Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #95

[Murphy1950]

I agree most of his friends have been used. But some if it seems to be willingly. Not cool.

Fair question @Love Never Fails I disagree about the willingly, but just my thoughts based on my own life experiences and knowing someone else, who I believed in for years, they were that good.

I do think Barry is that good at being "cunning". Excellent at it and he had a lifetime of practice. People were finally catching on to him in Indiana, he had been able to fool so many for a very long time but it was finally coming to light… hence the necessary move to Colorado. As for the TN/GD/MG

Trevor sure abandoned his role as family spokesperson awful quickly. I too wondered why he got involved with the Morgan business. I am thinking that Barry presented two stories initially, depending on who he was talking to.

Trevor and the guys got she may have run off, she hasn’t been happy, could be the cancer re-bout, I don’t really know, someone could have talked her into going, I know she’s been friending strangers lately, maybe she didn’t feel loved anymore that’s my fault, but we want her back, all is forgiven.… (hence, Trevor thinking that “no questions asked” was meant for Suzanne and what a great guy his uncle is.) Thought it was interesting in one of Trevor's interviews, "Suzanne if you're hearing this" George on the other hand, just feeling badly for his friend.

The church group, less likely to buy infidelity, got the mountain lion story.

As to Morgan and Trevor/George’s involvement. It was awfully early on. I can hear Barry

“She’ll raise hell (Morgan) if she’s not paid but now it will look bad…I don’t care if she talks to police…I really don’t, but she is a drama queen, I know Morgan. I’m afraid she’ll set me/us up, for attention/drama if nothing else. I can’t handle this right now. Listen, we don't need this"

Barry's way of distancing Morgan...

And they (George and Trevor) thinking they are helping….go off to visit Morgan and pay her. Who knows what was actually said? Later, Trevor has some light bulb moments.

Interesting article on Fox 21 news page this morning called:
We are Salida-Gateway to the Rockies
Some local flavor and one of our witnesses interviewed
I’d link if phone knew how

Agree with all you said but it’s all a guess at this point. That’s why I would like to hear from him. He was with BM’s nephew when the two tried to shake down MG and threaten her with not getting her pay from Barry and told her she didn’t have to turn over her phone to LE. Are you willing to give him a pass for that? I am not. He should have known the moment Barry asked him to do something so wrong that Barry was not so innocent.

I was under the impression that they went to MG to let her know she would be paid but not in a way that would look suspect. I do believe she said later that she was paid for the time in Broomfield. I think I would have also told someone if I was in their position that they did not need to speak with the police or turn over their phone voluntarily. That is pretty normal for anyone who might be interviewed by LE and is sound advice IMO. I think we would need to know the exact conversation that took place before jumping to the conclusion that they were "shaking down" MG. So I do not perceive, without benefit of knowing the exact conversation that they did anything wrong in reaching out to MG. I'm sure she was concerned on some level if she would be paid in all the turmoil.

That really weird, contrived quiver in his voice makes me giggle every time I watch the video. He must have googled how to be a concerned husband of a missing wife for that one.

I've done the same then feel guilty concerning the circumstances...but my oh my the bad acting!!

Yep, seems curious?
Since not full time residents I wonder how well they knew Barry?

Maybe Barry was responsible for landscaping, dirt digging or snow removal at the Cushman’s.

I think the safe bet is to assume everything he said is false, until proven otherwise.

"Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus."

[Indulge aside/sea story?]
Boy, was this a useful ratio decidendi when adjudicating inflated/specious foreign claims back in the day!
[ TY!]

I'm feeling more and more sure that Barry and Sho had a relationship before this somehow. I think he was sneaky about it and he often left and stayed gone with his phone off. It seems he wouldn't need to use his phone to communicate with her if he had that other phone and he could storm off any time he wanted and be gone for however long he wanted with his phone off..

I've been sure for a long time now, as sure as I can be without video. I also think her fiance may have found out about it which led to their breakup.
IMO

Oh, in a Dollar Store there are many things to buy, which a husband could have needed for disappearing his wife - AND super cheap. Makes sense, if BM made a visit. Hopefully there is a checkout slip or a very good memory of the employee!

Yup.

 

[jakat]

If I could be LE for a day:

LE me: Barry, you say you got Suzanne's bike out of her RR because she asked you to?

Barry: yes

LE me: Barry. Why was her bike in her RR?

Wait for it

Barry: because she dri.... well, exactly.

And we're done.

Here's another to add to your braggart list:
And my wife? ---she had an orgasm EVERT time we had sex....

Not with him she didn't. She faked it.

From what I can tell...everyone or just about everyone they talked to is there as I mentioned earlier. I believe they did talk to Lauren. There was that strange period after she called him on the phone and then the confrontation at the condo when his daughter was upset. And that is only 2 times I suspect they had a conversation with her. I'm sure she was doing her share of knocking on doors as an investigative reporter. They talked to non-media you tuber/videocasters also from what I saw on the list that had been taping and looking around the area. I'm wondering if some of the names that aren't easily recognizable were people that were on the "people's search" in the fall with Suzanne's brother that were dog handlers or who turned over information they found or called in tips on which they followed up. They have allowed 4 weeks for trial so clearly not all 500 people on that list are going to be in court testifying and that is only the prosecution side...defense might have witnesses also so even if they could get through 6-8 a day which is pretty speedy with testimony and cross there won't be anywhere near 500. It's all going to depend on what prosecution will be allowed to use as evidence I would think and what theory they are going with - if they are sticking with the dart gun theory or have modified their theory. If they aren't going to use the bobcat for example, they don't need the DSI guy that helped with the blade change IMO. If they aren't going to use the search at the river house there are quite a few people in investigators and including the lady who heard noises she couldn't quite remember which night but close to the date Suzanne went missing they may not need or call as another example in my opinion.

BBM
I realize I'm just coming in at the end of some long conversations.

However, I just want to add: where would we be without Lauren and her tenacity??!

I thank God there are reporters, let alone women, who are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to get the truth. She alone, for what she has done deserves a Bam!!
When I grow up I want to be her!

As for prosecution and what they "are allowed to use".... no doubt in my mind they will get the job done!

I remember like it was yesterday, when I hiked the hills of Mark Redwine's house. Many of us were distraught, tired and cold... and after coming home I can't tell you how many times I cried myself to sleep for a boy I did not even know.

So, I'll tell you one thing---we knew he was guilty and we knew he killed his son and we knew we were going to find his body... and we knew Mark was going to be proclaimed guilty.

I don't want to hear about the shortcomings, weaknesses, or foibles of Lauren. She has got done what so many of us wish to God we could do on our own.

She is fighting for Suzanne, that's all I need to know.

Do we know if he is on the witness list? FB? thanks in advance.

 

[marylamby]

Dollar Store (on the witness list)

You can get Valentine's Day cards 2 for $1.

Just saying.

I can't stop laughing. Thank you!

OMG, I just saw the tracphone!!! That one nearly killed me. Get it, girl!

 

[303gmf]

Maybe Barry was responsible for landscaping, dirt digging or snow removal at the Cushman’s.

My thoughts also
Borrowed a vehicle with his access as trusted neighbor is my guess

 

[Momofthreeboys]

Maybe. I know he worked on the subdivision gates. I don't believe Barry does snow removal...but you never know...maybe he uses the Bobcat in the winter but my guess if he did, he'd have a big ol Boss V Plow attached to his old truck and M1 would be driving something different

He sure is!

She was told she didn't have to cooperate, she did cooperate, and then Barry fired her.

Of course if Barry had nothing to hide, then he had nothing to fear by her talking to law enforcement.

No one was looking out for her; they were looking out for Barry.

 

[jakat]

In my opinion, George Jr is 400 tours, and George Sr is his father. (But I'm not 100 on that).

Thank you. I didn't know there were two.

It seems he wouldn't need to use his phone to communicate with her if he had that other phone and he could storm off any time he wanted and be gone for however long he wanted with his phone off..

You and me both @justtrish. It makes no sense that Barry would accuse Sho's daughter and boyfriend of doing something to Suzanne, if he didn't even know her. How does that even work? How did he know Sho even had a daughter with a boyfriend?

And how would Sho, and much less her boyfriend, know if "a strange car" was around Puma Path on the weekend Suzanne disappeared? Weren't those properties rentals? If rentals, then surely there are always "strange" cars around the area! Why would Sho's boyfriend even go so far as to go on the record and say that? Why would Sho tell LE that? It's very, very interesting that those are the 2 people that saw anything unordinary around the area that weekend.

I'll never be convinced they didn't know each other before May 9, and I'll be shocked if she isn't involved in this, even in a small way.

I can think of one very pertinent reason Barry might have been interested in a cleaner...

Imo.
