Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #83

[LietKynes]

Can someone dial us up another look at Barry leaving the courthouse(s)?

Is he wearing MAKE UP?!!!!!

Hmmm.... ?
Maybe he felt he was looking a little rough ?
Guilt will do that to a person.
I'm curious if he's a flight risk.
MOO.

There was the one mention of the bare footprint and then no follow up on that!

I had to read that 3 times, to make sure I read it right. I was shocked the Bobcat was not implicated. Especially if it had barefoot prints in the bucket. I also read he used that excavator off a jobsite to tear up a beaver dam to look for SM, but it wasn't big enough. He needed a bigger one. That statement is on pg 84 of the AA.

I'm not certain that the Bobcat has been totally excluded. Just that at the time the AA was written the data hadn't come back yet. I would think though, if it had been wiped or tampered with the way the truck had been that should have been entered at the PH. If it was somewhere it shouldn't have been on the 9th, I think we would have heard that, too.

It's like a bad riddle.

Watching Barry and the girls leave, linked arms with huge smiles (thought they’d start skipping any second) broke my heart in half.
JUSTICE FOR SUZANNE!!!

The fact that he had his daughters come to pick him up, was so inappropriate, IMO. Their mother still “missing” (dead) and the family shouldn’t be exploited for his benefit by parading them in front of the cameras in an effort to show unity and support for their Dad. It is disgusting and I cannot imagine how torn and confused the girls must feel. He is wrong, wrong, wrong! So selfish of him to use them at their expense.

 

[Hazelnutty]

The three of them look so happy as Barry is leaving jail. Its really disconcerting. Disturbing to me.

 

[MemPat]

I feel totally confident about the State's case against Barry. Of course they would leave the AA seeming disjointed with some gaps.
Why would they lay out the case perfectly for the defense?
By trial time there will be a smooth, easily followed timeline with graphs and enhanced video (which may already reside in the DA's locked office!)

The volume of detail accumulated over a year is impressive and
I would bet my chipmunk gun there's lots more!

The mind-thumping amazing event of the hearing was that a murderer who obviously used a dirt-digging machine to bury his wife is loose on the roads of Colorado with no restrictions against using more machines that dig deep holes.
Oh, what could possibly go wrong here?!!

 

[Deleted member 229974]

Thank you for saying this, I kept forgetting to mention it. There is no doubt in my mind he raped her before he killed her.

OMG.

I don’t think he’d get too far wearing an ankle monitor.

Yes, and he kept saying it in my opinion because if they found her it would be obvious she was assaulted. he thought that by saying HE had loving sex with her the night before he couldn’t possibly be responsible. The alternate reality he lives in is truly frightening. MOO

It’s inappropriate. This isn’t a soldier coming back from war celebration! Being arrested for murder is no laughing matter, not to mention it’s so disrespectful to Suzanne.

I agree IMO the man is a total intellectual simpleton - albeit a cunning manipulative street smart one.

He is so Neanderthal in his views on gender that he should be prosecuted on those alone

Regardless tho and most importantly after reading the AA , what are the odds that she died in any other way but at the hands of this guy?
Given that all her communications stopped/were suspended in mid air when BM got home that Saturday -
By BM’s own admission , they were the only two at the house until he left the next day -
Just a few minutes after he arrived home she was never heard from again. Never heard from again. Let that sink in.

I don’t have any worries with the evidence.

But as many of us have said, over and over again on these threads, the prosecution needs to up their game and even the playing field when it comes to the presentation of their evidence.

Meet fire with fire

Excellent commentary. I'm thinking they need an approach similar to the brilliant Agent Grusing's with Barry.

Warm, friendly and somewhat folksy with the jurors, carefully leading them toward an understanding of the remarkably beautiful person inside & out that was Suzanne, a woman in the prime of her life, as seen in the last proof of life.

Then BAM! - expressing anger at the savagery of her no mercy killer, someone who had plenty of time to rethink and stop or walkaway but CHOSE to step by step continue his heinous, murderous path and create an alibi to hide his determination that Suzanne's light would shine no more.

Just my passionately held opinion.

There is a question LE could've posed:

Barry, is it possible for a husband to ______ his wife?

I think we can guess his answer.

IMO he feels entitled in every regard.

JMO

Agree its MM1

Been pondering the timeline of events - she either didn't talk to Suzanne that night which makes me wonder why she said she had - don't want to tread that path tbh, feel she would have been manipulated by BM or she did speak to Suzanne but certainly not via Suzanne's phone, and not BM's either due to airplane mode, no landline which leaves maybe Facetime or WhatsApp calls from another device such as iPad etc?
If she did talk to Suzanne, at what time? Cos then I believe BM most likely has tranquilized her, imo, but maybe not between 2.44 - 2.48 time, unless effects of tranquilliser wore off by the time this alledged conversation occurred, but Suzanne would appear muddled/disoriented, wouldnt she? That would work for BM though, seeing though he states Suzanne drinks/takes drugs

Idk, it's bugging me now!

Ebm - just making it clear , I do believe BM chased Suzanne, tranquilized her, caused her death and hid her. Most likely starting approx 2.45pm.
Am just looking at comments documented in AA and considering scenarios around those comments

I assume that LE requested to see both daughters' cell phones. Wonder what the response was. JMO.

 

[paul onions]

I don’t think he’d get too far wearing an ankle monitor.

the AA has a mention where Barry says that Suzanne could get across the border. The pdf is not searchable on my iPad, so I don’t have the exact quote or page. But I took that to mean that he’s aware of a way to sneak across the border without customs. IMO he is still planning to do that. Whether he actually tries before trial I’m not sure, but if they find her body it’s almost a guarantee he’s gone.

 

[TIGER0822]

Without key facts BM will walk free: they do not have answers to:
Where did he kill her?
How did he kill her ? (chasing her around with a tranquilizer gun sounds like a story someone made up)
When (Time and date) did he kill her?
How did he transport the body?
Why is there no physical evidence?

Going to need more than a dart cap in the dryer to convict and a few trash runs which will be explained away by the defense.

I believe that he did it. I also believe the prosecutor is not even close to having the burden of proof. Without key answers it’s gonna be awfully hard to convince a jury. I hope that I am wrong.

All MOO

 

[Topppps]

You think that forensic files episode with the bike is enough to show premeditation from Barry?

 

[Topppps]

I want to find the smoking gun. Key questions
Where did he kill her?
How did he kill her ? (chasing her around with a tranquilizer gun sounds like a story someone made up)
When did he kill her?
How did he transport the body?
Why is there no physical evidence?

I guess you’re not used to circumstancial cases.

 

[jakat]

Is he wearing MAKE UP?!!!!!

I don't know about makeup, but it looks like he dyed his hair. His jailers probably let him out in the backyard so he could sun himself on nice days, so that's why he looks like he's wearing makeup. Then again, anything is possible. He's a master manipulator. Until he tried to manipulate LE. Fool.

 

[LietKynes]

I don’t think he’d get too far wearing an ankle monitor.

Yes I thought about that. ^^^

There was the case years ago of John Gardener who removed his ankle monitor before he killed his first victim... and it (the monitor removal) was never followed up on.
Caused a lot of trouble when the parents discovered this.

A Dateline episode ; "In Broad Daylight".

In Broad Daylight, Part 1

Dateline did a follow up on Chelsea King's case; she was also killed by J. Gardener ; "Vanished".

Vanished, Part 2

 

[Murphy1950]

There is absolutely evidence of DV. The controlling measures and spying are classic DV and I’m sure her friends and family can testify to that.

Not saying I disagree nyvictoria. That is why I said "documented" history, thinking LE. I'm thinking a jury is going to expect something in that regard when you're talking DV. I do get the difference, I've been here long enough to know.
