Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 #81 *arrest*

[Seattle1]

You're the best, @charminglane I knew there was something like that! Still hard to figure out what is meant. Had Barry already suggested she move to AZ, etc. But somehow AZ is talked about by SM and JL. May 9.

Under the circumstances, I don't think it would be unusual for SM to share with JL exactly what she shared with SO: On 5/8, BM brought up AZ for the first time, ever, -- leaving SM perplexed.

Some tragic history of Monarch Pass I just learned about today on our local news:

Gunnison High School honors football players, coach in 1971 crash | 9news.com

It really has nothing to do with Suzanne, but thought I share.

Yes, Barry knew. I always have felt, in BMs statement "if one person got saved from this, she would think it was worth it" that one person BM speaks of that was saved by Suzanne going missing was JL.

Also, I remain curious about Barry saying he caught Suzanne having sex in a basement. Who's the unnamed guy or is it another BM lie?

Agent Harris is being asked about Holly Wilson and a conversation she had with BM. BM was accusing #SuzanneMorphew of sleeping with a man in a basement in November. He allegedly told Holly, "If I find him, I will shoot off his balls, and shove them down his throat
CO - CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #69 *ARREST*
.

It's yet another BM supposition (LIE), imo, in order to get Holly on his side.
ETA: I don't doubt he told his daughters the same lie. He's special that way, what with bringing them into arguments and wanting to appear the 'good guy'.

So Suzanne's biking was inspired by JL and a neighbor was prompted by BM to call 911 to report her missing while biking.

Suzanne's body could easily could be concealed in the Garfield mine tailings. Lead, uranium and molybendum tailings must be hideous.

 

[Boxer]

Clothes worn to dig in a mine tailing area would have to be have to be discarded.
One's body would need to be thoroughly cleansed as well.

The tailings dirt and dust would be distinctive and MOO penetrating, but fairly easy to dig in and to erase surface tracks.

As to your comment on lint traps, I know we clean ours religiously. My husband's parents rented out their house for two years when they lived abroad. Upon return, the first time they used the dryer, it caught on fire, an uncleaned lint trap being cited as the problem.

Similarly, my sister recently ended up in the hospital for a few days. While she was hospitalized, it was the FIRST TIME her husband used the STOVE!!! They've been married 40+ years, and she's worked during all those years. I can see BM being ignorant of laundry and lint traps.

I think LE asked BM about the tranquilizer cap. Clever BM came up with a story. Then LE had a follow up question about where tranquilizer materials were. Clever BM came up with a story. When we see the order of LE questions, we may better understand how BM added bits of revealed truth to his stories.

Why did he not dump he clothes instead of washing them?

 

[Boxer]

Why did he not dump he clothes instead of washing them?

He knew he was seen in them that day.

 

[marylamby]

Why did he not dump he clothes instead of washing them?

Maybe because the shorts were only one part of his journey and didn't yet have incriminating evidence on them?
Except for maybe an errant syringe cap in the pocket.

I'm just disappointed there's no Walmart images of him - Walmart always attracts nefarious characters it seems ......

You are correct. The bike was found somewhere between the trailhead/CR255/Hwy 50 junction and the South Arkansas river not far off of either road, though I do not have an x-marks-the-spot location for either the bike or the helmet.

In the PH it was reported that the helmet was found about a 1/2 mile west of the US50/225 intersection on the south, (eastbound), side of US50. Originally this surprised me because AM in his PE interview stated that the helmet, which was found on Thursday, 5/14/20, was located about 20 yards off the trail where he was searching on 5/12/20 and he could not understand how he and his search team had missed it. He also mentioned that one of his team members who was a friend of BM had wandered off while they were searching and they had backtracked to try to find him. Eventually he showed up at the house where they were staying. AM found the whole thing very strange.
I had originally thought that AM was searching a trail on the north side of 50 because he would refer to “up the mountain”. My mistake because US50 west could also be referred to as up the mountain as the road rose up to Monarch Pass.
I went back to look at the map and realized that AM was probably searching along CR226 which parallels 50 and meets 225 right near where the bike was found. I did some rudimentary measurements on google maps to try and get a rough estimate of where the helmet was located, where BM May have pulled over to toss the helmet, and where AM was searching on Tuesday. I’m attaching a couple of maps showing this area.
The defense stated that no tire impressions were found that matched BM’s truck on 50 near the helmet. By my calculations, CR226 is about 200 feet off of US50 in that area. Would it be possible for BM to drive down 226 instead instead of 50 where there would be very little traffic in the early morning hours? He could toss the helmet right up towards 50 from that area.

Prosecutors usually win preliminary hearings. Expect Morphew to be bound over for trial based on probable cause. At this preliminary screening stage, evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution.

To keep Morphew in custody without bail, Judge Murphy must further find there is proof evident or presumption great that Morphew will be convicted of first-degree murder. The defense in this summer’s combined four-day hearing was feisty and formidable. Morphew hired two stellar Colorado criminal defense attorneys, Iris Eytan and Dru Nielsen.

Josh Maximon, an accomplished Colorado trial lawyer and a contemporary of Eytan and Nielsen, told me this dynamic duo have built their solid reputations “case by case,” first as Denver public defenders and then in private practice. According to Maximon, Eytan has merited the affectionate moniker “Hurricane Iris” because “she is a force of nature.”

I'm expecting skin and hair to fly during this trial. It will certainly be very lively, IMO

I wonder if it is possible that the AZ talk by Barry was bait...to gauge Suzanne's reaction? Bringing up an out of state move would force Suzanne to respond...and maybe it was the response that Barry was fishing for...to further identify where he stood...and, if Suzanne had something going on...an out of state move might just flush it out?

I'm an Aussie, and I don't understand what you all mean by "coolers". In Australia, I would take that to mean an Esky, which certainly wouldn't be big enough to hold a body. Anything bigger than that would be a small fridge, with it's motor, etc. Please can somebody enlighten me?

 

[DizzyB]

The countdown begins. If Barry is bound over for trial, any idea when that would take place? I almost wonder if from Barry’s standpoint, he might be better off with this going to trial now. If the a judge ruled there was not enough to proceed, they would be able to bring charges in the future, maybe find Suzanne, maybe review the holes in their case, and make sure their case is rock solid. Just playing Devil’s advocate with what they currently have to work with. If Barry goes to trial and is not convicted, that’s it.

They do mean an Esky ... no Eskies were at the house.


Andrew Moorman ....... “They did ask us, ‘why can’t we find any coolers at the house?’ And I said, ‘well I have no idea. I don’t know how many they had to begin with,” he said. “But I assume, as a hunter and a guy that maybe camps, he would have a few, and they couldn’t find a single one.”
Exclusive: Barry Morphew responds to explosive claims regarding the disappearance of wife, Suzanne | FOX21 News Colorado


In the Sheila von Wiese Mack case, her daughter and daughter's boyfriend managed to stuff Sheila into a suitcase.

(It might be that the daughters had the coolers for their camping trip. Possibly they were not speaking with the police. Like Karen Ristevski's daughter wouldn't speak with the police about her missing mother and her father's involvement.)

I think it means a Yeti Tundra or larger cooler...a container that could conceivable hold a body of Suzanne's size...or at least the torso. jmo.

I firmly believe BM is going to bound over for trial and he will not be eligible for bond. There is much more in the AA than we heard during the PH, I think it's enough to show PE/PG for the Judge.

Get comfy in that concrete prison BM, unless there has been some negotiating behind the scenes we don't know about yet.
