her in and then later covered it with something secure but removable/replacable even quickcrete? Would he have access to anything else there that might work in this scenario?
And if we think he placed her on a snowy steep slope how would he accomplish that. Would a backhoe come into play with that?

I disagree. He was a significant prosecution witness during the prelim hearing, and one of the first defendants promptly and voluntarily dismissed by BM from his civil lawsuit.

This is an aerial image of the trailer park. It is a far cry from Puma Path.

Yes, and even though JG has retired from the FBI, I have seen him testify in other cases after his retirement.

But it is a palace compared to where he is now !!!

I assume you are referring to the forgery, felony charge against BM for casting a ballot for SM?

I don't know they we ever satisfactorily settled on which night that occurred, but if it was that Saturday night, I think he had to abort. IMO he may have planning a water grave or a grave below the foundation. Possibly Barry left PP courtesy of an ATV or a borrowed truck and/or reached the firehouse from which he borrowed a truck. From there, he could ostensibly have borrowed equipment from the firehouse or the man who Barry had decided not to buy equipment from.

If he hadn't been interrupted, he might have concealed a body where concrete work was slated.

Instead, he got spooked and left. Getting back to PP in reverse order. Probably decided it was too dangerous to go anywhere but his massive backyard. Endless backyard. If he didn't stop at the other building site intermediately.

Somewhere back behind PP, I think he buried her again. At high altitude. From where he later moved her incompletely to Moffat.

His thinking absolutely defies logic.

Question for everyone. Has anyone seen a specific address for MG from when she was living in Salida? I read the AA and it said she heard Barry's truck going past her house on highway 50, but I was looking for something more specific to see exactly where that would be in relation to him driving to Broomfield. If he would have gone past her house anyway on the way to Broomfield or if he had to go out of his way to go past her house. If that was at about 5am and then his truck was on camera about 5:17 (I need to verify that time in the AA). He turned his phone off at 4:32am before leaving his house and then he turned his phone on at 5:37 and he was in the area of Johnson Village, CO.

Iirc Barry was supposed to pick her up, maybe that evening. When she heard his truck, she jumped up, hurried to her ready, even though it was like 5 am. By the time she was ready, he was gone. I wondered if he was contemplating bringing her alone, to solidify his crooked walking, or if he was utilizing a commercial dumpster.

I trust her. How many big diesel trucks were powering through town at 5am on Mother's Day?

One.

Typically it is illegal to base these types of business decisions on any arrest records as arrests do not necessary make a person guilty - charges can be dropped and presumption of innocence applies. With that said the only criminal record is the voter fraud so far for BM.

I think he'll be the star witness. What he did was absolutely incredible, and the interviews he conducted will form the centerpiece of this case.

Why do you say that?

I don't know. If they call him then I "think" anything he testified to from the original case or dispositions can be brought up. The thought makes me want to go back through transcripts and see exactly what he said in court or under oath. But it's a great question for a lawyer to respond to. My gut is this prosecution is going to shy away from anyone from the original case and would prefer "fresh witnesses" who can testify to the same facts first hand.

I think because of the PH and the fall out afterwards. iIRC JG was transferred off the case because he wouldn’t toe the DAs line. I think it would give to much for the defence to attack. I think this trial will have a different focus. They don’t need all of the interviews between BM and the agents. They have a body, that has allegedly been moved, has BAM in the bone marrow and BM as the only person in that part of CO that has admitted to having said BAM in his possession just before Suzanne was killed. BM was the last known person to see Suzanne alive. The telematics and phone data will be useful too, but I do have a question about the telematics - and the turn right (or was it left?). How did the agents know that if the telematics were off until later in his journey?

I believe that this DA will keep the narrative focused on the above, bringing in evidence from the previous charge, will just give the defence more ammunition and risk confusing the jury.

I tend to agree with you. There is so much that isn’t needed in this trial that just created rabbit holes with the first case. I know people like to chat about all the back stuff but I don’t see this trial getting wrapped up in much of it and I see them shying away from things that can’t be proven or can be easily countered. I think they will have to use telematics and gps so that will be interesting and they will need to address the cell phone. Because I live in a location where cell phone and internet is spotty I have always been curious exactly what my “data” would show. My car nav system goes in and out when I am out driving too.

I disagree. JG had the full measure of Barry and has useful and pertinent information from the interviews he conducted. I am expecting him to give evidence.

interesting points. Calling JG could possibly invite cross-examination about internal conflicts, questions about the accuracy of the earlier data interpretations and why he was removed from the case. The current team has a stronger cleaner case and it might be wise to stay away from those past complications. imo

There is no "fresh" witness" who spent hours and hours conversing with Barry Morphew. As a profiler, he was the one running the show for the FBI, even sitting in the back of the police car when Barry was arrested.

Everything that was in evidence and testified to during the first go round can be brought up again if they so choose. I don't understand why anyone would want the state's best LE witness benched.

I think Barry might have had thoughts and fantasized about killing Suzanne,but I now do not think he had anything preplanned. I do not think Barry plans much, he is far too disorganised. I do not think he initially thought about moving her,it was reactionary.

I get what you're saying, but I think apects were planned because I do believe this:

A friend of a man who is being charged with killing his wife has said that he doubts anybody would be able to find the body if he really did kill her.

Friend: Barry Morphew 'would know where to hide a body in Colorado'

A friend of accused killer Barry Morphew, left, said on Monday that if Morphew had killed his wife, Suzanne, right, police would not be able to find her body in Colorado.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Morphew evidently told some buddy of his BM knew spot/s where he could hide a body and LE would be unable to recover it. THIS under the circumstances I tend to beileve. So I'm leaning more towards natural bleaching in decomposition versus the forced chemical bleaching. I've read that in a semi-arid continental climate, maybe wet or moist sand/sandy soil could actually speed decomposition.
