Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o prejudice* #109

[Seattle1]

Why should the suit be dropped?
I would like to be, but the wrongs alleged would remain.

A civil suit by BM filed on 5/2/2023 alleges his civil rights were violated by the investigation and prosecution team, and the only remedy for this " alleged wrong" is to award him the sum of $15M.

How does this request by a man I (we) believe is a wife killer, make any "alleged wrong" by the investigation/prosecution team, "right?"

When does rewarding an alleged wife killer, still subject to legally being recharged for murder, prevail over the civil rights and common and public sensibilities of all who followed this case, in addition to the named defendants?

Specific to the prosecution team, I think it's important to recognize that the Court overseeing BM's prosecution never ever charged them with breaking the law. The allegations by the defense have all been deemed minus intent.

I'm reminded of Letecia Stauch's trial where an expert witness failed to turn over discovery not 3 days before the trial, but 3 days before she testified, and still she was allowed to testify in Court.

There were no courtroom theatrics or threats of sanctions for discovery violations. And not because sanctions were not warranted but because of the professionalism, respect, and courtesy extended by all parties to each other, including the Court, where Hon Judge Gregory Werner presided over the case.

Fortunately, in practice, what we witnessed in the 11th Judicial District Court and the prosecution of BM is far from the norm. MOO

So would I. I think the answer they would give is pretty simple though. They figured out Barry is the one who killed Suzanne as we did, by his mounting lies. Then they were afraid, very afraid and didn't want to be drawn into the quagmire that is Barry Morphew.

It’s also possible that Suzanne confided in Mrs Ritter as Barry left home for days at a time with no explanation to Suzanne. In fact, according to Suzanne's own words, when she would confront him, he wouldn’t discuss it and became defensive as in: “Me Tarzan. You Jane.”

Can you imagine? He wouldn’t even take her phone calls or he would turn off his phone. In the beginning I thought he was involved in organized crime or drug cartels. To say he made his money as a landscaper is a stretch. His work was below par, he had a hot temper, etc. You can’t build a business that way. People get clued in to you. And they did, in Indiana. When moving to CO, it looked like the Beverly Hillbillies from his truck. No offense to the Beverly hillbillies!
And please answer this: how many people bury large furniture in their front yards???
Barry did!

Then I figured no, he just wanted Suzanne’s money and for her to be the “little woman” literally.

Makes me sick and makes by blood boil.


It’s a wonder we aren’t watching a trial of her killing hom! But no, Suzanne was gentle and kind and just wanted to move on and live in peace.

Barry should be hung on the town square. Imo.

Yes, I should think that Suzanne often confided in Mrs Ritter. She was living a very lonely and difficult life in Colorado, and IMO really needed a sympathetic ear. I'm sure Mrs Ritter heard quite a bit about her neighbours' marriage, even if Suzanne tried to downplay Barry's behaviour. Quite probably Suzanne never realised just how much she had revealed to Mrs R. And Mrs R was obviously no gossip, but with Suzanne's disappearance she realised she had knowledge which might be very important. And possibly put her in danger.

I recall learning (most likely from LS) that the Ritters were the first to open their home to host BM and his out-of-town arrivals coming to his aid, and they felt BM's behavior was very odd from the start. I imagine that by September when the AA became public, the pieces all started to fit together. JMO

 

[Procrastinator]

Hands in the pockets, covering up scratches! How did GD know to be where the bike was recovered? Who contacted him about SM missing? GD always seemed to be in the wings so to speak. I understand he owns hunting land about 15 min from the “shallow grave” discovered. Makes me curious. MOO

@Error505 how do you know about the hunting land GD may own 15 mins from the "shallow grave"?

MOO what a user BM is.

 

[mrjitty]

It’s worth reading the state response to sanctions together with IEs civil suit

There is no secret evidence problem that the state was trying to cover up.

The evidence is what was covered in short from in the prelim.

iE has no answer to the incriminating facts

Indeed her answer to the left turn and chipmunk hunt is that Barry lied about those lies.

But her claiming things isn’t evidence. Barry would have to testify to what ‘really’ happened.

 

[Boxer]

Can a professional penalty be levied on Eytan somehow?

 

[Bbgiraffe]

I'm just gonna throw another possible angle out there.

Licenses for cannabis cultivation in Moffat, according to Foxx, have shot up from just two to over 70 in the past six years, in large part thanks to Area 420.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/19/us/colorado-town-moffat-kush-trnd/index.html

This article from CNN talks about how the townspeople were considering changing the name of Moffat to "Kush" which is a marijuana reference for those unaware.

I realize the name change conversation wasn't happening until 2022, however marijuana was apparently legalized in Colorado in 2012 and since then it seems the industry is pretty well established in Moffat.

This might fit with how Barry was trying to claim Suzanne was using marijuana and "CBD Tim". Might be a reason he put her out there. To add into the mix a possibility of drug related crime. If he was aware of this area's reputation for marijuana.

Yes, there was a “go gimme fund“ set up to help with search expenses, etc immediately after Suzanne went missing. TN first published it to Facebook. All of that has been deleted now, but I remember it well! There was quite a large sum collected, over $30k. SM’s brother, Andy had hoped some would be donated to help his large search but no money came from the fund or BM for that massive search.
I don't know if anyone else remembers, but BM said he gave his 400 Iraqi tours bff, GD, $4000 for helping him search. GD had to take off work etc.

On a different note, remember BM saying he had $70,000 cash in his safe and it went missing, basically accusing SM of stealing it to run away!? I don’t know if he thought that or thought LE “stole“ it! Lol. Maybe BM needed to give GD $70,000 for staying at his home when Suzanne first went missing. hmmm. Who knows?
all my .02 and MOO.

IIRC, $70,000 was also the amount BM was paid for the subcontract to build the wall in Broomfield. My personal belief is that BM claimed the theft so he could blame someone else (I.e., SM or LE) for why he didn’t have the money to pay it back given that he didn’t produce a wall that met the terms of his subcontract.

Just another BM triangulation to evade accountability.

Can a professional penalty be levied on Eytan somehow?

It depends--a penalty for what?

Any party including a concerned citizen can file a complaint to the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel for investigation but the OARC jurisdiction is limited to enforcement of the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct. (If clear and convincing evidence, the attorney can be Ordered to pay the cost of the proceedings).

The office has no jurisdiction over civil or criminal proceedings, where sanctions for proceedings are governed by the trial court.*

If there is clear and convincing evidence of a minor Rule violation, the office pursues an appropriate remedial solution, such as a diversion agreement or a dismissal with an educational letter. This achieves the goal of the office by protecting the public and educating otherwise upstanding attorneys while not stripping them of their livelihood.

For more serious misconduct, the office pursues a disciplinary sanction against the attorney’s license, which can include private admonition, public censure, suspension, or disbarment.

In determining the appropriate sanction, ABA Standard 3.0 directs the
Court to consider the following factors:
(1) the duty violated;
(2) the lawyer’s mental state;
(3) the actual or potential injury caused by the lawyer’s misconduct; and
(4) the existence of aggravating and mitigating factors

Complaints/Discipline - Attorney Regulation Counsel

ETA: * Most recently, I recall Danny Masterson's former lawyers being sanctioned with fines for sharing discovery materials from the criminal case with an attorney who was defending the church in a separate civil suit filed by Masterson’s accusers, according to court documents.

The court said the lawyers were aware of the court’s “repeated directives and orders to refrain from providing criminal discovery to litigants and attorney’s in the civil case.”

Quoting my own message to append.

Does anybody else recall something about when BM was a house guest of the Ritters, how every morning he'd allegedly gather his supporters and conduct what was best described to be more like a pep rally, and then leave? And nobody was sure what he was doing.

284. The Defendants authoring the Arrest Affidavit knew from the 2020
Search Warrant Return from Apple that the “second device” identifier is not a
second “device” or phone, but instead likely identifies that Barry and Suzanne’s
iPhones were connected to the same iCloud account for a while.
-.-.-
Google in short:
Is it good to use same Apple ID on two devices?

Conclusion. Apple ID directly affects Appstore purchases, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, Facetime, Apple Books, and other features on the iPhone. So, it is more like a one-device-one-ID affair.
And it is best if you avoid using the 2 iPhones with the same Apple ID.

Is some expert able to prove, what content BM could have seen from SM's phone (stored on the shared iCloud), which BM strongly denied to have known? For example: SM stored something, revealing her bf. BM said, he didn't know of a bf until after SM's disappearing.

 

[girlhasnoname]

Remember no work was allowed on Sundays per RTD policy

Exactly and during the height of Covid 19. He pulled that 'wall job' for that Sun/Mon out of his 'you know what'.

IMO

 

[FromGermany1]

Exactly!

All those rural mountains and ravines in Colorado! He could have thrown her down into somewhere deep with foliage where she'd never be seen again.

But no. He buried her in a shallow dirt grave.

BM doesn't do joined-up thinking. (But I'm glad, as hopefully justice will be served!)

Maybe, it was pure calculation by BM?
Many people would have expected him to disappear his wife down a ravine or into a well/mine shaft/mine tunnel, things he had knowledge of as a landscaper/hunter/landowner/citizen. On a road side, in a shallow grave, it could have been a killer without any knowledge, from another state perhaps. Of course, the grave had to be shallow and not to be a prepared deep ground opening, shoveled by a machine, BM had access to daily. - MOO

But would any random killer take the time to dig a grave? The digging of a grave tells me that they didn't want her found so that they could pretend she disappeared or was abducted. Anyone else, wouldn't care. They would have disposed of her, but she would have been above ground. MOO. This is why I think she was buried by someone that knew her and wanted her gone.

I think consumers are much wiser today regarding Apple products and services and I only wish I could count myself in that category!

Decades ago when it was understood that certain states were pretty much dependent on one specific carrier for reasonable cell signal/service, I was required to subscribe to cell service by both major carriers A & V, and owned two iPhones, one served by each carrier.

Following Apple's advice at the time, it was recommended that I only use one ID for both phones which resulted in both phones sharing the same iCloud at 5GB. It might have worked if Apple acknowledged that two new phones sharing the same iCloud should receive the equivalent iCloud storage of two new iPhones that do not share the same ID, but they don't! If you want more than 5GB, upgrade to iCloud+

IMO, I think Morphews most likely had a family cell phone plan with only one shared iCloud until SM decided to exit from the family iCloud and had a separate iCloud with use limited to her phone only. I think this occurred about two years before she was murdered, and SM refused to share her iCloud password with BM.

I think all phones except SM's phone were in BM's name, and BM and his daughters shared the same iCloud.

Also, we learned from MG that Macy's phone was inside BM's truck on Saturday when she was away on a camping trip. MOO

 

[SteelCity91]

The “ purpose “ of the fund stated that it was to support search efforts ( travel expenses etc ) if I recall correctly.

In April 2021 the FBI asked BM what became of the funds:

View attachment 451180

I forgot about that $30k GoFundMe money.. how doesn't he know or remember where the money went that raised to find his wife?? "I paid a lot of things" what the heck type of things did you pay for?.... And why would GD accept that money? I don't exactly know what GD did with that money and if he used it for the search thats one thing but if not..that just looks bad. IMO

Also I just looked up because I forgot.. it mentioned that "her family" offered a $200,000 reward. Was any of that from Barry or was that Suzannes family (dad, brother and sisters)?

The $200,000 was for her safe return...which he knew wasn't possible.

He didn't want anyone looking for the murderer or Suzanne's body.

He didn't spend a dollar looking for her or offer a real dollar to anyone.

Which teenager would do that: leave the phone behind??? Exact the teenager, who had a boyfriend?
