Today I have been wondering if BM had access to an office space for his work.
Either in CO or Indiana.
I know there was the "office" area off the kitchen at PP, just thinking of maybe an off -property space.

He knew where the laundry basket was. He pointed and stood back and the officer chose what to take while he was retrieving the plastic bag.
I agree that it’s not odd that he went straight to where her clothing was. As the Defense pointed out, he was told not to touch anything and just point out some clothing that they could use for the sniffing dogs.
What seems to be odd is his demeanor on entering his home for the first time after realizing his wife is missing.
He doesn’t seem at all “ frantic “ .
I find it odd and so did trained LE professional.

#BarryMorphew is wearing a long sleeve red and blue flannel. This is the first time we are watching video of inside the Morphew home. He heads into the home and takes a left into a closet and points to clothing then Barry is seen going to the kitchen to get a plastic ziploc bag.

BarryMorphew had pointed to black bicycle shorts which they put in a ziploc bag. The undersheriff also said there were riding gloves wadded up on the floor. Morphew is escorted out of the home. He was in the home from 9:37 p.m. until 9:40 p.m.

The undersheriff said this was the first time #BarryMorphew was able to go into the home. He is not asking any questions or looking around in the home. He isn't trying to call #SuzanneMorphew phone. The last place he saw her alive and isn't asking questions or looking at the bed.

So there would be no flushing a port at home. Nope. Nada.
I don’t know if we know that necessarily. But people can flush and clean their own ports. I have friends who went through breast cancer and 2 did it themselves. I have zero idea if the sheath for the needle in the dryer was similar in shape and size to a sheath for Barry’s needles. But it crossed my mind that it was a possibility since it had Suzanne’s DNA and not Barry.

A lot of things around that house didn’t have BM’s DNA on it.
Perhaps he made sure of it by wearing gloves.

The space off the kitchen was Suzanne's "office". I suspect she probably collected his receipts and filed them so they were available come tax time. I doubt he let her actually do the books, then she might know where the money was going.

I just find that bizarre because he kept talking about evidence not existing.

It's such a huge tell, because that's something only the killer would know.
Just like he said that LE messed up evidence at the bike scene.

Having been on chemo for many years it has never been an option for me to flush my own port, something done by medical professionals.
I can't even imagine why self-flushing would be an option considering the risk of infection.

Do we even know whether Suzanne had a port or whether she received treatment through it? So many assumptions required when one tries to make a case from lies.

Edit.
Although indeed we do not know whether Suzanne had a port, a quick google search revealed that a nurse or other medical professional will flush the port both prior and after chemo treatment. Was this your experience? Thanks in advance. I don’t know of anyone who has had Hodgkins particularly otherwise I would ask whether a port was necessary but I think it’s safe to assume she likely had one due to her recurring cancer. Again I could be wrong. Thanks for your input and I hope you’re doing well.

If Suzanne did have a port it was likely still inserted since she was going for a final maintenance chemo on May 11. Barry’s story about the chemicals interacting with her chemo makes clearer sense to me if she did indeed still have a port. IMO He injected those chemicals into her port after removing her from the property while killing her without leaving evidence. Again I know it’s an out there theory but it is the only way I can make sense of his voluntary statement that she mixed chemicals and they interacted with her chemo causing her an anxious state. Those were his words.
Surely if an accidental chemical something had happened in Indiana, someone would know but they didn’t happen in Indiana. LE knows whether Suzanne still had her port but we don’t. Perhaps MMB or SO would know. Certainly JL would. IMO
EBM to change who to would

Because Barry isn't thinking of digital, ping/cell hits, automobile telematics or any electronic data at all. He is only thinking what a hunter would consider...blood or cadaverine, and he knew that wasn't there at puma path.

He may have thought that way on May 13.
But by June 26 he had wised up to what LE was looking into.

Love this insight Cindizzi, it is so interesting to see the stages.
As early as May 13th only 3 days later he couldn't understand why he wasn't cleared...
page 21 of the AA

Barry, consistently, throughout the interview, questioned why he had not "been cleared" in the investigation. Used snipping tool FWIW...

Ridiculous how he thought he should be “cleared” within 3 days.

By March 10, 2021 he’s saying there is no evidence of him disposing of her, Just the fact he used that word gives me the willies.

It's a super cold way to be speaking about your missing wife. Then again, this is the same guy who immediately assumed she'd been mauled to death by a mountain Lion.

Office Space? Office Work?

@sk716 How much traditional "office type work" does a business like BM's require?*

Legit business reasons
to lease/buy office space, in IN. or CO., in addition to home space? I'm drawing a blank. Anyone? Thx in adv.
__________________________
* Enough to warrant separate space?
No showroom space like a car dealer.
No factory to produce the widgets, like a manufacturer.
An inventory of plants or rock & hardscape materials does not require office space.

Some contractors have office space separate from a home office. They like to have a place to go.
Also, did BM always store his equipment, such as trailers, Bobcats, cement mixers, etc. at his residence? Or did he have space somewhere that he kept the larger equipment? Is there more equipment of his out there somewhere that is not on anyone's radar?

Barry shows absolutely no fear or concern regarding Suzanne. He considers inquiring about the bike and phone but never Suzanne. If the LE camera videos are permitted at trial which I assume they will be because they are legit evidence, Barry had indeed sealed the deal. He is done and no more steaks or kills of any kind. IMO

Initially I assumed there must be a business location or at least a storage area for all his landscaping equipment -- excavators, graders, survey transit levels etc. But then all we ever heard of was the one Bobcat and a few hand tools. Did he even have other equipment, trailers full of tools like you say? What about leftover materials like extra brick, sand, pea gravel, etc. If more than was needed for a job was ordered, you'd think he would want a place to keep all that, especially if small jobs might come along that could be done entirely from his "stash" of leftover hardscaping.

Yes, Auntie Cip, that is what I'm trying to say. Thank you.

From the beginning of this case no one was able to find a website or even a Yellow Page listing for BM’s business in Salida.
Which means he had no showroom for walk-in business.
Sounds like what he had was a business license and his wife did the invoicing and typed up 1099’s once a year for his workers.
He told LE that in addition to being owner of his business that he also was a subcontractor for DSI.
He said MG was his main employee and she had only worked for him about a year.
So I don’t think he had another office anywhere.
Good question though about where he kept his equipment and supplies.
