Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #94

[Love Never Fails]

Read up on the Iowa serial killer Michael Klunder, little bit of a drifter working at hog farms. Many believe his last victim(Kathlynn Shepard) met that demise in a very short time frame while the other girl was able to escape. Quite possibly more.

I need to edit, her body was found later but that was the thought. Gruesome

As the story was told from Italy, , the man screamed for mercy. I would want to be dead before you fed me to a pig. What torture! I guess the mafia enjoys seeing you suffer. A serial killer too.

I would have thought alarm bells would have first rung when BM first arrived back and exited his car and showed no interest in Suzanne and asked in a pathetic little voice, " lions? "

Yes. Enter Mountain Liar, stage left.

So Commander Alexander stated on record that they started writing the arrest warrant on May 11, 2020 but you say that’s not the case? Why? Doesn’t that make him untruthful?

He basically started writing the arrest affidavit when he began writing search warrants.

If you look back at the Frazee search warrants and the AA itself, you'll see that the warrants were a precursor to the AA itself.

I remember this, which is one reason I am willing to believe we see the bike helmet outlined in the bag BM is carrying in People's Exhibit 32. http://www.[link removed]/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/People-Exhibits-Prelim-Hearing_Page_30.png

I think so also.
I swear I can see an outline of the helmet inside the bag LOL
And I never am able to see anything in photos or at least what most people think they see.

This summary from the preliminary hearing is interesting. Chaffee county commander alexander walking confirmed they started writing the arrest warrant May 11, 2020. Let that set for a minute. The day after Suzanne is reported missing, they started writing the arrest warrant for Barry Morphew.

I was reading through many news article summaries from the PH just see what tidbits I could pull out.

The under sheriff was fishing at Foosies on Mother's Day and left about noon because it was crowded.

Anyone know if you turn down the road past where she would have crashed her bike to get to Foosies or is there another way in? If it was so crowded, then was that vehicle traffic on their road or cr225? Surely someone would see an abduction or bike wreck or a disoriented Suzanne after she "crashed"?

LE publicly revealing they started writing BMs arrest warrant May 11th concerns me.

Seems defense could use this as an example of LE not looking at other possibilities for SMs disappearance.

IMO evidence overwhelmingly points to Barry as responsible for Suzanne’s demise but why give merit to a claim many defenses make?
ETA:
Not concerned BM won't be convicted due to statement!
But why give IE reason to make noise circling back to it for 1/2 a day...

He deleted texts to and from SM, calls to SM and also calls to a bank and a contact “ Dan Monex”.
MG said that this was BM’s stock trader ( gold/silver?) and he spoke to him daily. Sounds like maybe BM had him on speaker phone if MG could hear the guy’s accent. JMO
Also Monex is listed in SM’s list of 50 grievances as BM had the account in his name only.
He was definitely trying to hide where the $$ was going from SM.Probably the source of arguments as SM said to him on the spy recording that 80% of their fights were about money. JMO

"Monex" is a trading company specializing in Precious Metals. I'm guessing Dan is his agent.

Judging from tweets at the first day of the Preliminary August 9, where AW was the first witness, the Commander did state that he started compiling data.

https://twitter.com/russellhaythorn/status/1424753669031989253?s=21
Investigator Alex Walker compiled information and wrote 130 page affidavit that led to arrest of #BarryMorphew. Walker says he started compiling data on Day 1 of Suzanne’s disappearance. The affidavit remains sealed and much of what led to the arrest remains a mystery.


When Defense cross examined AW they said something to the effect of So you admit you had BM in your sights from day 1. Trying to imply that LE wasn’t even going to consider any other scenarios ( which we know is not true).

I don’t believe Commander Walker started preparing a statement to take to a Judge to arrest BM that quickly.

There was a ton of data to compile in the first 24 hours that certainly looked suspicious.

Bike scene looked staged
SM last phone ping being so early that morning
Statements from MM2 bf about SM riding habits
Husband being far away from the scene and having someone else report her missing
The reports from the Officers who took BM to the house and the behavior they observed

Im probably forgetting a few more.

Exactly. And that data was used to justify search warrants, and ultimately appeared in the AA.

You need probable cause to obtain search warrants, which is what he would have begun compiling immediately.

So the early stages of the AA began coming together right away, but in the form of search and seizure requests based on evidence.

It would be better if he lied than if it is the truth otherwise it plays right into defense’s argument that looked for no other possibilities.

 

[Love Never Fails]

Ok I was just trying to understand. So basically it’s a compilation of the notes they take and evidence they find. So they were onto him at the very beginning. It wasn’t that he was their only focus. They just knew nothing was “right”. And all the while, he thought he was outsmarting everyone.
That makes me happy.

Not really. It’s just that all the things he did were so stupid, the evidence kept coming back in a circle to BM. Big difference.

Exactly. They had to rule out the mountain lion of course. I’m sure that’s all BM wanted to talk about. Oh they had to rule out the stranger who staged her bike. Then of course he had to explain why he lied to the Ritters and didn’t take LEs call from his hotel bed. Oh yeah, that’s because he was repairing a wall with his workers who weren’t even there, without equipment, when he wasn’t even allowed to work on Sunday.

They probably should have used different words like “I started compiling case notes” on May 11.”

Its really a moot point. IE cant keep beating a dead horse. Any investigator worth his salt would have been negligent to ignore all the strange things BM said and the way he acted. He is his own worst enemy. Yet he kept it coming.

Law enforcement also did their due diligence, and spoke to every person Barry accused.

Imagine being sick enough to accuse Suzanne's own family, and some guy who sells CBD oil at the local farmer's market.

Word is they haven't yet spoken to the mountain Lion however, but hopefully they are able to conduct some sort of interview before trial.

It's a shame it's not a tiger, as they'd merely have to leave out a bowl of Frosted Flakes.

 

[303gmf]

I am curious about what prompted MG to say that specific statement. Were they talking about true crime, was a true crime podcast playing in the truck.. what were they talking about that day that lead to her talking about that?

Hoping her testimony at trail will clear up much, she and Cassidy are 2 I can’t wait to hear

It's not LE's fault that, not only was Barry quickly their primary person of interest, Barry eliminated all possibility of anyone else elbowing in.

In the hours between Suzanne's busy cellular presence halting and her phone last pinging/powering down (approximately 15 hours), Barry insists he and he alone was with Suzanne.

LE can't invent POIs.

LE can't even get a warrant to match DNA with a partial match sample! What judge would sign off on that?

Again, it's not LE's fault that all avenues led back to Barry.

[Megnut]

I don't have the AA in front of me but do you all recall Barry responding to Suzanne's "I'm done"? Is that when he texted, "I love you, Suzanne."? And then there was the hiking text and the coming home text. And the who could cheat on an angel as beautiful as you.

Perhaps Barry wanted to populate his texts with keepers so when he deleted the others, his text log wouldn't look altered.

Same reason for his assorted calls?

MG Mentioned Death & Pigs to BM?

Following up with the recent 20 year anniversary of Canada's pig farmer -- the largest crime scene in the history of British Columbia.
2/7/22 It has been 20 years since police raided Robert Pickton’s B.C. pig farm | Globalnews.ca

Thanks @Seattle1.
Other cases w (1 or more, iirc) vic's fed to pigs. Maybe MG mentioned ^ or one of two these cases below. Both have been featured on true crime shows (links below).

Copelands. Convicted of killing five drifters, 1986-89, at their farm in MO. Suspected of several other deaths.
Husband Ray: "Cattle farmer; thief, swindler, forger, killer."
Wife Fay: "Factory Worker, Motel Maid."
1990 -1991. Convictions, Murder.
Ray and Faye Copeland - Wikipedia

More recently.
OR. pig farmer, 2012-13 killed 2 handymen on farm.
2015. Convictions: Murder Abuse of corpse, Fraud
Susan Monica - Wikipedia

I recall a couple other cases like this, but not enough detail to locate online. Regardless, it happens. Tragic cases, victims meeting their end this way. my2ct

You said it best. Lol. You always do.

I’m looking forward to trial when Suzanne’s family and friends, the CBD guy, and Barry’s own former employees stare him down. Surely reporters will take notice. I suppose the lion wont be able to make it. Too bad. Barry gave the lion bad name and I’m sure the lion would like to thank Barry in person.
That’s a hungry lion, just she and Barry. (It’s gotta be a female lion. You don’t mess with her babies. So she would know he shouldn’t mess with Suzanne’s either.). JMHO
