CO - BARRY ARRESTED AGAIN - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o prejudice* *found in 2023* #118

[Tragg]

Here's the latest development in Morphew's civil case. Looks like it's moving forward notwithstanding his arrest. No motion has been made to suspend proceedings, so far.

07/08/2025 - Oral argument notice filed. This matter is set for IN PERSON oral argument on 09/11/2025 at 8:30 A.M. Mountain Time in Courtroom II of the Byron White United States Courthouse, Denver, CO.

I think that it is highly unlikely that Suzanne would be interested in someone who was a close friend of Barry's and more than likely shared the same boorish attitudes towards women. I believe she began another relationship out of pure loneliness and the need to connect with someone from her past on an emotional and intellectual level . This obviously developed overtime and did become physical on the few occasions they met up. I do not believe Suzanne would be interested in a clandestine physical affair with one of Barry's friends.
I can believe that GD might have tried his luck ,but have been quickly rebuffed.
Or that he was willing to make up things aided and abetted by others in order to smear Suzanne's character and try and create a scenario whereby she had numerous affairs and one of those men was responsible for her murder.

I agree. Suzanne rejected macho He-Man hunter Barry: why would she go for macho He-Man hunter George? Especially as it's all but impossible to conceal an affair with a local in a small town.

How long was she in the relationship with Libler? Two years? Why would she spoil that fantasy by having it on with a local?

The man we know she had a long-distance affair with is an entirely different type. I speculate that she was fantasizing how different her life might have been if she had pursued a relationship with Libler when she had a chance, instead of allowing Morphew to take over her life.

Worth revisiting this interview with MG, BM's former employee.

She's the one person who can testify to his weird in-person demeanor, last-minute Broomfield job scheduling, and odd behavior (leaving inappropriate tools for the job, barely having done any actual work on the wall himself, etc.) on both the Saturday and Sunday of Suzanne's disappearance.

Her testimony is going to be so damning to BM.

If GD really told the oldest daughter that SM flirted with him and followed him into the men’s bathroom at the gym, that’s odd. Saying that during the search for SM makes it even worse. But if the oldest daughter is repeating it now, it might be her way of shifting blame off of BM. Maybe she believes it, maybe she wants to believe it, but saying it helps Barry (she thinks). It makes SM look impulsive and puts GD in the story. If the oldest daughter ends up testifying for the defense, she’s a wild card. Bad vibes from that one. IMO

Even though Suzanne’s phone is missing, I imagine they can access her cloud and see if she was communicating with GD. And what kind of guy would GD be, accepting money from Barry to look for her, while badmouthing her to her own family. Mr 400 Tours may have been duped by Barry, I sure hope he woke up.

So Jane et al are doubling down on their farce of a suit.

Is Iris fueling the push to move ahead? Her “go big, go at it hard whether it’s true or not” seems to be Jane’s MO as well.

Sickening.

Who knows if that lie came from GD or BM. I can totally see BM gaslighting Suzanne to the daughters to cement thier loyalty to him. Probably happened their whole lives.

In the end it will mean nothing. There are plenty of other witnesses who will counter that particular testimony.

I don't believe it for a second. I don't think Suzanne hit on him, and I don't think he told anyone she did. If this actually happened, why are we just now hearing about it, 5 years later? Nope, I'm calling pure baloney on this.

If GD genuinely believed SM acted in a way that was concerning or relevant to her disappearance, he should have told LE, not her daughter. It makes me wonder what kind of open conversation was happening for that to even come up. If this was all made up and he never said it, well…

I never believed GD would cover for BM or even cared that much about him, honestly. I think it was the other way around. BM wanted to fit in with GD and “the guys.” He looked up to him, maybe even wanted his approval.

I didn't hear about GD taking money to search for SM. Was this more of a private investigator thing, or was he being paid during the boots-on-the-ground search in those early hours and weeks? Either way, I don’t think GD really cares about this family and probably won’t be a strong defense witness. He's likely the opposite today.

There’s an sad, odd and dismissive tone about SM in all of this. imo

No doubling down, IMO.

JFB had the appeal briefed before the indictment was issued, she might as well spend a little more time on oral argument.

Besides, if she gave up on the case it would signal a change of heart - that she no longer believes Morphew to be the innocent victim of unconscionable abuse by the authorities.

I don't believe she expects to win at the Court of Appeals, because like Judge Domenico the Court is bound by Supreme Court precedent. IMO JFB can only hope for a grant of certiorari after an adverse decision in the 10th Circuit. She needs to keep alive the opportunity to persuade the SCOTUS to change its mind by completing this stage of the appeal.

JFB is a "true believer" in Morphew's innocence. All her thinking is driven off this basic assumption. It's the lens through which she examines the investigation and the prosecution. Any bad facts must be the result of unjust or incompetent acts by the authorities. For JFB, this mindset is necessary to serve effectively as a zealous advocate for her client. We see the same behavior in Eytan, and also in Ann Taylor who represented Bryan Kohberger. Many (not all) of the best defense lawyers have this mindset.

Only after exhausting all the avenues of advocacy for her client will JFB be able to take off the filter, look objectively at the remaining evidence to be presented at trial, and advise the client about possible outcomes.

Beller is a fine advocate, but he doesn't seem to need to think this way. IMO he will play the role of Nielsen to JFB's Eytan. He'll be the one to suss out a possible plea bargain.

Again, these are lawyers doing their jobs, not devils incarnate. I reserve all my anger for their client.

All MOO.

Wouldn't it be heresay coming from anyone (daughter, lawyer, bobcat, chipmunk), unless that person is GD himself?

LOL. "In person" argument.

Well, we know one person who won't be showing up "in person."

This appeal's getting tossed on it's a$$ in spectacular fashion in September if #TeamBarry refuses to drop it before then.

Which he won't.

{Mod snip]

(I understand the gaslighting, lies, etc., they have been subjected to, but doesn’t ANYONE in the Morphew family think it odd that BM has NEVER pushed LE to find the killer? As almost every innocent husband would.)

IMO

Back to the smell test.

Let's pretend it's true.

Why would he essentially throw his name in the ring as a potential suspect? Don't tell anyone but...

And it's hardly salacious. Even if marginally true. If anything, maybe Suzanne was peppering G to learn where Barry was spending all his free time. Two week camping trips, conveniently off grid. With his Bible, no less. Knocking pages with whom? We know he later claimed his overnights with SD were Bible sessions. Godly man and all.

I wonder how many times Barry told Suzanne he had a big job up in Denver or, dontchaknowit, firefighter training again.

But you know what does ring true? -- Barry probably felt insecure about every man -- didn't he tell Grusing something to the effect that he could hardly blame other men for being interested in Suzanne -- after all, she was the most beautiful woman in ... the county.

He probably objected to every pleasant, so ial or professional Suzanne had with men. Because (he thinks) he knows men.

Once again failing to see Suzanne has a real person, well liked, capable of managing her own life... she was a good person.

And he, he was a lousy husband.

Barry said that some of the money was given to GD, because GD was not working during the time that he was assisting in the search. Like he compensated him for that. Not that I believe a word that Barry says.

 

[Love Never Fails]

Very common.


As I recall, and this may not be accurate (seeking source) GD (?) use to go over to the house when BM was away, and only SM was there.

I never heard or read that. It’s hard to believe. What’s harder to believe is that he told MM1 that Suzanne flirted with him and followed him to the men’s room. I mean, come on, her mom had just been disappeared and while searching for Suzanne he tells a daughter, oh by the way, your mom was hot for me. No.

Maybe BM paid GD to lie to his daughter?

I thought he told it to the oldest, MM1.
