Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #84

dbm, because of technical error

 

[FromGermany1]

I think both Barry and Sho had murder burners, and got rid of them in May 2020. This may be why we have limited info on location data of their main phones.

Thankfully both are a bit dimwitted and did strange and suspicious things on their main phones also. I guess it's hard to remember to keep murder business only on the burner. Sho deleting phone info in front of LE was basically holding a flashing neon sign over her head saying, "please look into this further, it is highly incriminating."

bbm
WHY didn't they tear the phone out of her hand?? I can't understand.

Of no surprise, I believe it was the DM that first introduced a female neighbor as Jeanne R:

Friends said they asked neighbor Jeanne Ritter, 70, to check on Suzanne when they couldn’t get hold of her and it was Ritter who later called the police to report her missing.

Ritter declined to comment when approached by DailyMail.com.

Summer Stehle, 43, the stepmother of 17-year-old Macy’s best friend, said: ‘The neighbors up there are spread pretty far apart but the only reason they found out [she was missing] is because the girls called the neighbors and said, ''we never heard from Mom – can you go check on her?''

ETA: AA pg 3. 911 Dispatcher first identified caller as "Scott Ritter" and AA correction as "Martin Ritter."

Husband Martin phoned dispatch to report SM missing and his wife Jeanne went to PP to search for SM.

Martin Scott R. and Jeanne with a double surname. I think, "Gene" originated because of "Jeanne" thought of spoken as "Gene" by some writer/journalist or his source.
This from a German person, who has no idea, how to speak "Jeanne" in the right way (because it seems to be french).

Quick question. How would connecting SD earlier benefit the prosecution case? It feels to me it would weaken the case because it would introduce possible other scenarios. Since we are past the preliminary and on to trial I am not seeing the connection of benefit to the case. How would they introduce any information if confirmed and how does it fit the prosecution that Barry, enraged by the possibility of divorce, planned and murdered Suzanne.

@Momofthreeboys Quick answer - it would prove BM lied IMO MOO

 

[FromGermany1]

No confirmation. There was an unidentified electronic device that connected to Barry's iPhone 91 times (page 42 of 129) from November 30th, 2019 until May 12, 2020 (the day Barry was digging in the trash at the Poncha Springs market.

Wow.

 

[FromGermany1]

ITA, SD's cell records were definitely examined by LE. As well, I think FB's cell phone records were examined too.

Wonder if those cell phones were close to each other at any point on the 9th or the 10th?

JMO

Who is FB? Her Ex? I don't know his name, sorry.

Just wanting to pick all your brains. What do you make of the statement in the AA that there was no cell communication between BM and SM for 3 months between February 7 and May 4? Is this even possible?

I began to wonder if they were already separated and BM was staying at the Cushman property. Is that when he went “spying” on SM during SO’s visit? It would explain that LE can’t prove BM and SD were intimately involved as there would be no need to communicate much even on a burner because she would be making her usual “cleaning” run . It would also explain why SD’s cell info couldn’t definitively prove there was an affair because she was just there cleaning? Although, they would know she lied about not meeting him until October 2020 at the dumpster. She could maintain that although she cleaned at the Cushman property, she never actually met BM because he was at “work?”

Did BM and SM try to reconcile a week or so prior only for Suzanne to realize it could never work and then the “I’m done” text? I’m beginning to suspect the DA has something more than what’s in that AA that will cast more light on what exactly was going on in BM and SM’s relationship just before she was murdered and perhaps cast some doubt on what BM and SD were up to?

I have to wonder if SD knows he’s guilty. She may not have participated but she knows something and like the infamous KK, took some kind of sick pleasure in SM’s demise. If this is the case, it would explain why they are still together. He’s stuck with her.

JMTs at the moment.

I searched the affidavit (page 33) and it says that was the "first logged call", as opposed to "communication", which would include text messages. I imagine any communication during that period was via text.

Had there been a separation or something, Suzanne would have told JL, SO, and her daughters would know. I think it's very unlikely.

Although I'm open to SD and BM being involved in a relationship prior to the murder, I just done see any evidence of that. I also don't think it would factor in to the motive aspect, as that seems absolutely rock solid to me.

Barry knew about the affair, I have no doubt about that. He knew she was serious about divorce, and may have believed that this time it was for real (she had a plan, and a person to help her).

Of course she didn't, not really. He didn't know that though.

 

[FromGermany1]

Agreed @Ontario Mom
I’m not even believing the “met at a dumpster” story - I think the fibs are getting tangled and confused with real events. It must be SO hard to remember everything

How can the Prosecution prove SD and BM met prior to Suzanne going missing? Phone or GPS records?
Hmm .. can a mobile phone tell you when you entered someone’s phone number into your own phone contacts, an exact date?

MG, who was "not the other woman", but got suspected as a mistress publicly, maybe knows (I think: has to know), since when BM had found his soulmate SD.

Thanks for clarifying that it read “logged call.” I still find it very strange that a couple only communicated through text messaging for three months? I agree, if there was involvement between BM & SD it doesn’t add to motive on BM’s part. For him it was all about the money and appearances. I think SD knew the marriage was in trouble and made a move. Just a feeling, nothing more.

SD's and BM's anniversary coming up soon, from the time their eyes first locked across a dumpster. What a story to tell in the future to others.
Wasn't this alledged first meeting around the time BM shared those cards/letters from Suzanne to him, to prove just how much she loved him?

He used the week for First Meetings with Purpose? (My blaspheming day today, it seems. Can't help myself, if BM is the theme.)

 

[Scootie98]

Was it determined that BM had a burner phone or a second phone?

I am wondering if LE has recovered the deleted messages from SD's cell phone....that she deleted in front of them?

Had I just drunk coffee, then my laugh would have been dangerous. Thank you for the wording, haha!

Wonder, if he presented himself again as the "dumpster-police" for someone, who he suspected to be stingy with their waste charges ......
ETA: It was on a Sunday, afaik.

Francis Bach reported a suspicious car on Mother’s Day. He can’t be further sleuthed here (at this time).... take it from there.

Well said @Lyanna!

Paints a fitting image in my mind’s eye of the two lovebirds (future jailbirds.)

 

[steeltowngirl]

cattlekate, I agree with your last 2 sentences.
It would be great to read Psychiatrists reports about this specimen, 'blaming' so many in his path.

Yikes. I would want an exorcist on standby for the deep dive into BM’s psyche.

I can believe that a couple no longer in love, or going through a rough patch, unable to verbally communicate without getting into a fight, would prefer to communicate via text. Mine lasted almost a year. So yes, I do believe it can happen. I’ve lived through it and, thankfully, the rough patch is no longer.
