Do we know for certain no physical searches were conducted in Broomfield? I say that because I doubt all of LE searches have been made public. IMO

Suzanne Morphew - Chaffee County Sheriff

Dated 9/29/2020:

• 130+ Searches conducted (including warrants, which remained sealed at this time)
• 4,000+ Hours spent by Task Force investigators on the case.

From your mouth to God's ears.

I've still got concerns about that helmet. LE said no scratches or dings which is hard to believe if you toss it from a moving vehicle and the telematics didn't show any vehicle activity or did I miss it. If you look at Google Earth there is almost a path from where the bike was to where the helmet was found and it isn't all that far if you are on foot. I think all I'm saying is I'm not wedded to it being tossed from a vehicle. It could easily have just been "put" there. Since the phone has never been found it could be anywhere...

Put there by an ever-so-sneaky, quick-thinking mountain lion spreading out the evidence of his/her crime? (not far at all on 4 feet!)

Put there by a 2-footed, spiteful SODDI stranger spreading out evidence of his crime?

Levitated there by Jeff Libler (on no feet) all the way from his Michigan domicile?

Nah! Pitched there by Barry who went into the non-thinking/bat-poop-crazy stage which murderers often do post-crime! (Feet and trucks running here and there all over the place!)

A couple things I've been thinking about. I try to reread some things every few weeks to see what pops out as new/different.

Barry texted Suzanne to call him when she gets a chance that Mother's Day morning. Why didn't he just call her? Instead he texts for her to call him. How many times did we see him call her the previous week? Sometimes over and over again. Interesting he didn't do that this day and instead said for her to call him. I'm curious on his phone records how many times, if ever he texted her to call him instead of him just calling her.

Also, her phone wasn't used again after he arrived home. I am guessing she had a lock on that phone because otherwise, why wouldn't he look in it, respond to Sheila's snaps so not to be suspicious. Didn't he know it would be very suspicious to not hear back from her. What if the girls messaged her. I doubt she would ignore them. His reason for this was they put their phones away and had a perfect night, but it just doesn't make sense to not have them there in case the girls had an emergency or SO messaged because that wedding was the next day. I almost think it would have been better for him to have used her phone a small bit to at least show she was "alive" and well after he was home. I guess if she had it password protected, he couldn't do that. I am curious if her phone was actually found if LE could tell if he was trying to get into it. Since it hasn't been found I am sure what they can get from it is more limited than what they could get if they had it.

Bike helmets are super light, therefore they really only show damage when they smash into things with a skull inside. They are quite literally molded styrofoam with a thin plastic casing and a few webbed straps. They can also catch air like nobodies business. Stop by the bike rack next time you're at a big box store and handle them, feel how light they are. The original location of the helmet could have been much closer to the highway and blown further down by a truck coming down from Monarch Pass.

Windows do not register any telematics that I am aware of.

Wednesday night was the walk...

Barry is lying about being in an intimate relationship now. Not a stretch to imagine he was lying about one then.

If Barry went out to check on the dear and met her at the dumpster, their prayer circle might've been interrupted by the cleaning lady and that's why Barry questioned her. We weren't doin' nuthin'.

The very next day Suzanne said she was done.

If that cleaning lady later encountered, say, Mrs R and mentioned meeting Barry and his wife and then Mrs R related that to Suzanne, Suzanne would know whether she'd been on a walk with Barry.... and if she knew she hadn't, that would be all the evidence she needed. Lied about the deer, lied about the zipper....and now she had proof.

Now it's possible it was Real Suzanne with Barry...

But considering Barry himself said he met his current paramour at the dumpster...

And Suzanne had said the last few days had been magical...

I'm not seeing a walk with Barry 'round the neighborhood dumpster to be any kind of magic, not for Suzanne, who was preparing to walk away from him.

JMO

By that time, she couldn’t stand him. For good reason.

A journalist who attended the preliminary hearing reported seeing the wig in still photos (of BM and SD as they are checking out of Antler’s Hotel) presented in court.

Thank you!

 

[Spartygirl]

He did engage his other device.

Maybe he wasn't alone.

And he didn't need the full hour.

JMO

HA !!

And then he called MG , out of breath, panting, per her interview.

Hmmm... just what the heck was he doing there for that amount of time only to call MG before he left there ??

 

[Auntie Cipation]

We don't know for a fact that they haven't, but I'd love to know why not, if they didn't search.

Necrosearch has been heavily involved here, and that's another area they are experts in. Typically they tell law enforcement where in a landfill they should search for a body (Berreth case for example), but one would think that also applies to evidence.

Thanks. I hope we learn at trial that they not only searched but actually found some useful items.

Speaking of Necrosearch, I just recently listened to the audiobook of No Stone Unturned. Fascinating -- thanks for recommending it!

I hadn't realized how Colorado-based its origin was. Makes me wonder whether true-crime-fan-Barry ever read it... Of course then he would have known he'd never get away with it, so I guess not.

I doubt it, as Barry doesn't strike me as much of a reader, the Bible that he weaponizes, notwithstanding.

You know what? Even if Suzanne was still alive, recently divorced, and making a new life for herself, it would still be a tragedy wouldn't it? When you think back to how happy they were on their wedding day, even though in hindsight they seem to have been a mismatch. And then how it all went downhill, ending in violence and tears. I know, a very little tragedy compared with the reality - but still a tragedy.

I'll be interested to hear what Mrs Ritter has to say.

It is extremely sad. Everyone just dumped her that weekend and her predator took that opportunity to pounce. Such cruelty. It’s all about domestic violence leading to homicide.

 

[Kemug]

Down here in Oz a few years back, a quite well-known man was tried for child sex abuse. Every day of the trial his wife walked and stood loyally by his side. The day after he was found guilty, she filed for divorce. Just sayin'.

 

[Aloe]

MOO IMO
What if BM had an accomplice drive with him to Broomfield and he dropped them off at the bus station? Might explain the reason for that seemingly random and specific stop plus the reason for the passenger door opening.

I wonder what the RTD bus routes and times were that morning? Is there cam footage in those buses to see which passengers boarded the next bus after BM was there?

I’ve wondered about this as well. Surely LE would have looked into it, no? MOO

 

[mrjitty]

Yes. He tried to disable them.

17:33:32 (Telematics) From “(UI) Events” “Power Removed” action occurred (UI)​

I looked in to this stuff on the Ford forums some months ago (sadly forgot some of what I found out).

The telematics is capable of quite a lot more functionality in relation to journeys etc which can be used by fleet managers or consumers. I believe a lot of this is reported in a Fordpass app which connects to the cloud. IIRC the truck uses your phone as its internet connection to the cloud stuff, and your phone app as the main interface. Many cars now apparently have their own built in SIM card but i don't think BM had that? His truck may also have had WiFi that could then connect to the cloud whenever it could get a connection.

So we are looking at base logging that has been recovered from the truck itself, but these are then ordinarily compiled nicely into reports and journeys etc

A question is whether BM had the app set up.

I wonder if when he killed the sync, he also deleted all the data out of app and cloud. This is easy to do. e.g you would do it when you sell a truck.

I am hoping this is something that will emerge at trial. I suspect it will. The reason why you are having to engage with telematics in such a basic, line by line log fashion instead of via an interface with nice UX and reports is because he killed that, but didn't realise logging would still be happening.

Especially one thing pulling the gps/sync fuse does, is prevent the base telematics data from syncing to the cloud/app.

[Aloe]

I'm full of conviction because the evidence is overwhelming. It literally doesn't get much easier as far as guilt goes (not to say that trial will be easy).

Barry tells us he has no guilt over and over, when he references this basically being God's judgement for her having an affair.

He let himself off the hook, and moved on quickly.

"You are Suzanne to me..."

Creepy...
BBM MOO

Once she was married to Barry, it wasn’t going to end that way. If they had divorced he would have continually threatened and harassed her, lied about her and mentally destroyed her daughters. Because that’s what narcissists do. It’s not over until the narcissist says it’s over. The only way she would have been saved would be if she had remarried a strong man who wasn’t afraid of a bully.

Special Agent Hoyland is mentioned in the AA, and he's on the witness list here. He was incredible in the Berreth case. Check out what legendary DA Dan May says starting at the 18:18 mark.

Yes he was. I don’t know how The DA will do in this case but they had some good agents on the case. If the questions are asked, Hoyland and Grusing will knock it out of the park.
