Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #91

[Love Never Fails]

MOO he will be facing BM in person in court.
Amazing he carried off an affair. Maybe his wife knew.

I hope his marriage has survived his affair with Suzanne. The only way it could is if he was/is one hundred percent honest with his wife. I don’t know her. I wish her and their children well. But he’d best be completely honest with her now because I’m guessing both defense and prosecution will be brutal in their questioning. I actually hope some of his family is with him for support.

It is also possible that she takes some comfort from the knowledge that JL didn't actually care enough about Suzanne to speak up straight away when she ceased communicating.

What plays worse-- staging the bike or claiming he was shooting chipmunks?

My son had the Rona, so I am a little behind. I’ve still been silent in the background, just curious from everyone how important is it that Cahill lied on the stand confirmed by the state?? I seriously feel this is important regardless of the evidence! Will this change anything about the evidence of the case!?!

The defense will want you to think so.

I think the trial will proceed without issue, on that front.

I don't remember where it's published, but there was a to do list in Suzanne's handwriting including washing MM1s sheets. We had a big thing about it a thread or two back. Suzanne intended for the girls to stay even if MM1 didn't.

Unless she was just washing them because she or BM were sleeping in that bed. Doesn't mean anyways staying other than them. Moo

I don't think the implication is he lied about this case. It sounds as if he had a negligent firearm discharge in his home, and lied during that investigation (to internal affairs).

So he did something stupid, then lied about it to save his job.

At first, I thought the letter was standard practice but If you listen to LS YouTube video burge stated that Cahill either lied about facts to this case. Let me look at the time on the video, which in my opinion was silly they didn’t need to hide facts because this case had enough before that

 

[Chingaling]

I’m also looking forward to to seeing the LE interviews with Barry. Aside from his, “Oh Suzanne…” and the TD video, he’s said next to nothing publicly.

IMO SO will be a good witness for the state. She can testify that Suzanne was a no show for the wedding. An occasion that she was looking forward to being a part of and one that she wouldn’t miss, unless she was physically unable to watch. That set off alarm bells for SO. She’ll be able to add context to all of their text exchanges.

SO can testify about Barry sneaking up on the house when SO was staying with Suzanne. Barry’s excuse. that he was smelly from hunting and wanted to get in there to shower before anyone saw/smelled him, was feeble at best. She can also attest to Barry getting all worked up when he couldn’t reach Suzanne for a few minutes. She was using the rest room. Both incidents are evidence of his stalker-like behavior. He’d have to testify to explain away this behavior. I’m pretty sure his attorneys won’t want him testifying. Maybe he’ll insist?

I’m very interested in seeing whether the girls are called to testify for either side. It won’t serve the defense to call them and open them up to cross. The state probably won’t call them because, at this point, it’s looking doubtful that they’ll be cooperative. It also can come across as harassing the victims.

They don't need to call MM2, they have her texts to MH2, so no point in it.

I have been thinking through a different idea this afternoon. Looking at the evidence just released and slide 86 is photos of Barry's truck. There is a closer up photo of the bed of the truck that looks like a box of some sort in it.. maybe a tool box? Going to go back and look through Jeff and Suzanne's communication from 1-3 that day again, but what if Barry tranquilized her before he left for this errand? I read that the tranquillizer lasts for 6-8 hours for bears. She sent the photo text at 2:11.. but could that have been Barry? He texts her did you leave? Just seems so odd like he is trying to lay an alibi that he was gone and she wasn't answering him or something.

The pool chemical message is odd too seeing they were on the floor of SM vehicle.

MOO because he was in charge and the limited DNA on the dash seemingly was not appropriately followed up on by him, and he had a separate discharge issue that he lied about.

Thank you so much @AmandaReckonwith! Really really appreciate you!!!

Ditto

In LS video at 1:22:29 burges testified “there was frustration with Cahill within the unit that he didn’t testify to some things during the prelim.” This in my opinion suggests he isn’t being truthful which is frustrating because at the end of the day the DNA is so minute why even lie or odmit facts. I want BM to be found guilty more than anything but the fact that the states own witness testifys that he wasn’t being truthful at the prelim, so frustrating and completely avoidable!!!!!!

I just checked, and we won't have to wait long until we know the specifics here:

Court for #BarryMorphew will resume on Tuesday, Feb. 1. We will learn about the possibility of a venue change, hear testimony from former CBI Agent Cahill and they’ll discuss length of trial.

I think it's the defense that is alleging Cahill was dishonest in his testimony at the PH but they are saying the same about the prosecutor. Seemed to me they're pushing the idea that the state withheld evidence about the identity of the partial DNA match. I think it's possible that Cahill testified information from AZ indicated there was no match when the CBI had not yet received the letter with the same result until after he testified. In other words, Cahill most likely relied on the word of somebody he knew in AZ, and the paper trail followed albeit later than the date he testified. I think the defense would like to make something about nothing. JMO.

ETA: I think the internal allegations included Cahill telling others he was handling something, that he knew people in AZ, and more like he wasn't following the department checklist.

*anyone was. Darn auto correct.

What plays worse-- staging the bike or claiming he was shooting chipmunks?

Staging the bike... and by that I don't just mean taking it there and tossing it off the side of the road, but also his involvement in urging MM1 to call SM to wish her Happy MD and also his involvement in suggesting that his neighbor, JR check whether SM's bike was missing after JR checked the house and could not find SM. And then he had JR call 911 rather than make the call himself.

BM has a pattern of using the women around him to insulate himself from potential conflict or scrutiny. He did it with his daughter when he and SM were in conflict. He did it with his daughters and JR the afternoon/evening of May 10, 2020, and he did it with his youngest daughter when Lauren and her fellow journalist came to his door with legitimate questions.

Hope your son is fully recovered and doing well! My nephew who’s like a son to me spent New Years Eve in the ER with Covid and it was very scary. Thankfully he is doing fine now.
I’m anxious to hear what what happens when Cahill takes the stand on February 1st.
It worries me that Walker said that everyone assumed that Cahill was on top of the Codis matches in Arizona and that it “ fell through the cracks “.

Defense turns to the unknown male DNA found on #SuzanneMorphew glove compartment.

Commander says he was notified about the DNA match after #BarryMorphew was arrested. He says Agent Cahill told everyone that he was on it and they would get to the bottom of it.

https://twitter.com/ashleykktv/status/1485688086428323849?s=21
Defense asks Walker if he talked to Cahill about the Tempe match. He says he doesn't believe so.

He said that it sounded like Cahill was reaching out to people about the matches because he had friends and colleagues in the area who could help.

Thank you so much @Cindizzi, he’s doing better now! Unfortunately I am a social worker so I can’t clear my schedule so I will be anxiously awaiting the results of that day!!! Lucky I have all you guys to fill me in!
