What do I think?

I think she didn't disappear on Mother's Day.

I wish that would stop being a headline or byline.

They keep forgetting the verb.

Well, exactly.

The indictment includes a section where the anthropologist speculates Suzanne's remains did not decompose at the site where they were found. They based this on a lack of observed insect activity, a lack of observed animal activity, no observed decomposition on her clothing, and no primary hair mass. There was no soft tissue remaining and no evidence it has decomposed at the site. The presence of the bullet and the port are therefore interesting to me- let's say Barry hid her body (he did) and came back after it was decomposed to move it (which he also must have done). The chemo-port would not longer be attached and the bullet would also have been free. He must have chosen to transport those items as well as he collected up her remains. Why? he is clever enough to know that ports and bullets can be traced. Looking for opinions here...

If she was in some type of container as she was decomposing (super hard to type that, ugh) then he wouldn't have needed to really collect individual items. He would have just picked up the container, and dumped her where she was found.

It is my theory that he hid her above the Frontline in an abandoned mine he stumbled upon. I think her remains went through one or more thaw cycles, and icemelt carried some of her remains downstream. When the decision to move her occurred, he gathered what was available. I happen to think she was partially contained. Water can be a powerful force (bleaching?).... Eventually a closed cooler could have broken upon impact and water assisted in decomp and movement both.

Moving her sealed his fate.

Arrgghhhh, there it is again. "First went missing on Mother's Day...." Nope. Only one person claims Suzanne saw Mothers Day, and he's not very convincing.

I wish I could offer the media a reasonable adjustment. Can we agree she went missing on Mother's Day Weekend? I'm drinking to leave out words like 'murder' and 'hedidit' bit can we pleeeeeeeease move away from Mother's Day and bike rides?

A fall trial is what I expected - hopefully this stays on track.

Morphew’s defense attorney made that statement to the judge, also saying Morphew waives his right to a speedy trial, which is 180 days in Colorado. Trial is currently set to start Oct. 13. A status conference or review hearing is set for March 9, and a motions hearing is set for July 6.

On Monday, Barry Morphew was back in court and pleaded not guilty to the murder of his wife, Suzanne. She went missing on Mother’s Day in 2020, and he was arrested in connection with her death in May 2021. The original case was dismissed, and Morphew has since been charged with his wife’s murder after he body was found in September 2023.
