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

[TIGER0822]

If I'm reading your post correctly, you're suggesting MG had some knowledge of Barry murdering Suzanne.

Yes, I think it is possible that BM slipped up, and said something to her that made her suspicious. I believe this is corroborated with the two men giving her an envelope of money with a warning not to hand over her phone. BM firing her, and calling her a meth head, saying she is mad I fired her. He was clearly giving the impression not to believe a word she says.

Actually, the pig story conversation took place on May 9. From the original arrest affidavit, page 50 ("Morgan Gentile interview - May 15th"):

th.Can you please link to the source of that quote? Seeing it in proper context would help. Thanks.

I am copying this information from another post.
This is quoted in the original arrest warrant, pg. 50. MG stated that BM said this to her on May 9TH, that 'I could bury a body and no one will ever find it.

To be clear, the pig story conversation did NOT take place the day AFTER the murder! MG was fired by the time she arrived Salida from Broomfield, and never worked for BM again.

The pig story and BM's response was something MG recalled from a conversation with BM long before the murder.

The same party appeared on the 2021 list but no other knowledge.

Thanks @Seattle1
Any idea why Tammy Lee is on the list? IIRC, she was the one who interviewed Chris Watts. Was she involved in the initial Morphew case, do you know?

I wouldn’t be surprised. She is a polygraph specialist with the CBI and did an outstanding job with Watts, it would make sense she would be tasked with interviewing a high profile suspect like BM.

I agree that MG can not tesitfy to activities unrelated to the crime. MG h as plenty that she can testify about, the envelope of money she received, exactly what the guys said to her.. About BM stating that he could 'bury a body and no one will ever find it', about the bizzare Broomfield job. About BM saying he had to go hiking or biking to make the wife happy, although he subsequently was in town all day. How he was weirded out. Why he was outside her apartment at 4.30-5am. About BM telling her the ridiculous story that SM was got by a mountain Lion.

I do wonder if the timing was confused on one end or the other. He meant 5am and she thought 5pm. Easy argued away (unless there is specific correspondence that backs up the times). This isn’t a biggy for me. I mean why wait outside her homes if he had no intention of picking MG up?

Not on the witness list in 2021, but we also know BM didn't take a polygraph-- he just told others he did because he's a liar.

Tammy Lee is also a common name. No telling for sure who this is.
Some on the list may be from Salida with pertinent information.
Isn’t the next hearing in September?

If not the same polygraph expert we are remembering from the Watts case, there's a Tammy Lee at CBI--Agent in Charge, Cold Case Investigations. This sounds right to me.

She is new to the case now though, right? (Since she is in cold case investigations)
I wish the trial was soon. I would love hearing all the testimony and seeing him perp walked to prison.

I suspect that BM and MG may be able to answer that question. I also can't shake of the fact that on May, 9th the day before SM was found missing, MG said to BM that 'pigs can devour a human body in two hours', and that BM replied 'I could bury a body and no one would ever find it. The timing is thought provoking. as @OldCop said , 'MG kept popping up at relevant timepoints'. I simply do not believe MG was part of the murder. I do believe BM shot his mouth off, and MG picked up on some information, which BM regretted. BM public smear campaign calling her 'nothing but a meth head' and that 'she is mad with me because I fired her', which could in my opinion translate as ' Do not believe a word she says'. And why the envelope of money - BM??? All IMO. And who were the two 'unknown men' who handed MG the money?

We know the two men, but I don't recall any money exchanged. I think it was the opposite, MG was NOT paid! I think Jeff was the only one who confirmed he'd been paid at the time of the interview with LS. The men were GD and TN

I guess it's time to visit the Media thread for Archived video!

 

[K9Enzo]

Of course I could be wrong but I believe MG confirmed she had been paid … at a later date. imo

BROOMFIELD JOB: More than just blocks in the wall... What did Barry Morphew do on Mother's Day?​

It seems MG was paid per LS's sources-- at the time LS produced this video in October 2020.

“I’m not the other woman”: Second contractor speaks out about Suzanne Morphew investigation​

The men (TN & GD) told MG: "We would give you your paycheck, but don't want it to look like hush money." Nothing here about envelopes of money, and IMO, confirms MG wasn't paid until later.

Employee of Suzanne Morphew's husband DENIES they were having affair

Morgan Gentile, who worked for Barry Morphew at the time his wife Suzanne disappeared in Colorado in May, has insisted she was not having an affair with him and says she is scared.

www.dailymail.co.uk

"She said, back in town, she was approached by two men, both of whom she told Fox were 'linked' to Morphew, who told her: 'We would give you your paycheck, but we don't want it to look like hush-hush money. You have rights, but you don't have to give CBI (Colorado Bureau of Investigation) your phone.'

Gentile ignored the men, and spoke to the CBI five times, and handed over her phone.

'I know my rights and I don't have anything to hide,' she said.

She said she was then fired by Barry.

'He fired me because I gave up my phone, I wasn't staying quiet and I was complying with CBI,' she said.

'I feel like if he was innocent, he would have talked to me. I worked with him every day for a long time.'

She was awesome in the Watts case, especially the polygraph. I can still remember it.
