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

[fcavanaugh]

IMO for a guy like BM, with the exception of a roughly four month stint in Chaffee County jail four years ago, an outdoorsman pretty much his whole life, used to freely roaming around, picking up and moving to wherever whenever he wants, manipulating and controlling others to his benefit, coming and going as he pleases etc………

The fact he is locked up behind bars in a tiny 6x8/48 square foot cell and from what I’ve read following cases and from someone I know that used to work as a jail CO, being told what to do and when, surveillance cameras watching, not being able to choose his meals, likely sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress, exposed to all sorts of noise and unpleasant smells, other inmates yelling and some likely getting sick from substance(s) withdrawal etc., imo probably feels like torture to someone like BM. To be clear, I do not feel bad for him, not one bit. IMO he deserves to stay there and be miserable.

Sure, wearing a GPS monitor and not being able to live in a state of his choice or leave residence any time he wants isn’t convenient or ideal, but he wouldn’t be confined to tiny 48 square foot space, can eat his own meals, have some peace and quiet time, open a window, have visitors come visit him at his/their own time, talk with his daughters’ and lawyers’ anytime he wants, wake up, shower, watch TV, use cellphone and other electronics, take naps, go to bed, do all of those things whenever he wants with no CO’s babysitting bossing him around or being surveilled 24/7.

IMO that all sounds better than being in jail putting up with all kinds of noise, adhering to strict schedules, following jail rules, restricted and limited visitation and/or call times with family and lawyers, no cell phone etc. I just cannot picture him being ok with staying locked up for close to a year possibly longer (if trial is delayed) thinking oh well, I’ll be acquitted anyways so may as well just stay put for time being.

I realize he may have no choice if he can’t manage to come up with the goods required so to speak to bond out but no, I don’t believe for a minute that he’s fine being in there while trial looms and BAM found in SM bone likely final nail in his coffin. I believe he absolutely knows deep down that being convicted is very strong possibility and end of his freedom forever.

As previously stated I expect to hear of his release on bond in the near future, could be wrong have been many times and really hope I am and he does not get out. Suffice to say I’d be pleasantly surprised, dare I say overjoyed if he has to stay put where imo he deserves to be and belongs-in a locked cage until trial, and hopefully at later date TBD- in prison for LWOP.

You know who  can't do any of those things? Yeah, he didn't lose any sympathy on Suzanne's freedom when he sentenced her to DEATH.

His cell might be small but it's bigger than the  grave he threw his wife in.

Apologies, but I'm a bit confused.

I went back and watched the TD video of Barry when he was pacing around. There was a brief shot of his black truck, but I didn't see anyone sitting in the passenger seat.

I'd like to see a shot of SM, just to satisfy my own curiosity.

TIA.

ETA: Nevermind. I rewatched the TD video at .5 speed, and I see where SM put her arm out of the truck.

JMVHO.

Here is the vid narrated by Linda It’s a crime. When we see the black truck (100%not red thx) you can see Shirls arm popping in and out of the window on the passenger side. When Barry goes to take down Tysons info he leans into that window. 32.20 ish
Tyson asks if she’s BM’s Mom. She tells him yes I’m Barry’s Mom. When Barry tells Tyson in effect you better not be a reporter or I’m coming after you Shirley laughs

How bad is it in the Alamosa County jail if he is conducting business? He’s probably dining with the head warden by now and has privileges like extended time in the common room etc. Full time iPad and phone.

These are good ole boys.

And Barry? Just an unjustly accused GOB. It broke him when he learned of the affair but she was the love of his life. I can hear him now weaving his narrative. Like he told Tyson, “Let me tell you what happened. “

And you can bet the daughters show up to visit often and use their influence “please kind sir can you help our Daddy”

I think Barry is doing just fine. Getting things in order, ready to meet his maker or life in jail. He knows the jig is up.

Hey folks, quoting my own post for clarification on couple types of bond. I know there’s been a lot of discussion about bond since the hearing on 9/2 and promise this is my last post lol on the different types of bond and their meaning.

Upon further review of the CO Judicial Branch’s website under Types of Bond, bond secured through bail bondsmen are called “Professional Surety Bonds”. (Colorado law sites refer to it as “Surety Bond” but they mean the same thing/serve same purpose-see links below from couple of Colorado law sites),
and “Cash Bond” means defendant or another person pays the full bail amount to the court via cash only.

**Snipped from CO Judicial Branch site under “Types of Bond” BBM:

Professional Surety Bond
A professional surety bond is a bond posted through the service of a state licensed bondsman of your choice. The bondsman may require a co-signer and/or collateral to secure the bond.

Cash Bond
With a cash bond, the defendant or another person can pay in cash the full amount of the bond to release the defendant from custody.

It was late the night I re-listened to the hearing and did a ton of reading about different bond types and apparently misunderstood and melded the 2 types of bond together and indicated in the heading as “Cash surety bond” described as bail secured via bondsmen but the terminology/legalese I wrote in heading as “Cash surety bond” is incorrect and should read “Professional Financial Surety/Surety Bond”. Apologies for the confusion.
Also, as I indicated in my previous post, after re-listening to the hearing, heard the Judge say “cash surety or property bond”, after re-listening again today and playing back several times, heard Judge same BUT I believe after re-reviewing the court’s website r/t types of bond and other CO law websites, what the Judge likely meant/ruled as acceptable types of bond are
cash bond, or surety bond, or property bond. (Imo JH likely just omitted the words ‘or’ and ‘professional’ when she referred to surety bond in her ruling). I think that makes the most sense as it tracks with descriptions/verbiage for each of those 3 types on the court’s website as well as on some
CO law/lawyer websites I read.

For those interested, see Media Thread post #50 video clip of hearing where Judge goes over bond and at about the 7:00 minute mark explains her reasoning for modifying BM’s bond from 3mil cash only to cash, surety, or property bond.

IANAL and legal ‘stuff’ can be confusing to me at times and probably should refrain from posting after reading up on legalities of things, especially late at night and becoming crosseyed so to speak after reading. There are posters much more knowledgeable than myself r/t laws, interpreting them, legalese etc. I appreciate you all,
and thank you to all WS friends for your patience!

Bolded in blue above.
Ugghhh geez Louise, apologies friends for once again quoting my own post, too late to edit.

Not sure how the word “Financial” got in there, it wasn’t my intent. Could’ve been a typo I guess as I’ve been looking up and reading about financial forensics lately as well.

At any rate, for accuracy sake, the BBM above should read:“Professional Surety/Surety Bond”.

Once again, apologies for any confusion and thank you for your patience!

Hope he stays where he is.

I do believe he's delusional enough where he still thinks he can get away with all of it.

If he's not that delusional, he's an increased flight risk. But he'll then face charges for that once they catch up with him, and the game he's been playing will be over regardless.

JMO, he's cornered.

Oh I totally agree Meg. I’m glad BM is ‘trapped’ in a locked cage. Of course it’s nothing compared to what he did to Suzanne for which he deserves to go from his jail cell straight to a prison cell. Here’s hoping.

Betcha alot of animals, large and small, hither and yon, did happy dance/s upon the creep getting locked up.

No freedom. No guns. No hunting.
I would add No women except he likely has adoring fans writing him and possible marriage proposals because well you know, hybristophilia.

It gives me pleasure knowing what I believe he loves and cherishes most (freedom, guns, and hunting) no more, hopefully forever. Remembering something he said circa 2020/21 to FBI great Jonny Grusing, paraphrased:
If I can’t have my guns and hunt, I have nothing left to live for.
Uhmmm hellooo, how about your two daughters?!?!????
Gives insight into BM’s self centered and warped mind.

Speaking of, I’d encourage anyone new to following the case, to read the AA from BM’s first arrest in May, 2021 for a glimpse/insight into some of the ‘workings’ for lack of a better word, of imo BM’s sick warped mind. It’s about 130 pages long and quite the read, or as some of us lifetime New Englanders would say, it’s wicked long and quite the doozy!

Don’t think I’ve ever read a document in which someone spewed so many lies and disgusting, disparaging, dehumanizing statements to investigators about their professed “angel” and missing wife. (imo he knew she wasn’t missing but dead by his own hand/s). He’s a liar, fraud, and con-man that’s been playing the long game for years.

It’s about time Karma’s come a calling and he deserves every discomfort, inconvenience, and to rot in a cage for eternity for taking a beloved beautiful soul, Mother, Daughter, Sister, friend from this world.

JMO, he's cornered.

I have a rule: Defendants accused of murder should no get the luxury of release until trial when the missing person had not been found.

And while Suzanne's remains were found, not all of them were found. Notably her feet are still missing, along with some other bones and her hair.

If he is granted release, there's a chance he could destroy evidence, namely those remains.

However, if he does post bond and does attempt to destroy additional evidence, I hope his GPS monitor and LE tracking tracks him every step of the way.

Probably a lot of complaining about the injustice. Maybe asking them to get a fund together to pay the 300k. I guess he is also thinking about how to post bail without showing the court he has any money, cause he’s not paying attorney fees if he can get free lawyers. Barry, the king of smoke and mirrors.

Yes, how interesting that would be I bet. I'm sure he's railing about the injustice of all of this, complaining about being caged like an animal, poor me, after all I've endured, etc.

Or maybe he's whining about wanting a steak for two served on one plate and a big jar of peanut butter for old times sake. I guess a guy needs his protein to be Top Dog in the prison push up challenge. "Oh Barr..."

Yup. Everyone else was desperate with that Suzanne would be located safe. Except Barry, busy providing reasons why she wouldn't be.

JMO

Shades of psychopath Drew Peterson, who murdered his wife, Stacy Peterson, when she was about to leave him. He kept saying that she took $25,000 and a bikini and ran off with her boyfriend. Didn't Barry say at one time that Suzanne might be with her boyfriend? I can't recall if that was one of his theories.

Drew was finally convicted of killing his first wife. It was all about money and power for Drew Peterson, too. Drew didn't want either woman to have access to his pension,which ironically was cut off after his conviction.

I wish that Stacy's remains could be recovered some day. His oldest son career was impacted by his father, not that he cares. He helped his father; and, for doing so, he lost his job as a police officer. He was then living off his father's police pension supporting Stacy's and Drew's two kids...until they stopped the pension. The kids are young adults now.

So, murdering for desperately wanting to hold onto power and money for Drew Peterson resulted in his losing both and also his freedom. Barry, IMO, murdered for the same reasons. I just hope the end result is going to be just like Drew's. It's only just. It won't bring Suzanne back; however, at least some justice will be served.

Here's some links to refresh your memory on Peterson's case. Let's just hope Barry ends up the same place as Drew.
