Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #96

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.

Perhaps his friends at DSI had extra free storage space. Why pay money when you can use someone else’s space for free? Maybe another reason he wanted those employees gone on Mother’s Day. May have even been some of the stuff he threw away in the trash dumps. Great idea on your part. IMO

Landscaping Equipment?
Besides the Bobcat, flatbed, and pickup, what landscaping equipment did BM own?
Enough to operate an ongoing, year-round business, to producing a living?

Any big equipment?
When other big equipment is needed short term, are rentals available, close enough & at rates that can still be profitable for a landscaper?

ETA: Sorry, looks like I'm overlapping a bit re this question.

OP had interesting point with where Barry would have left extra stuff. Likely he had room at PP for equipment but her point is valid that many landscapers have leftovers of everything that you wouldn’t throw away but reserve for future use to save costs. Again my thought is DSI. They had room and Barry may have had need. As I previously stated this might explain his many trash dumps and maybe some of those materials were used in the burial or coverup. Who would notice if spare stuff was removed from a storage area? Again DSI people have the answers as does LE. IMO

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.

Thanks for the good wishes, friends. I'm a 28-year breast cancer survivor dealing with extensive metastasis at this point. Happy to say I just finished a treatment that destroyed three and a half of four liver tumors!

Yes, my port is flushed before and after any systemic treatment is done with great measures taken by a nurse to clean the area and avoid infection. I directed a cancer support center for twenty years and knew no one who personally flushed a port at home.

Certain chemotherapy drugs can destroy arm veins so ports are installed in the chest. Many drugs can be put through arm veins without any long-lasting damage.....by a nurse, I might add.

Thank you for sharing with us, @MemPat.
Continued success in the battle! (Inserted gigantic heart)

Chipmunks. Seriously. That's got to be a first.

I'm thinking that we need to give the chipmunks a special role in our upcoming grand choral performance - a verse of something sung just by them. They deserve it.

Thanks. My late mom was a 27 year dialysis patient and she had a fistula which I am sure you understand is somewhat related to a port via a different method. I sustained a liver injury in 2018 so I have a good idea of what you’re enduring on that end at least. I know you’ve been around here for a long while and certainly appreciate your thoughts and input.
Do you believe Suzanne likely would have retained a port until her maintenance treatment was finished? My experience with all cancer patients is the port is removed in a timely manner once remission has been verified. Thanks again!! Continued prayers for you and positive thoughts. I think I remember you as an avid follower on Jennifer’s thread. I only followed there because I wasn’t healthy enough to post but also keep her and her family within prayers and positive thoughts. Thanks again and your response is much appreciated?

 

[marylamby]

I'm playing catch-up so I have not read all the post yet, however, have you ever seen a cancer port needle? You will see how small in size that is compared to a tranquilizer dart. There is no way one can be mistaken for the other.

In no way has the tranquilizer dart theory 'crumbled'. Who's to say he didn't have another dart gun, which he could've dumped in any number of places - not just his trash dumps. Or, he could have administered the tranquilizer himself.
There's a reason why he admitted he disposed of tranquilizer darts at one of his dumps. He offered that up all on his own.
Why would he even do that? Were they spent darts or tranquilizer needles, I don't know.
Being that he's such a fan of the dating dumpster, why not use that one?
IMO

Thank you for your kind words, M2C. I'm so sorry for all you and your mom had to endure. Did you have to get your liver "mapped"? That was an adventure! I hope you're healed and doing well.

Suzanne may have kept her port if there were no problems with it. I kept mine during a long remission period and was glad since I did end up needing it again. It gets janky at times but is holding up well right now.

Yes, Jennifer's thread kept me on edge for a long time and I'm still hoping Fotis' girlfriend has to pay a price. The Patrick Frazee case was another that got me. It was good to see it end well as I hope Barry's does. I'm keeping the faith with all of you here!

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...

I would love to know what went through Barry’s mind when those LE vehicles pulled him over to make an arrest. I wonder if he had a Chris Watts like moment like when Chris realized the neighbor had him on video taking his dead wife to his truck.

Chris Watts' body language at that moment was the best! Maybe he and Barry can be admitted to the Brilliant Criminals Hall of Fame together!

The problem for me is he didn’t have confirmation she had an affair until 7 months after she disappeared. We don’t know if her spy pen caught him in an affair but LE could not find evidence. She complained the commodities account was in his name only but investigators found she had accounts in her name only. None of which points toward Barry planning a murder it is more telling of the disintegration of their marriage. The data is telling us she stopped communicating 15 minutes or so before Barry returned home so investigators don’t know what she was doing. These are weaknesses in the case for me. So now I am left with what was going on during the late afternoon through night and I have to wait for the telematics testimony and cross. Were they fighting? Did he murder her? How does that get proven? I know too much about bad internet and bad cell service and towers far far away so need to wait for experts to explain the cell phone data that day and night. Broomfield is interesting because he did have a habit of running from fights per Suzanne and we know from Grusing in the arrest warrant that both of them had gone after each other in a physical manner before. So was it a spur of the moment alibi or was he running from the fight? And how do they prove it was an alibi? The bike and helmet are critical and jurors will have to believe that Barry dumped both which is strong evidence if they can convince the jury she was gone before morning since Barry said he was home until morning. Just things I ponder about a jury that knows very little about the case.

"The problem for me is he didn’t have confirmation she had an affair until 7 months after she disappeared."
That's what he says. Barry has lied more times than I can count.

"We don’t know if her spy pen caught him in an affair but LE could not find evidence."
Barry downloaded the 'MONKEY' app. In case you've never heard of it, it was almost exclusively for underage teens
who used it to meet, chat with and hook up with other underage teens. They shut it down because MUCH older men
were using it to meet underage girls amongst other things like nudity.

1/07/20 - 'how to make a woman orgasm'.
1/07/20 - 'Older man younger woman relationships'.
1/08/20 - 'I can't reset my facebook password because I can't access the email or mobile phone number on
my account.
1/24/20 - accesses '3rd Basel My first hand job: Dear Diary, 9th grade, entry 14' -
*** the above were searched on Youtube, all deleted from his phone yet recovered.

1/25/20 - accesses 'localsnapsext.com
1/25/20 - googles 'find a cute girl near Salida'.
*not sure of the date but withing the same time frame - accesses a site named "come get dirty" along with other such sites that were recovered from deleted web searches.

Also unsure of the date, Barry accesses Ashley Madison site for married hookups. Unless you enter your information and open a profile, there's nothing to see here folks. I'm sure he did.

Accesses 'celebrity jihad' - photos of celebs and video .

This is just a list of what forensics could discover from his deleted searches.

One has to wonder if that's how he met Shoshona - on these or other dating sites. After all, Barry says they first met "face to face" on 10/25/20.

Doesn't sound like a faithful man to me. I also believe her sister and bff when they say he'd had an affair in IN.
Maybe Barry was going through Suzanne's chemo again, as if he'd need a reason.

Suzanne had "accounts" now, as in plural? Did not see that.

Would you please direct me to the page where Grusing states they both had gone after each other in a physical manner before? I surely missed it.

They/we know the JOB was an alibi because (for the umpteenth time) he didn't have a work order, the equipment nor had he ordered the materials. Ugh.

I'm not even going into THE BIKE. Double Ugh.
IMO

ETA: While I'm at it, can someone remind me who Casey is? That was Barry's reasoning to Suzanne for having a second phone. A very busy phone. It was linked to his iphone. I wonder who he was talking to from 5/05/20 (when Suzanne dropped off M2) thru 5/12/20 and especially on 5/09 and 5/10.
TIA

A sheath that would and did fall out when the filter tray was removed! So unless there were layers of lint from prior loads, that sheath harpooned the lint tray exclusive to that load!

I suspect that Barry manufactured the tale of tranquing-for-antlers when LE shared the discovery of a sheath, relative to the mudroom. If only they'd asked him how it might've wandered into the dryer specifically. Maybe he'd have said he'd tracked a very small herd of very small elk into the laundry room and set up his tranquilizer kit to play fish in a barrel/drum.

No need to be facetious. Likely he would've said, like the bullet from his shorts, it fell freshly out of his pocket from where it had taken up residence for a month.

It is something to watch the evolution of his responses as LE tightens the questions.

JMO

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the sheath had anything to do with the lint filter screen. I know that was said early on but I think it was just under the sheets and went unnoticed the first time the dryer was looked into.
It was no doubt in with that wash, likely from Barry's shorts pocket. It looked nearly 3 inches long in the AA photo when being held between two fingers.

 

[marylamby]

I have always wondered if he asked that as in his mind it was an expected question and he knew they would not find it or whether he had planted it and expected it to be found.

Barry was throwing out so many possible horrid things that/who/what could be responsible for Suzanne's disappearance but only one of them doesn't include violence, mauling or sex er I mean rape was - she ran off with another guy.

Now that would mean she intended to change her identity being that she left all of her ID in her car but for some reason wanted to keep her phone (which would PIIINNNNGGG) if she opened it and she needed her charger to boot. (I know, sounds ridiculous but we're talking Barry here. Probably hadn't slept in 48 hours at THAT point.) There's a reason he took the charger and disposed of it.
I think he was throwing out anything and everything. In his mind it was all 'reasonable doubt'.
IMO

No way did Suzanne run away. Leave her boyfriend, her daughters, her family and friends with no word, with no assurances then or ever that she was OK. Leave before she welcomed her daughters home again, and before she had her last cancer appointment. Leave before she had retrieved her parents' inheritance money from Barry, leave before she had seen her friend's daughter getting married. Those were all things that she wanted to do and was planning to do. No, she did not leave of her own volition.

Most importantly, there's no way she COULD have done that.

That would be like the plot of "Gone Girl," yet several times more insane. The greatest frame job of all time, and a disappearing act on top of that.

Then she'd have to get insanely lucky, when Barry said and did a couple dozen incriminating things.

If anyone believes anything like that happened, then they really need to stop reading fiction books and get with the real world.

Big disappointment - he trusted them so much, his friends from LE!! How could they??!

I really don't think he had anything like that and if he had, LE would've been all over it. If he rented or owned a building or office or storage space, there would've been receipts or a deed.
He was just a subcontractor with a bobcat.
IMO

ETA: I want to walk back the 'receipts'/paperwork. Remember the huge stuffed file Barry walked out of the hotel with? Might've been a spiral notebook too. Lots of stuff. I wonder if he still had that in his truck when LE took it. Could've dropped it off somewhere or handed it over to someone before he arrived to meet LE.
Whatever it all was, he felt the need to take it from the house - which he knew would be searched.
IMO
