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

Yes, some tools were left in the lobby---but how do we know he didn't take any to his room?

I do remember when my son did construction jobs while in college, he used to bring most of his tools into his apartment at night so they wouldn't get stolen from his truck.

I wonder if LE interviewed the daughters extensively in the first few days. We only have small snippets in the first AA about what they said about the marriage and where they were. They would know exactly what is missing. I think the younger daughter would know if that door frame was busted before she went on her trip. She would know what shoes her mom wore bike riding, and she would know if her dad had any coolers. It's one thing to be missing a single cooler or two, but if he had several and now after she's missing there are zero coolers, then they don't even need to know exactly what they looked like to know that it's odd that now there are no coolers in their house at all. The daughters would know 100% if anyone was planning to stay at the house that night. I've seen that Barry said Suzanne was washing the sheets so the girls could stay there Mother's Day night, but then I believe the AA also said one of the girls said there was no plan to stay there (the older daughter and her friend).

Barry being a landscaper with his own business and employees along with being a hunter to the level he was tells me there is about a 0% chance he didn't own even 1 cooler. I think we have about 5 or 6 that I can remember off the top of my head in my garage right now. It just doesn't make any sense that a hunter has none. Heck the daughters boyfriend could probably tell them if Barry had coolers. He seems to care more about helping than anyone else.

I think Barry made sure the minor was not interviewed and made sure Suzanne's clothing was packed up and gone (besides some bike shorts and a CB sweatshirt). I also suspect he told everyone LE busted up the place during their searches. To account for the broken door frame.

It's not really whether he did or didn't he coolers -- we know he did. It's that LE asked about them. That's a very specific thing and I think they asked a leading question on purpose. Just like, do you have chemicals, do you have the reversing agent, do you use them, do you still have them, do you know how to load darts yourself? Might you have thrown them away?....

Very targeted questions, getting hotter as they went. Forcing BK to back away from never having them to explaining who he might evidence of them. Near the breezeway. Tranquing deer. Even he didn't know a sheath was in the dryer. And stuck in such a way that when the lint filter was pulled out, it dislodged...
So... if Barry had actually shot deer IN APRIL, and pocketed a sheath then, Suzanne herself would have discovered it by the next load of laundry.
Brilliant how LE played him.
He admitted to having and using the chemicals. He admitted to maybe discarding them in Brookfield.
He admitted to knowing how to fill them (a step that requires a needle hence the sheath)
Too bad they didn't press him on his technique (buttocks, muscle) and where is functioning dart gun was...

LE had reason too to believe he used and discarded a cooler (or coolers). I'm interested to know what that reason is. I hope that cooler comes back to haunt him.

From hunter to haunted.

Suzanne was declared deceased in 2023. If Barry was the beneficiary, I seriously doubt any insurance company would be quick to pay out on a homicide, where the beneficiary has or had been named as a suspect. Maybe the girls were the beneficiaries in which case it would have been satisfied quietly, doubt we would have heard about it all.

But that's as good (bad) as giving it directly to Barry.

Barry controls all the purse strings, always has.

JMO

It's possible to get life insurance for a cancer survivor, but both eligibility and rates are established based on a close evaluation of the type of cancer (recurrence/survival rates), history of treatment and response, time since diagnosis and remission, etc. It's not clear whether Suzanne would have qualified, but you're spot on about payout and control, if she had a policy.

As I think more about it, I'm pretty sure the CCSO/CBI/FBI looked into the existence of insurance early on, and the arrest affidavit would have commented on the potential benefits as motive.

 

[Megnut]

I wouldn't claim that Suzanne was exactly hooking up because she was actually just talking wiht him over LinkedIN and whatsapp. She wasn't exactly cheating but yes was indeed very unhappy from her marriage and had brought up the topic of divorce with her close ones .
Also I do agree what you say, Barry considered himself very superior...such kind of men only seek dominance over anything else. Such men want the submission of people or things that they want to posess and behold with them. It either theirs or no one else's.
Also its truly unbeilevable regarding how long it took for the police and the jury to figure out the case when even a common person who has once read her case file, would 100% agree that her husband was her killer because it was way too obvious by the time you reach page six

(She hooked up with him in person a couple times.)

If you lose one parent it might make you cling tightly to the other?

Especially if surrounded by and communicating only with several others (BM's mother and sister, BM's attorneys) who insist that BM is an innocent victim of LE's misguided suspicions.

 

[Megnut]

Also, I wonder if his buddy George would be willing to help now. Surely he can't believe Barry is innocent now after this BAM revelation.

He could tell them everywhere Barry and him searched in the weeks and months after Mother Day Weekend 2020. I'm sure that could narrow down possible areas because I don't believe Barry would take George to search an area that he put Suzanne. So anywhere they looked can be marked off the list of locations for the first burial site.

I do wonder if LE could tell if they found the first burial site. Would there be outward signs now 5 years later that would indicate where he put her. Maybe some of her bones are still in that first location or other items of value.

I think LE searched at least two sites extensively and for good reason. Because they got tips/intel that lead them there. But he had already moved her, they just didn't know that.

I think he gave up on the cooler at the third location, all that same night. I think it was up the mountain behind PP and I think the missing bones are from ice melt carrying them away. At some point, Barry gathered what hadn't washed away and dumped them in Moffat.

The bones that once belonged to a lovely, vibrant woman who was looking forward to the next chapters.

Til Barry came home.

They really are taking their sweet time to transport him here....

Feel like they usually get right on that.

Maybe they are moving him as we speak.. Saturday night over Sunday might be a quieter time than during the week.

Iirc there was a little more than phone talk and linked in and WhatsApp.
I think she met him at hotels approx 7 times. While he was traveling on business. I think they were even chatting about him coming to Colorado when BM took off for a big hunting trip.
So I think yes cheating.
And I am so glad she was.
While she was alive, JL was kind and considerate to her in a way that she hungered for. Positive affirmation. That relationship plus the cancer finally gave her the clarity she needed to leave Barry.
She was going to come into her own. Whatever that looked like.
Granted JL turned out to be a weasel after the fact but Suzanne was gone by then - so she never knew or had to deal with the fall out.
I know Barry shared the affair details with the daughters immed after he was told.
You can bet that the way he spun that was a work of art. “ She never loved us she was going to leave, not a godly woman blah blah “. Fueling the narrative that BM was the good parent and SM not so much.

Yes Suzanne was cheating, she met Jeff in several different states a handful of times. Who could blame her though?!!

JMO, emotional affairs are just as damaging to a relationship as having physical intimacy.

Spinning out of control…………..

Just doing her job (to obfuscate, misdirect inquiry and paper-over the obvious), Jane Fisher-Byrialsen, one of Barry's attorneys, tells us - "Also confirmed with the autopsy report is that she put on her bike clothes. She was on a bike ride and abducted.”

Continuing with the blinding gaslight, Iris Eytan, Mr. Morphew’s former attorney, said Suzanne's autopsy results confirm "that she put on her mountain bike clothes and was either getting ready for, or was already on her morning bike ride, when she was abducted, allegedly drugged and buried 50 miles south of their home."

From what the indictment has disclosed, she was apparently riding nude with her “biking clothes” in a backpack (or something). Regardless, the clothing found at the re-burial site hardly comports with a bike ride. The Crested Butte sweatshirt was her knock-around garb (see pics below) as well as not having the warmth (it was in 50’s during the morning of May 10) and windbreak attributes of her actual biking clothes (see more pics below). I’d say the Crested Butte sweatshirt was not so much a souvenir of a visit there, as a reflection of her ever-increasing interest in mountain biking (the Crested Butte Mountain Bike Park has over 800 miles of singletrack and is a premier destination for mountain bikers).

Suzanne’s actual biking garb as shown from 3 different selfies in the Arrest Affidavit, is warmer, fitted, layered, with no hood, and I’d say, more stylish. Moreover, the blue-gray Crested Butte sweatshirt and “green Nike tank top” found with her remains would seem to clash with Mr. Morphew’s statements in the AA about her biking attire: "Yeah. She doesn't ride without a helmet ... And she has ... a light - light blue helmet. Her favorite biking outfit is blue. - if you guys didn't find it, then that's probably what she was wearin'. Was the blue one missin'? light blue helmet, light blue outfit. She's a matcher.”
Her clothing aside, for some reason (I’m looking forward to Mr. Morphew’s attorney's explanation) she also decided to ride without her shades or camelback, which were left in her car at home.

Interestingly, page 35 of the Arrest Affidavit shows Mr. Morphew entering the hotel in Broomfield at 8:46AM on Mother’s Day 2020 carrying garment(s) with colors very similar to those seen in the biking photos above. Perhaps this accounts for the lack of color cooridination in the “biking” outfit thrown in with Suzanne’s remains. It would be important evidence (at least in my mind) if it was determined that these teal blue items were part of what he discarded in the hotel dumpster.

​

 

[Knox]

It’s never made sense to me that he would carry the suspected teal blue items of Suzanne’s into the hotel in Broomfield. I think it’s much more likely that he shoved them into a bag that night at the house and discarded them in one of those dumpsters.

Am I mistaken that all those stops happened before he went to the hotel? Or did he dump additional bags after this footage was captured?

 

[osu]

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

I think it was Suzanne’s brother, Andy Moorman who had mentioned the missing coolers during an interview.

He had 14 miles that are uncharted.

He stopped at the transit station.

Then McD iirc,

Then the hotel.

Then several outings. Men's Wearhouse lot. The crooked wall. His strategy was multiple dumpsters. Mr. Trail Cams apparently forgot that in 2020 DOT and private businesses have trail cams all over their trails.

He SMILES for the hotel camera. See me? I'm smiling, I'm not doin' nothin' wrong.

Why he brought blue items into the hotel is anyone's guess. Dumb move.

But he's good at those.

I think it was Suzanne’s brother, Andy Moorman who had mentioned the missing coolers during an interview.

Moorman said CBI agents brought up other concerns as well.

“They did ask us, ‘why can’t we find any coolers at the house?’ And I said, ‘well I have no idea. I don’t know how many they had to begin with,” he said. “But I assume, as a hunter and a guy that maybe camps, he would have a few, and they couldn’t find a single one.”

Ultimately, regardless of when/how, we know he did indeed get rid of Suzanne’s “matchy” biking clothing. Because just like her helmet - Barry specifically mentioned them. He wouldn’t have done that unless he knew they wouldn’t be found, just like Suzanne.

Sitting here typing and going over all the old stuff, I’m overwhelmed by the mountain of evidence. Any juror that doesn’t vote guilty is either a narcissist or closet abuser who self-identifies with Barry. MOO

This sounds incredibly plausible, and it sounds like it could be the "difficult spot." If not behind PP, someplace with winter road closures, and there's a lot of them around there. I don't think LE was bluffing when they said they knew where the body was prior, they said it was more than a feeling or something like that. Have also guessed there was a tip for both locations, although I'd be more sure for this original location.

The explanations behind all of this-- they're going to be ghastly, jmo. If we're starting with BAM out of a tranquilizer gun, I just know whatever comes next is going to be (probably) even worse.

I'm still wondering on him frantically dumping his own boots and no shoes/feet with the remains.

Might be a coincidence. But it's another layer of weird thrown in there.

 

[Luna20]

He is so dark, it makes me wonder if he cut her feet off to imply that she isn’t going anywhere without him. He was so angry about her wanting a divorce, I can see him doing something so savagely.

 

[LinasK]

IMO, it is absolutely impossible to determine what she had for breakfast on her last day, if all that's left is bones. Any caffeine traces found would be a longterm deposit of caffeine---not a one day event.

That's exactly what I thought. Unless she had stomach contents available to be tested, a coffee cup is no "proof of life". It could easily have been staged. It does nothing for the timeline.
