CO - BARRY ARRESTED AGAIN - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o prejudice* *found in 2023* #119

[Smelly Squirrel]

Nobody but BM would have motive to move the body, and it was found with her clothing, which nobody else would have access to. Lots of people might have BAM, but nobody else on May 9 besides BM had easy access to Suzanne and had motive. It won't be hard to prove he killed her and moved her remains.

Ever since the original arrest affidavit, this has not been a mystery. It's even less so today.

 

[Ontario Mom]

His daughters, his mom and possibly other family members. Possibly others who still believe him.

IIRC, one of his daughters was living in a house that he help buy/hid assets in. Her house is probably now part of the collateral. Same with his mom. Someone probably took out a HELOC for the $300,000. He might have still owned property in his own name, which he is liquidating to pay legal fees.

Those are my theories, anyway.

IMO. He truly is expert in ruining other people's lives.

I'm guessing the sister that accused Lauren Scharf of ruining her family's life (because of course it was Lauren's fault Barry murdered Suzanne), is one of those supporters.

 

[TIGER0822]

Maybe. But we don't know what they have at this point.
I think the most important evidence will be the obviously fake bike riding scenario, and all of his antics in the aftermath. There is a lot of evidence in his many talks with agent Grusing. Barry bragged about the BAM and the brutal and illegal assaults on the wildlife. And his alleged running around shooting chipmunks, at the same time his wife was home in her final living hours.

I think when the jury finally gets to the part of moving the body, it might not be a big sticking point to have to prove it. If they believe the angry, greedy husband was the killer because of what they saw about her final hours, then moving the body is just an afterthought. IMO

Maybe. But how many of these other people had any connection to the victim, much less have a solid motive, like an angry husband might have. Finding that cap in the dryer puts an exclamation point on it for me.

Cheap BM, My guess is most murderer's would want to get the clothes they wore as far away from LE as possible to avoid DNA. BM puts them in the dryer. It would be great if that is what nails him!

Risk his daughters being homeless, that's BM for you. IMOO

IMO let’s hope whomever is in charge of/responsible for monitoring BM via his GPS ankle monitor keeps better track of him than Denver Pre-Trial services did monitoring Robert Feldman who murdered his wife Stacy in 2015.
Feldman had pretty much same bond conditions as BM, restricted house arrest only allowed to leave for medical and lawyer appointments etc. He was arrested for his wife Stacy’s murder in February 2018, got out of jail on $1 mil bond in July 2018, and by October 2018 was violating the conditions.

This guy was out and about in Colorado on cameras, ironically bike riding to and around a few CO towns far from his southeast Denver home, ironically Broomfield being one of them. He was seen going into coffee shops, restaurants and stores tracking thousands of miles on his bike while wearing a GPS ankle monitor, all the while fitness tracker Strava was recording his travels and they were posted on a publicly accessible website! Denver’s Pre-Trial services didn’t get a court hearing until October 2020 to revisit Feldman’s bond and it was not revoked. SMDH. Fortunately he didn’t harm or kill anyone else while out on bond (that I’m aware of), but still imo it should have been revoked and he should’ve been arrested and sent back to jail. Thankfully Feldman was convicted of Stacy’s murder in April 2022, ironically same time as BM’s 1st case was dismissed.

*Snipped from link & BBM:
“In all, 9Wants to Know found that Bob Feldman had ridden his bicycle on more than 230 days since October 2018, and covered more than 3,000 miles — all while facing a murder charge in the death of his wife, Stacy Feldman.”

“Some of his bike rides were to medical clinics and his lawyer’s office. But others took him far from his southeast Denver home — to Broomfield, Golden, and Morrison — and included stops that were not allowed, according to court documents.”

“We’ve always said it’s a tool and it’s not a perfect tool, and it certainly will most likely not stop someone who has a lethal or fatal plan to harm someone, right?” Mauro said. “That device isn’t going to stop that. What it can do is serve as a deterrent.”

**Personally after following true crime for decades, sadly I don’t have much faith in GPS monitors/monitoring.
Too many cases of GPS monitor not working properly, and too many to count suspects violating conditions- roaming all over town/state while under house arrest, cutting ankle monitor off, fleeing, offing themselves before trial etc. *Sigh*

ETA- Feldman was out on bond for 3.5 years before he went to trial due to delays. Killed his wife in 2015 and wasn’t held accountable until 2022 (7 years post murder). He’s currently serving LWOP. Let’s hope BM’s case for murdering Suzanne is adjudicated well before the 7 year mark (2027).

Murder suspect on house arrest has been on bike rides around Denver and posted the routes online

^^rsbm^^

I recall the Feldman case and felt terrible for the victim's family and friends who were living this nightmare, knowing her killer was peddling all around town!

I can see the same use of daily freedom being true for BM. Today, all BM would be required to do is inform his probation/GPS monitor that he has a standing appointment in his attorney's office, M-F from 10 AM until noon, and requires 30 minutes of transportation time to and from their office. BM would have two hours to peruse his case file and also use his attorney's internet for whatever, all protected under privilege.

As written, advance notice with the monitor is what keeps the defendant compliant with the terms of his bail release. IMO, the Court already set the bar very low by not even requiring BM to remain within a specific boundary-- other than the State of Colorado! I don't doubt the defense would respond to any public complaints as violations of BM's civil rights, and this Court would probably agree. JMO

Anyone know how much the ankle monitor is costing Barry? Someone local to me was violated because he stopped paying the monthly fee. I’m not familiar with the laws regarding in Colorado. It’s not cheap, though. It adds up.

Anyone know how much the ankle monitor is costing Barry? Someone local to me was violated because he stopped paying the monthly fee. I’m not familiar with the laws regarding in Colorado. It’s not cheap, though. It adds up.

I'm thinking about the KY case related to the Sheriff shooting the Judge, where the GPS monitoring fees were due weekly and totaled about $400/mo.

Although it all comes out of the defendant's pocket, I believe many bail agents pay the monitoring fee to avoid any compliance issues with the court-- clouding the terms of release. JMO

ETA: The cost of GPS monitoring fees for defendants on bail in Colorado varies significantly by county and specific court orders, as there is no statewide uniform fee structure. For instance, Denver eliminated these fees for pre-trial monitoring in 2018, but other counties and private agencies may require defendants to pay daily or monthly fees, plus potential installation costs, according to GPS Monitoring Solutions Inc..

Denver criminal defendants no longer have to pay hundreds for pre-trial ankle monitors

People charged with crimes in Denver will no longer have to pay for ankle monitoring before trial, a court-imposed requirement that can cost defendants about $1,000 per case regardless of whether t…

I loved Lauren S during and her coverage of the case. The best of the bunch, she really dug into information on her own (remember she interviewed BM a few times, and the guy who occasionally worked for him, he rode with MG to the hotel for the 'fake job'), not just fluff repeat Tweets. I thought she might write a book someday about the experience. I'd read it.

Plus she has unpublished interviews with him, that despite her unpopularity with the Morphew crowd, has not shared.

Maybe she'll share it on the other side of his conviction, in good conscience.

I can't help but laugh at the thought that ole' Barr has spent almost $1M in bond ($500K+$300K) and monitoring fees since he murdered Suzanne. That's not counting the legal fees of the last representation by IE. This is a man who is such a penny pinching cheapskate who reuses old boot laces, disposes of trash and in public dumps, and buries furniture in the yard rather than pay a fee. I bet he's also the kind of guy who never leaves a tip either.

I hoped then and I still do that he is left penniless, completely broke. Since he was able to come up with the recent $300K bond he forfeited his right to State Appointed Public Defenders right?

IMO

 

[IWILLNOTBOW]

Here’s the thing, imo I doubt the money $300k or more, if he still had that much to his name after paying his first high profile Attorney IE, was in any account in his name. He likely made sure of it just in case he was arrested again after Suzanne’s body was found which after said 2nd arrest, he wouldn’t have been able to declare and be considered indigent by the court if he had that much money in any account bearing his name.

If his so called “friends and supporters” didn’t pool their own money to bond him out, I believe what he likely did if he had that much money was after his first case was dismissed in April 2022 prior to his 2nd arrest in June 2025, was either moved that money (which imo was mostly Suzanne’s money) around giving or gifting it to other people imo family members’ namely his Mom or one or both of his daughters, or could have hidden/buried the cash somewhere (lol) and told a family member where it was when needed to bond him out. In either of those scenarios, it’s dishonest and shifty accounting practices to say the least and couldn’t be more clear to me he knew it was inevitable he’d be arrested again and planned on it by moving money around getting it out of his name or burying it so he could be declared indigent by the court. Whether this same money was used to pay or help pay the bondsman’s fee is anyone’s guess, I’d guess yes it was if his “friends and supporters” didn’t use their own money to bond him out.

I agree with others and has been one of my lingering questions as well-
has anyone, namely a forensic accountant, ever done an audit of BM’s financials????
If not yet, I sure do hope the new investigating team/Prosecutors have it on their list to hire a forensic accountant or already has because imo some real shifty, shady money and accounting (if you can even call it that) has likely gone on if for no other reason, so that BM could be declared indigent by the court. He’s been gaming the system for years and mostly getting away with it, hopefully for not much longer.

Well, don't forget, he sold property of theirs after he pushed to have her declared dead, so that probably paid for the first attorney.. The house they were living in in Salida, where i firmly believe Suzanne was killed, probably sold for close to a million. I haven't checked in on this case in a while, were her remains confirmed to have been found? Also, was the neighbor ever looked into? I remember him stating that he saw Suzanne leave for a bike ride on Mother's Day, but it was strongly theorized that Suzanne was already dead, thought to have been murdered by Barry the day before if I remember correctly. I knew the first time I saw Barry make his plea for her return that he was full of and guilty as could be, the body language gave him away immediately!

Iirc he got the original $500K back.

But he shelled out big money for thunderous IE.

This $300K he doesn't get back. Evah.

And yup, now he has to pay his attorneys his own self.

Next hearing, I expect we'll hear how "friends" ponied up all those dollars and he himself is brokenback broke so.... can he please have his esteemed attorneys for freesies?

He seems to find work-arounds all of the time. Work-arounds without ever having to do any real work.

He's probably half-way good at half-way.

I thought bond money was non refundable? IDK Was it because the charges were dropped without prejudice?

Regardless, BM is the biggest Con Man ever, at EVERYTHING. Life in general; baseball, husband, father, landscaping, especially retaining walls, push up contests and volunteer firefighting. Always, always running some kind of con that ultimately benefits him at someone else's expense.

Karma's coming for him no doubt.
