I also find my head imploding when listening to the press releases from Mr. Morphew’s attorney. I can only cling precariously to my sanity by constantly reminding myself that it is their job to raise any and all, even remotely possible (or in some cases ludicrous) explanations, that dispute the Prosecutor’s claims of guilt. In most cases, they don’t have any stake in the truth per se, but simply seek to provide a required robust defense (even if they likely believe their client is guilty).Last week, shortly after SM's remains were reported recovered, IE issued two statements to the media on the same day.
In her second statement sent to MSM linked below, not only did IE double down about her innocent, persecuted, client being wrongfully re-accused, but she also went "classic IE" by intentionally putting out false, self-serving information to the public --alleging a second body was found last weekend in Saguache County, and promising authorities would be issuing details the next day.
IMO, this is a perfect example of IE manipulating the details of an investigation and not unlike what we witnessed IE pull off in Court -- especially with Judge Lama. IMO, it's also what she does in the 185-page Civil Rights Complaint BM filed against 26 defendants who are mostly from Chaffee County.

Law firm representing Barry Morphew shares a new statement tied to authorities finding Suzanne Morphew’s remains
The law firm representing Barry Morphew released a new statement on his behalf on Thursday after remains belonging to Suzanne Morphew were discovered.www.kktv.com
Sept 28, 2023
[..]
The statement released on Thursday by EyTan Law Firm on behalf of Barry Morphew :
“The first and most important focus should be that the Morphew’s just learned that they lost their beautiful mother and wife after she disappeared 3 ½ years ago.
What appears to be the overriding focus is a finger pointing right back where it started 3 ½ years ago: a movement to blindly re-accuse Barry for Suzanne’s death.
[..]
Here are the facts.
[..]
What needs to be done instead of pointing fingers at Barry Morphew, is asking the officials about the number of missing people and number of human remains that have been recovered in or from Saguache County in the recent past.
Whatever happened to Krystal Reisinger, Edna Quintana, Suzanne, the man whose remains were found by Saguache County Sheriff’s office in the foothills on July 26, 2023, or the remains of the person found in another area in Saguache County last weekend (more info to come from authorities tomorrow). What were the circumstances of their disappearances, what is cause and manner of death of the remains found in the area, what happened to them, are they looking for other remains in this area?
The public should demand answers about these five people who suspiciously went missing or were found dead in this area.
_______________________________________
To be clear, there's been no confirmation whatsoever that remains of another person were found last weekend in Saguache County, just as there was NO information the next day from authorities!
Some may recall that on the same day as IE's news releases, the Denver Gazette (Carol McKinley) first reported there was a second body before deleting the statement from their report hours later. And it wouldn't be the first time McKinley didn't fact-check IE as her source!
I dunno.... It just does my head in that this behavior goes unchecked, and that IE is not held accountable. JMO![]()
Given the circumstantial evidence pointing to Mr. Morphew, about the only defense available will be to distract a jury and obfuscate the State’s case, not refute that case.
In other words, perpetual gaslighting.
Suggesting that “What needs to be done instead of pointing fingers at Barry Morphew, is asking the officials about the number of missing people and number of human remains that have been recovered in or from Saguache County in the recent past.” is classic misdirection.
She asks rhetorically, “Whatever happened to Krystal Reisinger, Edna Quintana, Suzanne, the man whose remains were found by Saguache County Sheriff’s office in the foothills on July 26, 2023, or the remains of the person found in another area in Saguache County last weekend (more info to come from authorities tomorrow). What were the circumstances of their disappearances, what is cause and manner of death of the remains found in the area, what happened to them, are they looking for other remains in this area?”
Well, since you asked……….other than Suzanne, for whom there is a mountain of evidence pointing to Mr. Morphew (in addition to said fingers), the only other body found recently was dumped (apparently not buried) which is typical of a stranger/serial killer. Suzanne was buried, which is typical of a killer known to the victim. That body was found about 20 miles from Moffat and was of a man who left a bar near Denver with a group of strangers in April 2023. Ignoring the misreported finding of other remains that weekend, the other two named persons are missing -- Ms. Reisinger (a well-publicized case, missing from Crestone since 2016 and last communicating with a local man with a criminal history of drugs and assault) and Ms. Quintana (missing since May 2023 but who was reportedly “not involved with a very good group” when she vanished).
So, umm, I guess these circumstances firmly establish Mr. Morphew’s innocence (consider yourselves gaslit).
