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

I'm betting there was some kind of visual marker for him to have found the spot again later, to move Suzanne's remains. I also think he probably prepared the spot in the dark too.

As far as I remember, there were several coolers missing at their home. Maybe he used a little cooler for her clothing (and forgot her shoes, because she was barefoot at the end*)?
What happened with the teal tank top with the odd red-brown stain on it, which was found somewhere during search? Did BM lose it while stashing Suzanne's body/clothing? Had her first "grave" (in a cooler) been in the surrounding of that location, where the tank top was found? Is the tank top still in the evidence room despite being allegedly NOT identified as Suzanne's top?

* barefoot like the foot print on his equipment bucket

I don’t recall coolers being “missing”. I recall LE asked Suzanne’s brother who rarely visited their home if they had cookers and I recall the girls were on a camping trip but I don’t recall it being determined that cookers were missing.

 

[Momofthreeboys]

Yep, he did that.

It’s amazing what people do in rural areas lol. We buried an old cast iron “stove” when we built a new house on acreage we owned. The excavators were there and it was easy peasy solution. morphews closest town might have had someone who would haul it away but I guess it was easier and more expedient to bury it.

 

[Warwick7]

Yep, he did that.

My word I have really forgot all the things he did...

Careful. It might be contagious.
Didn't Barry go all Ollie North with 87 "couldn't recall" responses? I might be off by the number, but he said it a lot. To his good friend Jonny.

Pretty important couple of days for him to forget so much unless *gasp* he wasn't actually forgetty a'tall, just monumentally evasive. Major league dodge baller.

I lived on a farm for years, and we never buried anything except dead pets.
If it was wood, we burned it, if it wasn't, we hauled it to the landfill.
Burying furniture is not a normal thing people do.

Someone should dig it back up and make sure no bodies were tucked inside the sofa before burial.

I think, there had to have been several and found was nothing. MOO

Possible.

Bing! Bing! Bing! Give @Germany1 a prize.

LE was not doing a passive inventory of Barry's belongings. It wasn't a casual question, like one would ask if, say, they were going to borrow one for a weekend picnic, if only he had one.

It was a pointed question. LE had a reason to ask -- same with the BAM. That they asked him about coolers isn't because his daughters may have taken some camping. No, LE must have had good reason to suspect Barry used a cooler or coolers for something nefarious. I can't help but think of FotisDulos and his truckbed of trash bags (not to mention a bicycle). Or PatrickFrazee and the tote in his truckbed, with the hinges indicating it had been turned around at a critical time. What did LE see that inspired the question? -- that is what's important here. That they found none.

Was there one in his truckbed? Did they find one in a landfill? Was there a spot on a shelf in Barry's filthy garage, a perfect rectangle without dust?

Cooler for transport. Cooler for burial. I think Barry was at several sites overnight the first night, before leaving her somewhere from where he'd move her again, to Moffat.

It's possible that, when he returned around 3:30 am, over twelve hours after tranquilizing his wife, he had an empty cooler. Which he set on the trailer... before throwing it in the back of his truck and heading for Broomfield.

I know how cheap Barry is. But if LE has recovered his cooler, for some reason, I don't think he's going to be happy to see it again.

And that makes me happy.

Trying to remember where/when the fire was... could that have potentially been obscuring an initial burial site? Or, could clothing have been burned in that fire?... its been a long time, the details of this case escape me.

Do you really believe that the family would have no coolers? As a hunter ,not having a cooler would be virtually unheard of.
I hope there are people who saw Barry with coolers in his truck or when hunting.

 

[10ofRods]

My word I have really forgot all the things he did...

Me too. I suppose the furniture was not the mountain man style he wanted and he didn't want to pay someone to haul it away.

He really likes digging holes, big and small.

I feel like i remember someone knew that had coolers...was it the daughters boyfriend, someone else?

He has finally dug himself into a hole from which he will never escape !!!

As someone who works in the Solid Waste Industry - I know many folks operate their own mini "dumps" on their property. It's more common than you would think. If the property sells, it's subject to a clean-up. Some were even dumping waste oil and pesticides for years! We are also on acreage and bury our animals, but certainly not trash.

Barry Morphew is at his essense is a simple-minded cheat. Always scheming to get ahead, no morals or guilt on who or what he might impact. It's all about Barry. I've heard people say he's a good Dad. Really?! He is def not, the girls are pawns, he manipulates them. Disfunction ran deep in the Morphew family, Melinda (Suzanne's sister) clearly stated why in an interview she gave several years ago.
