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

Barry is a cheapie-I wonder about what the difference is in in-state tuition.

If its like most other states....double tuition for out of state students....triple for foreign students.

Or possibly any searches on MG's phone, as his entourage was so keen to not have that turned over to the police?

ITA! Early on I posted what i thought might be on her phone but the post got deleted, so I won’t say it again. I’m *very* interested in why BM don’t want LE to get ahold of MG’s hone!

 

[Pink2017]

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?

Cooler as in YETI, a popular brand that is sometimes as big as 4’x2’…ice goes into them typically. I’ve seen Australian movies and I see you have very different products-especially in the outback. Here, coolers hold food when camping and such outdoor activity…with ice and drink and food or hunting cooler to carry fresh kill. They’re very big often when on a site for construction as well where electricity hookup are unavailable. Since BM is responsible for construction sites, he would have a water cooler and hunter type cooler available…none at all speaks volumes! My garage has many as my boys collect them and their pals leave them…I’ve had to ask for them to be picked up or else they will be donated. It takes up space.

I would like to know exactly when LE placed the 2 calls to Barry when he was at Broomfield? And, did they leave messages for a call back?

According to info from the prelim, LE attempted to call BM at both 5:58 pm, which would have been right before he left Broomfield, and again at 7:10 pm, which would have been when he was driving back. LE received no answer. I don’t know if they left a message.
I think BM did not want his voice recorded. I also think he was practicing how he was going to act when he got to PP as he was driving home. Evidently it was not an Oscar winning performance as during the prelim CCSO Undersheriff Andy Rohrich described BM as shedding “crocodile tears”, (fake tears), when he arrived at the scene where the bike was found.

 

[Pink2017]

I agree. How could he Barrysplain why they were missing?
Additionally, since he is supposedly a true crime buff, I think BM thinks of dna and other forensic evidence as poison powder. It lands everywhere and it’s a **** to get rid of. I think he was panicking about everything he touched and where he went that he might have picked up more incriminating evidence. I mean, who changes their clothes four times in a day when they’re just laying around watching tv?

Well me, haha. Seriously, I’ll change outfits but I can attest my husband and boys only change if they’re sweaty.

It wasn't only MG's phone that she was warned about -- BM's henchmen also told MG that she did not have to talk to LE!

I think it's pretty clear that BM's last-minute rumble to Broomfield was for the sole purpose of giving himself an alibi.

MG's discredited BM when she told investigators that the Broomfield job was planned as a 2-person crew at a later date, and for some unknown reason, BM contacted her on Sunday and requested she bring a 3 person crew to Broomfield with an arrival date of Sunday evening.

I've also read here that MG had planned to travel with BM to Broomfield but she later learned that he left much earlier without her.

MG handing over her phone corroborated her location, schedule, and contact with BM. BM had plenty of reasons not to want that to happen. BM was not in control. MOO

Exactly - and. you're right. They are encouraging MM1 to go to school in CO (which I've always thought strange - what's the point of going away to college if your parents go with you? But anyway...). So Barry takes MM2 on a college trip by at least 2016 - based on (IIRC) a prior trip to CO.

How one can "semi-retire" (meaning Barry would semi-retire) and buy a much more expensive house?

This was Barry's dream, IMO. To be a lumberjack and a fireman and boulder-mover and a hunter...in the glorious, most rocky of mountains, the Rocky Mountains, spine of our continent. I wish I could live there too (my dad is from CO, my closest relatives are there, and I love so much about CO - but my job is where I am).

So basically Suzanne, by falling in love with someone else, destroyed Barry’s dream and he had to destroy her, right? All about what Barry wanted, needed or desired.

Was a performance worthy of a Razzie though

Thank you for that info....Strikes me as a very profound behavioral response. His wife is reported missing....he has been informed by the neighbor, whom he knows has reported to LE (IIRC).....then, several hours into a missing spouse, LE is trying (twice) to get ahold of BM....and he isn't taking their call, even though they may have breaking information to share with him about his wife's disappearance? Please ask the jury if this is what a reasonable and innocent person would do. And of course, you are correct, OC....didn't want to be recorded...just like LS.

 

[Megnut]

I've been making a list.

The things of Barry's that seemed to go missing on or around 5/9:

His cooler(s)
His chipmunk gun
A bullet
His tranquilizer stuffs
His syringe cap
A couple of ill-got April antlers
The rest of a scalped Elk
A brown towel
His wife's journal
His wife's bike
His wife's helmet
(But not her sunglasses, Camelback or cycling gloves)
His wife's cellphone
His wife's phone charger cable
And also HIS WIFE

Barry said he's only good at working and hunting.

Me, I'd say he's really good at losing everything.

A born loser.

If only Suzanne could have broken free....

But now we know -- he was never going to let her go. Because why? Because Barry loved her to death.

The End

JMO

I can understand the prosecution not wanting to tip their hand at the PH, but if they had more they should have presented it at the PH in my opinion, as I am concerned about the evidence they have presented and whether it is sufficient to hold him without bail. MOO.

Why? With the AA, the judge responded that they overdid it and put in too much.

In a PH, the main point is to give the defense a chance to present or go over exculpatory evidence. As @marylamby put it, unfortunately most of the evidence is inculpatory.

Knowing this, the Prosecution did what it should have: it started with the evidence that might lean the case most favorably in Barry's direction. The Judge does not have to limit himself to what was said in the courtroom - he has 4Tb or more of evidence to go over.

Another purpose of the PH is so that no one is held for trial with a public hearing of the charges. The People of Colorado are prosecuting Barry Morphew and they have a right to know the outlines of the evidence and charges against him. So the Judge set 4 days for that and made the prosecution pare its witness list down from 18 to 4. Because the Judge is supposed to know where the proof evident bar actually sits.

Why would the prosecution want to give the defense the details of how they intend to proceed? That's usually the last thing each side wants to do...before trial.

In no way disagreeing, however, how has it been determined that “he’s cheap”? Just a question. TIA

He said so. One example: He was trying to get a free breakfast at the hotel in Broomfield by trying to slip in the back door when someone was leaving.

AND he didn't try to call her, did he? I mean he called her 11 times in succession on Saturday but not at all when he thinks she is missing? I find that odd. MOO

 

[Ontario Mom]

He said so. One example: He was trying to get a free breakfast at the hotel in Broomfield by trying to slip in the back door when someone was leaving.

Don't forget the old saving boot laces excuse. Sure Barry... sounds completely believable.

That is what the prosecution wants the judge to believe...and ultimately a jury to believe.

 

[SeattleStew]

That's right. And I'm going to add a bit of color commentary to your post:

"Free breakfast". The one he would have "entitled" to when he checked in early. You pay for the whole "day" (check-in time until check-out time the next day) I've never stayed at a hotel that would pro-rate my stay by the hour, but I'm fairly certain even though BM hadn't spent the previous night in "his" hotel room, they still would have charged him for a full nights' stay, hence it was an approximately $119.00 per night, plus tax for his "free breakfast" plus approximately 7 or so hours of "room use" until the next night/day room charge hits starting at check-in time.

Besides that, "free breakfast" at that time in the pandemic was a piece of plastic-wrapped fruit, and a yogurt cup.

Barry even failed at being a cheapskate.

Oh, yeah! How did I forget that one?

 

[Pink2017]

Haha, right! Eye roll!! Thanks for that…who does that? Just weird! Also shows his character—big fail. Who would share that information, oh Lordy! Not likely the reason to skip through the backdoor tho…I must have missed it. Thanks.

 

[girlhasnoname]

No amount of showering will cleanse him, guilt doesn't just wash away Barry!
A confession may help a little though

moo

Guilt requires a conscience and I think ole' BM is sorely lacking in that department.
