Hope Lauren spills some tea, but probably not until/unless he’s convicted this time. Remember when BM’s sister confronted her in the courtroom? Trying to remember specifically what she said - blamed Lauren for something?

IF he wanted her found and identified one day, he maybe thought, he had to put the port there with her remains, IMO.

For what purpose would he want her to be found? Collecting on life insurance??

 

[NotoriousMPZ]

I thought he was pulled over driving his truck?

AZ Central. reported that Barry was arrested in Gilbert during a traffic stop by DPS detectives who spotted a black Ford pickup registered to him, after the June 18 grand jury indictment prompted a nationwide extradition order and warrant, court documents said.
The other source got it wrong, I guess. After following the Daybell case for 5 years I've learned that newspaper and magazine articles make a lot of mistakes.

'You ruined our family!" or words to that effect, I believe.

This is sadly not uncommon. How many cases have we seen where the sisters/mothers/daughters point the finger at everyone but the perpetrator?

It's everyone's fault but precious sonny boy, because Sonny Boy can do no wrong.
Hence the narcissistic personality development.
Sick.

Thanks for finding that!!! Truthtellers are not well regarded in the Morphew family. Suzanne knew that well.

SM said he had cameras everywhere. If true, BM would know if something was stolen from him.

I mean, when SM's brother came for the search, instead of helping them BM threatened everyone to stay off his property AND hung hunting cameras.

You cannot search to find out if a person has a veterinary prescription unless you are the owner of the pet and are requesting your own pet's records, or if there is a legal reason for the information to be disclosed.

BBM:
This is incorrect. JG was never removed from the case. He retired from the FBI.
Retired LEOs frequently testify in criminal trials.
The prosecution will absolutely call JG as a witness.

A large part of this case will involve showing the jury the prolific lies and conflicting stories that BM gave to LE over the course of the investigation. Barry made numerous incriminating statements to JG in their interviews.

Jury needs to understand what they're dealing with here in terms of the defendant's statements and behavior post-offense. JG has done a masterful job of outlining that for jurors in other cases, most notably, the Letecia Stauch case, also out of Colorado.

His testimony won't confuse the jury.
His testimony will help make it crystal clear to them exactly whodunnit.

*ETA: I believe you may be thinking of JC, who was an investigator for the CBI, vs. JG, who worked for the FBI.

It will be interesting to see how prosecution goes. I am thinking they will not go down that route and will not want those complete interviews heard. But you never know as we are all not privy to the snippets in the first AA and some minor things from the preliminary.

So there are HIPAA laws for pets? Wow, interesting....I just learned something new today, thank you!

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 believe Jonny Grusing will be a powerful witness. Even though he’s a retired FBI Special Agent, JG I will be a vital prosecution witness.

 

[NotoriousMPZ]

Pretty typical. I know plenty of people who use their middle name as their first name (one of my kids does that) and a few that have shortened their last name. In my opinion the only reason Barry used a different name was to disassociate from his primary name because of the notoriety and he took a route many people take. I don't put much weight on it at all. And most people aren't going to get all creative like Hollywood types unless they need to or they are in the mood. We don't even know if he used it legally or more like a nick name - like when he registered vehicles or got his Arizona driver's license.

Perhaps I have misunderstood you, but you have to use your legal name on your driver's license and vehicle registration.

Remember someone on his crew said his hotel room STANK of bleach!!??

Yes !
Jeff Puckett (sadly deceased).

I posted about that in the previous thread, and although it was said the hotel claimed people had complained in the past about the smell-- the hotel also said the pool was closed while Barry was there and that they didn't use bleach to clean any rooms.
So, add it to the long list of Barry's fabrications ( my coworker is lying and the odor is the fault of the hotel cleaners).
Imo.

On what BM did with the remains to get the bleaching. I still think he did that naturally. And a particularly gruesome thought just came to mind.

He was a farmer, I guess. He owned that landscaping company. They use enormous amounts of compost in landscaping. So in terms of contemporary funeral/burial options, there's now a process for composting human remains. It's legal in some states, it's like a thing. "Natural organic reduction." Colorado was one of the first states to legalize it in 2021. Since we know BM murders people and doesn't care about what's legal in any state, legalities don't matter, but the idea would be that he may have concealed the body in compost. It seems logical with him being a landscaper. And yes, the bones could bleach, and this seems logical because when they compost human remains (legally), the bones totally break down.

And he had the wrong tools for the Broomfield job.

NOT saying he did, but wondering because it would seem to be possible, and he owns a landscaping company.

Good find. ^^^
How freaking rude.

So... the Morphews or at least some of them don't care about justice for their sister in law or daughter in law ?
Awful.
Imo.

 

[NotoriousMPZ]

I wondered the same but then would Arizona not charge him with something like having false documents?

Lying on a passport application is a federal crime, and the consequences for a conviction are similar to those for other nonviolent felonies. Passports today have so many security features that it is virtually impossible to make a fake one that is convincing enough to fool the folks at passport control. In order to obtain a passport under an assumed name, one would need a birth certificate and other legal documents in that same name to prove one's identity.

 

[Teche]

I so agree. Grusing is one of a kind….not only a great interviewer for these horrid crimes, but a great witness at trial….ties it all together.

Another Colorado case he was integral in was the murder of Dylan Redwine by his father Mark.

I often fall asleep watching crime shows. I was recently awakened to a voice I was familiar with…it was FBI Agent Jonny Grusing giving his testimony. It was clear and concise.

 

[NotoriousMPZ]

I think you are probably right.
I think when the prosecutor mentioned the circumstances during his arrest being used against him in court, I think part of that is him possessing a fake passport etc to flee the country..
Consciousness of guilt.

In order for him to get a fake passport he would also need fake proof of citizenship, i.e. a fake state-issued birth certificate and fake proof of identity, a valid driver's license, military ID, or other government-issued ID.

 

[NotoriousMPZ]

If that is the case wouldn’t there be other farmers who have it on hand?

He was the only person in the state of Colorado who had a prescription.

 

[waldojabba]

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 talking about two different people

I think there is confusion between two people
-Jonny Grusing FBI retired
-Joseph Cahill CBI - shot himself in the foot/screwed up the dna request etc / off the case
JMO

Not saying BM did something like this, but he did know all about preparing animal skulls and antlers. Interesting article about substances used to bleach them.

Rewatching the body cam

16:50 two officers have a sidebar, both noting that it was padded bike shorts they found in Suzanne's closet. Wheels are turning... story isn't holding up.

Sure, she might have two pair of bike shorts... but...
