Whose eyes are on BM?? I hope that justice will be swift and harsh. RIP Suzanne you had an army of support that you never knew about.

Interesting. I vaguely remember a story from 2020 about buried bodies found on a property of a man sought for drug trafficking and I thought that was in the Sagouche area.

Yes, here it is:

Human remains identified as missing Colorado woman following a disturbing discovery in a rural area

As the investigation continues into an unsettling case centered around a rural area in Colorado, authorities have identified a second set of human remains.

www.kktv.com

I wonder if BM chose that area in the hope it would point suspicion that direction.

However, a random abductor drug trafficker would not bother to try to misdirect LE by tossing a bike helmet in the opposite direction from that he is taking his abductee.

The bodies of Adre "Psycho" Baroz's victims were actually found about an hour south of Moffat (although I think one of his victims was from Sagauche.) The San Luis Valley is a huge area!

It just occurred to me that we haven't really heard the word Saguache in this case much until today. For non-Coloradans, it's pronounced "Sah-WATCH" in case you were struggling with making sense of all those letters!

The remains of Suzanne Morphew, who was reported missing in May 2020 out of Chaffee County, were found during an unrelated search Sept. 22 in Saguache County, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) announced Wednesday afternoon. The remains were confirmed to be Suzanne's on Wednesday.

I wonder what Suzanne was wearing when she was found? That would perhaps give an indication of the time line and may squarely set the sites on Barry (or not).

I'm also wondering if she was found wrapped in a blanket or anything that points to BM.

Here is a photo of BM’s PP garage. Motorcycle and a bike in the back, not sure if that is an e-bike. I cannot find the photo of the RR in the garage with the barrels. I thought there was an ATV in that one.

IIRC the photo to which you're referring was from the previous owners.

Saw the news and immediately jumped on here!! So happy (? Doesn't feel like the right word at all ) Suzanne has been found. ♥ I truly worried she never would be.

eta: There are tears in my eyes as I'm scrolling through getting myself up to speed! I really, really hope this means this beautiful lady can get the justice she deserves for having her life stolen from her so cruelly.

Me too! Websleuths is my "go to" whenever something crime related occurs and I want factual information. I don't want to miss anything. I know it's all here.

Happy, sad, stunned .... many emotions all at the same time. Yes, the beautiful lady deserves justice. And that includes her daughters knowing the truth! God only knows what kind of crap BM told the girls and what they believed about their mother. That in itself is so wrong!

 

[bestill]

I am curious about her wedding rings, was she found with them? Or did she conveniently leave them at home while she went on her "bike ride". Don't recall reading about that.

Suzanne Morphew's remains found, Colorado Bureau of Investigation says

Suzanne Morphew's remains have been found, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced Wednesday.

denvergazette.com

The 49-year-old's bones were found in a remote, dry desert field of sagebrush and natural grasses south of Moffat, according to Saguache County Coroner Tom Perrin. He said it appeared that the remains had been buried in a shallow grave before being scattered.

Perrin was called to the scene to collect the remains on Friday, and transported them to El Paso County for an autopsy. Wednesday, they were positively identified as Morphew's.

From the article - quotes from Suzanne's sister:
"This is a miracle. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack," Moorman Balzer said. "Colorado is a vast and rugged place and we have prayed that God would put light on where she is. We have been praying and here we are today. It’s day of great sadness, but a day of celebration."

"This is just a small little snippet," Moorman Balzer said. "A lot more will be revealed in time. We will be patient and trust the process."

Thank you; I'd wondered how close these areas were.

Yeah, it's crazy to be posting about this. Never thought it would happen. I definitely will be keeping watch when AR/forensics are posted.

If there is tranq Barry is toast.

If not, could be very interesting.

I worry that no evidence of tranq (unless the needles hit bone) will be there. I am hoping you are right.

Even if there are needle point marks on the bones, the Defense will still find a way to make it "very interesting."

I am a betting woman, and I bet that Barry cannot afford the same private defense lawyers, this time. However, I could be very wrong. I hate this phase of a crime case, but can't look away.

What a dummy, thinks we're all stupid.

Suzanne Morphew's remains are FOUND

The remains of missing mother Suzanne Morphew have been found - three and a half years after she vanished after going on a bike ride on Mother's Day.

www.dailymail.co.uk

The husband of a Colorado woman whose body was found last week after a three-year search is convinced he will be now cleared of any suspicion of involvement, a source has claimed.

 

[SleuthBee]

Give dailymail a few hours and I’m sure they will have a nice updated photo of Barry and where he is for us.

(remember him grilling with peanut butter)

I’ll give them something they always have the best photos - at least in this case.

Good to know that BM's days of peace and quite are over ..... go "Daily Mail".

Good to know. Suzanne had been found and his first thoughts are about...himself.

Shocking. Not shocking.

A lot of us are feeling the same. Tears of happiness that Suzanne has been found and is no longer maligned as a woman who just ran off (!)

And the denial that her "husband" and (apparently) her daughters had about her death is no more. She's no longer with us. She is not in Ecuador. She didn't run off with a lover.

She was killed on Mother's Day.

And someone then transported and buried her 44 miles from her home. So it was not a long conspiracy.

The next part of this (Justice) is likely going to infuriate me at times, but it is, at last, underway.

 

[Momofthreeboys]

That was a super fast turnaround for DNA. I wonder if they rushed it because there was other evidence it was Suzanne.

Agree perhaps there was something that identified her? Her ring was unique…jewelry…or maybe they can get DNA done in a matter of days.

 

[Chimera]

Hmm.

I think he was in a rage when darting around "shooting chipmunks" (or squirrels or whatever - none of them needed to be shot). But was she dead at that point? I am on the fence. I think he might well have tranquilized her.

And then...killed her later. Which is not a fit of rage, IMO (unless, of course, he's one of those people who can sustain rage for many hours). He started the process of killing her in a rage (but had already fantasized/thought through how to kill her).

If he did strangle her, I think it happened off-premises. I've always thought this. And I think it's an attempt at creating the "perfect murder" and that part of it was thought out before. Or he's incredibly cagey and smarter than I think he is.

I'm very interested in rage (have never experienced it, myself; but have seen it). It's usually brief and the rageful person often makes lots of mistakes (like Barry). But he was not in a rage the whole time.

I'd like to think that most of us would just collapse, and turn ourselves in, or otherwise let others see a bit of who we truly are - if we found that during a rage, we had killed someone.

Ms SD will be crucial at trial. She knows and knew a lot.

IMO.

Who is SD ?

Someone asked if there's a thread for Edna and there is:

CBI trying to identify human remains found in Saguache County

Updated: 5:37 PM MDT July 28, 2023

Edited: It appears they found remains of a man. So imo, in searching for Ms. Quintana, there have been two missing persons found. However, only Suzanne has been identified.
