Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o Prejudice* #101

[crhedBngr]

One of Suzanne's 50 reasons was about mental abuse while drinking -- sounds like she meant his drinking.

I imagine he hated Suzanne's IPAs and her new confidence. Probably threw out her beer because didn't want anyone to know his beloved angel sipped some.

Is there nothing he didn't control?

Said control will now be vested in his two daughters. I really worry about them.

I imagine Barry’s mindset being beer for me but not for thee and it likely chapped him to no end that she had acquired a taste for craft beer. Costing him more of his hard earned money. How dare she? Plus the expense of medical marijuana while fighting and recovering from recurrent cancer. Oh Suzanne…

IIRC, Wed, May 6 is the day SM drove MM2 to Gunnison for the planned camping trip with MM1 and MM1's friend. IIRC, it is also the day SM spent some time with JR at the Ritter home, during which she for some reason urged JR not to come over to Puma Path in the next few days. (We don’t know if she told JR why, but it seems reasonable to me to presume that she mentioned something about the marital conflict. She may or may not have mentioned her plans to end the marriage and BM’s resistance to even hearing such plans, depending on how well she knew and trusted JR.).

^^rsbm

IMO, BM seemed to take over the facts surrounding SM telling JR not to come over that week-- probably because BM wanted to push the narrative that SM knew she was running off to Mexico, or wherever (i.e., all pointing to SM leaving).

However, if I remember correctly, SM told JR not to come by because she'd be busy working on BM's books. I also recall JR saying that SM seemed happy and upbeat when she last saw her.

I think this is very plausible for the time in question when government had also changed the tax filing dates and BM was probably applying for his PPP loan pursuant to the COVID19 "CARES ACT."

I believe it was when BM asked about immunity that he also asked Agent Grusing about getting his tax paperwork back.

MOO

I'd say he more than met his match in Grusing.

Funny*, isn't it, that for as much damage as BM did to himself speaking with Grusing, it is LS - just doing her job as a professional journalist - that both BM's sister and his lawyer choose to attack as some kind of wicked culprit who didn't know her place.

Always a woman.

ETA: *Funny as in "odd," not funny as in ha-ha.

 

[tmar]

I need a "fingers crossed" symbol!

BM is free, doing as he pleases BUT surely 'ulcers' are playing their part.
Probably his 'movements' are recorded, and hopefully the Creep messes up: tampering with evidence: one can hope.

Wonder what further reasons he is 'thinking up' to explain certain events: again all lies.
Bet he is trying to get people to 'side with him'.
Hope, all this in vain,when finally 'broke BM' is found guilty.
Yippee.... but we wait.

 

[crhedBngr]

All are adults now.
And the case is dismissed so...

They are adults in age only.

I don't doubt that Barry will attempt to manipulate and control them. With anything and every thing he can.

Wonder why we haven't heard anything related to whether that $50,000+ PPP loan was fraudently obtained?

Sure, here is a link to the arrest press conference

....

@GatorFL Thx for your link. In rewatching, I noticed at ~ 4:40 time mark, Prosecutor LS said (my paraphrasing):

The arrest affidavit is sealed and I cannot and will not discuss it. Fourth, all media inquiries should be directed thru my office.... however we cannot and will not talk about an open or active investigation... per the Rules of Professional Conduct. <--- May 5, 2021.

And Ms Stanley turned around, appearing on a pod cast talking about the case (Profiling Evil?) how soon?

They marked Lauren as their equal.
Meaning they felt their equal was in the media not in the courtroom.

 

[justtrish]

We will likely never know how it all happened, but based on the signature gouges on Barry's arm, there was an intimate scuffle.

The point of tranquilizing wildlife, it seems to me, is to drop the animal -- to prevent injury to animal and tranquilizor. Sedate the animal before approaching, then conduct whatever business necessitated that sedation (transport, veterinary care, tagging, etc and not to saw off antlers) before giving the corresponding reversal agent.

We don't know what was in the dart associated with the sheath. We don't know if it was a lethal agent, or whether it was or wasn't intended to be such.

But I have two theories. Theory #1 is that Barry made first contact outside (not directly outside) the bedroom, grabbing Suzanne in a chestlock, probably from behind, injecting her manually. And that's when she gouged him, perhaps momentarily breaking free, attempting then to find safety in her bedroom.

Or alternately, Theory #2, it was inside the bedroom, that he held her down, resulting in the gouges.

Did he attempt to immobilize her to inject her or did he attempt to hold her down until the tranquilizer overwhelmed her?

I think this is determinable. Based on the position and angle of the gouges. Whether he was behind her or atop her.

IMO there are two reasons for breaking into the bedroom --

1. Suzanne had her phone and he couldn't let her call for help.

Or

2. There were weapons in that room. He couldn't let Suzanne get hold of a gun, to defend herself.

Because, otherwise, he only had to wait for the tranquilizer to work before calmly picking the lock.

I think Suzanne may have briefly shifted the power axis and he was forced to punt.

The sheath and the doorframe and the gouges tell a story.

There is evidence of a crime in the home.

I disagree with the judge's finding that the sheath is no more evidentiary than knives in a kitchen or guns in a gunsafe.

If a set of knives were missing, I'd say that could have significant evidentiary value. Both the presence and absence of a means for violence is relevant IMO!

That Barry himself brought firing tranquilizers into the story makes tranquing materials even more relevant.

They should be there (in the home) so why are they missing? Smoking gun.

It takes one google search and one video of a deer being tranquilized to feel the brutality of a dart into thin human skin.

JMO

This is good. I think it's easy to forget these small details that do show a picture. He said he got those gouges from a tree on the job. I'm curious WHEN.. which site that he was working on in the 2 days before she disappeared did he get those? I don't think he can say.

Another thing that supports your idea that she could have had access to weapons in the bedroom is the bullet on the floor. Was she trying to load a gun. Is there a gun missing? I think he missed that bullet, but maybe he took the gun to dump it.

 

[Tumbleweed]

I agree, @Megnut. I believe that BM dumped SM’s phone as part of his breadcrumb trail. BM asks SA Grusing several times if they have her phone. He said he assumed they had it. I think he was frustrated that it was not found. I think he used her phone for the FB friend requests and possibly some other planted evidence. I think it was dumped further up on 50 west closer to where he turned around with the expectation it would be found.
The bike and helmet were not out in plain view because BM needed to be in Broomfield before the alarm was raised and the search begun. However, they were not so well hidden that they wouldn’t be found because they were needed for the abduction narrative. The phone may have been left the same way but because it was a lot smaller it wasn’t found on the day they closed Hwy 50 to search.
The helmet was found on the strip of land between CR226 and Hwy 50. 226 can be accessed from 50 west or from 225 just a few yards from where the bike was dumped. I am attaching 2 maps, one a close up of the elk/bike/helmet locations and the second one showing the road all the way to Garfield. It is possible that he dumped the bike then cruised west on Hwy 50 looking for a spot to dump the helmet. He could have driven as far as Garfield then turned around heading back east. On his way back, he would pass the entrance to 226. He could have cut down there, dumped the helmet, then continued on until he was back at 225 near the intersection of 50.

BBM above. In the last thread you were asking opinions on where people believed the washed-out road was located. Sorry, I didn't get to it in time before the thread closed but I believe the washed-out road that BM is talking about is CR226. There is a video by TD the day before he met Barry for the infamous interview (so roughly 3 weeks after Mother's Day) where he is walking on CR 225 by CR226 entry and there is a big sign across CR 226 prohibiting entrance. The sign reads "ROAD CLOSED DUE TO FLOOD DAMAGE." Sorry, I can't link it here due to TOS.

Also, on page 74/129 of the AA, when talking about the supposed elk going in the gulley where "that old washed-out road is", he says he came across the elk on the road before he got up to HWY 50. Leaving from the Puma Path house, CR226 would be before he would get to HWY 50. So I think he is referencing CR 226 as the washed-out road. It might be interesting to investigate when the flooding occurred that closed that road. I'm assuming it was before Suzanne went missing.
All IMO.

What time did Barry back up his truck nearly 100ft?

I don't think he left PP prior to that.

I think Barry bundled his prey up early, then scoured the house. While there was daylight.

I still think he left after 10:30, with the singular task of disposal/ concealment.

I believe he didn't travel far but his task was labor intensive.

I think he returned home close to 3 am.

I believe Barry loaded vehicles twice. One on the 9th, with everything he'd need for entombment. And his truck on 5/10 with everything he intended to stage/dump.

I lean toward an overnight disposal because I think the dog hits were genuine. I think Barry was in contact with a deceased human being, giving off cadaverine, at the 8-10-12 hour post-death timeframe.

JMO

He could have taken his phone off airplane mode and left it at the house, THEN went to dispose of her maybe thinking if anyone saw anything he could point to his phone being at home during that time so it couldn't be him out dumping her because he was home sleeping.

If memory serves me, he didn't say the "scrapes" ('sif) were occupational hazards! He said he got them while hiking with Suzanne (a hike they never went on -- or at least that she wasn't DEAD for) or while searching for her.

Given all the lies or truths he could've told just then, I find it eerie and illuminating that he equated the gouges with Suzanne.

And Ms Stanley turned around, appearing on a pod cast talking about the case (Profiling Evil?) how soon?

Stanley appeared twice: On April 30 (BM was arrested May 5 and AA was signed May 4) and August 30 (after the preliminary hearing).

IIRC, the first appearance was about Stanley's background and training and how they have impacted her work as a prosecutor and how she interacts with LE. Her second appearance was much about her former crush on the actor who starred in Starsky & Hutch. That is, both appearances were about her personally and her approach to her work in relation to LE. She is a former police officer.

I do not remember her discussing any details of the case; however, I will re-watch both appearances later this evening/early tomorrow to determine whether my recollection is correct.

I did note that in a comment made to the YouTube video from the April 30 appearance, Stanley wrote the following:

“I wanted to personally say "thank you" to all of you that watched the livestream today and commented. Your comments are extremely important to me and I read every single one of them. You all brought tears to my eyes at times; that's a rare event, for sure. Please understand I am forbidden by the Rules of Professional Conduct to discuss any active and open investigations. To me, they are active and open until there is a conviction (so I can't speak about a case until after the jury has a verdict). Just know that I hear you, I get it, and I'm on it. The law enforcement officials you have in this district are topnotch - they haven't missed anything. We're doing all we can do every single minute of every single day. The biggest mistake anyone can make will be to underestimate me."​

My recollection of the two PE episodes is identical to yours. My only thought was that the safe and probably prudent thing for her to have done was to just not appear on social media etc at all. That it left her open to criticism esp in a our current world where perception trumps reality. What was it that judge L wrote - something to the effect that just the fact she appeared on a podcast with the name “Profiling Evil” was prejudicial to the defendant.

I don’t think there is any reason to worry about them. In my opinion they have plenty of people who can financially advise them.
