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

[FromGermany1]

I forgot about that $30k 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)?

I remember: $100.000 by BM and $100.000 by a family friend?

 

[Seattle1]

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

MG asked BM why he had MM2's phone but I don't recall his response. MG knew BM was using MM2's phone because she could see it was paired to his truck. My first reaction when I heard this was that SM wasn't the only person in that household who did not want BM snooping with her activity and/or device and I wouldn't be surprised if the teen w/bf had a second phone unknown to BM and that dad could not access.

"Barry Lied about those lies. Sums him up perfectly

Well, he is the most perfect example of a lying liar who lies that I've ever seen. The fact that he just kept on talking with LE and his 'friend" Agent Grusing goes to show what a self inflated ego the man has.

Oh Karma, I love you.

MOO

Discovery of Suzanne Morphew's remains could alter the course of long-stalled investigation

[…]

Ryan Brackley, a longtime prosecutor who has been a criminal defense attorney since 2019, said he believes the investigation should be treated like a cold case – and be put in new hands.

“You always want fresh eyes,” he said. “You always want new ideas, new people looking at these cases. Ideally, in a cold case, you are building off the work by prior investigators. You're building off the narrative and the theory.”

“I don't think that it makes a lot of sense in the Morphew case, given the history.”

It’s a history that has been fraught with controversy since Suzanne, 49, was reported missing on May 10, 2020.

Truly necessary with such a father! Probably he spied on every family member to be informed every minute of their lives, what may be going on. (Still virgin or not? Can I, the verrry proud father, tell of the virginity of my oldest, when we have a nice dinner with friends?)

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.

West Mesa Murders were all buried.

Your posts made the hair on the back of my neck stand up! Oh yeah, something was definately up in that BM & GD greeting. Great catch You've unmasked that GD is/was team Barry before SM was even killed. I am stunned!

I sure hope LE looked into GD's bank accounts for sizable deposits and his purchases. I wonder if there is a way to detect if they were somehow communicating with burner phones. There's been mention of an informant. A tip to LE about the location of SM's body. If GD helped BM, that would be a terribly heavy burden for him to carry alone. Hmmmm.

It would be interesting to learn if they remained close, drifted apart or had a falling out. And maybe the idea of BM getting away with murder then getting a payoff of 15 million was just too much for someone to stomach. All speculation and IMOO.

@Procrastinator Oh what a brilliant and clever mind you have

 

[SleuthBee]

I think he planned before and that call from a burner on May 5 was for a reason. Probably the girls’ trip was prompted by him, or maybe, when they left, he decided to use the time.

<snipped by me>

There is enough uncovered on this site in the last 24 hours that convinces me SM's murder was in fact a thought out plan. From BM listening to that Forensic file episode and the involvement with GD and his location being 15 min from where Suzanne was buried. I don't think I can dislike BM more.

Websleuths is onto BM!

 

[scapa]

She’s wildly overplaying her “cards” and she doesn’t have many as it is !

I wonder if IE is self-sabotaging deliberately at this point. Civil suit gets dropped, she can make the case that a fresh legal team will be now be required to defend BM (that he can afford) and she has still "won" a dismissal on his behalf that will help draw new clients.

Don't see her wanting to defend him again with a higher probability of failure and lower probability of being paid what she feels she's worth.

Next few weeks will be telling.

 

[kittythehare]

Found it ....

This is an interview by Lauren Scharf with Morgan Gentile. At the 4.58 mark is where MG speaks about being approached but they don't say who (a friend and a family member). IDK where i read GD was the friend, probably here, will try and find. MOO

I wonder how Morgan is doing?
I think she's great and will make a great witness for the prosecution.

 

[SleuthBee]

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

Make no mistake about it, I abhor withholding evidence and believe the DA and the DA alone should be penalized .... NOT THE CASE ITSELF! Penalizing the case denies an innocent woman justice for her brutal murder. There are reasons for the immunity extended to LE and they need to be understood. Do we really want LE to perform their duties with the fear of civil suits hanging over their head? Look what that's done to the medical profession.

Withholding exculpatory evidence was the DA's responsibility. There are remedies in place for DAs acting badly. Iris is well aware that the DA does not have 15 mil plus trial costs. But Iris proceeds anyway, misrepresents facts and tacks on a slew of other defendants for good measure. And she does it knowing that the entire financial burden will fall on the Colorado taxpayers.

Iris & Barry's civil suit is a threat to Colorado's judicial system as well as their safety. Salaries will need to be increased to cover malpractice insurance costs. If not, there is a possibility of calling 911 and noone answers.

Dropped, their case needs to be kick out on it's backside and told to never pull that crap on the judicial system again!

All IMOO

what evidence?
Partial dNA is evidence of nothing at all..
I'm pretty shocked at how IE's narrative has become mainstream.

 

[SleuthBee]

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.

Andy Moorman never got a dime from that fund and his search efforts were above and beyond a loyal brother. I doubt BM gave anything to anyone who searched for SM. Equipment, gloves, food, beverage ... something for their efforts? There is a reason no one saw his face during those searches.

It's been said if you listen to a pathological, they can't help but tell on themselves. With all the money BM stood to have for himself, $70,000 was a bargain. I wonder if BM realizes how much he has blamed, devalued and disrespected Suzanne since she went missing. There is a reason why everybody is pointing the finger at him. Iris might caution BM from over doing it as the grieving widower.

That is something that still bugs me deeply to this day. BM is a control freak and totally dominated all of the females underneath his roof IMO.

Coercive for sure.
I'm not sure of the current status of this particular paradigm however.
Sometimes people believe what they choose to believe...

 

[SleuthBee]

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

bbm
(appreciating the levity)
Barry's lies about lies and "ridiculous stories" are to the point of assigning numbers to keep them straight. Iris must realize her client will be deposed during the civil case.

Even if a father knows, it's not a topic for discussion with anyone but her mother.

BM has NO class, sense of decency or respect for the women in his life. Murder investigation or not, I am appalled at the way he discusses anything sexual about Suzanne. He faulted her for not showing him affection while she was getting cancer treatment and then was insistant on the investigators believing he and SM had sex. <modsnip: unnecessary>

Barry's Phone Goes Back into Airplane Mode

Has the significance of the location of Suzanne's last phone ping been discussed? The tower in Poncha is north of town near the intersection of routes US-285 and US-50. Eleven and a half (11.5) miles west of that tower would be about 3 miles west of her home near Monarch. One wonders what her phone (unrecovered) would be doing in that area in the wee hours of Mother's Day, 2020. The fact that Mr. Morphew's phone seems to go into airplane mode at or around the same time must just be one of life's little coincidences.
