Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *Case dismissed w/o prejudice* *found in 2023* #110

[Chimera]

I'll give him this: he probably was stunned. By flashbacks from jail.

JMO

He could be in fear that Suzanne's body could tell a tale ?

 

[Lyanna]

I think I asked earlier but I am curious what statements IE has made in court or in motions that are "lies". She's many adjectives depending on one's perception but I'm not so sure she's a "liar" in court.That would not be in her career interest or anybody she's defending to lie outright in court. As far as obfuscating I think both sides in the initial trial did abit of this and it's totally not uncommon as a defense tactic like it or not. There were holes you could walk an elephant through in the original case on the prosecution side I've always felt, and she saw, and she pounced. It's her job. I do not think she "lied".

I do think she lied.
She knows more about Barry right now than anyone ever has, because his life and freedom rely on it.
She's known who and what he is and what he's done right from the off. The "human" in her would have known, remove the defence lawyer title and take away all the legal phrasing/technicalties.
You read that AA - he has done this. There's no other reasonable version, none. It's not the Twilight Zone, Bermuda Triangle, alternative reality or The X Files.

It really is that simple, husband murdered his wife who wanted to leave her abusive relationship and he couldn't accept that.

Jmo, moo, imo

That, and the fact that the prosecution now has a body, which they did not have when he was initially charged. It allowed his team to claim that Suzanne wasn’t even dead. Not anymore.

A body within range of the timeframe he had in which to conceal her....

Apologies if this has been asked and/or answered, but is there any confirmation as to where Barry lives now? Thanks.

I don't think there's confirmation other than evidence that he's probably back and forth between IN and CO.

BM is currently involved in a $15M Civil lawsuit in Colorado, and litigation was started against him in May 2023, in Hamilton County, IN, over a property matter. Here he used a Noble, IN address known to be connected to his mother. We know that BM did not accept service here at IN address (tacked to the door) and he's not personally appeared in Harrison County, IN Court, and appearance instead filed by his counsel:

A you please give me one hole “you could walk an elephant through?” Just one.

There must have been a few because the DA dismissed the case. That does not happen unless there are problems with the case...IMO

 

[MassGuy]

The case was dismissed because they couldn’t present it, full stop (but not).

Hoyland couldn’t explain the digital evidence (Which buried Patrick Frazee in the Berreth no-body case).

FBI legend, Jonny Grusing, of Berreth, Redwine, and (double wife killer) Henthorn fame, also couldn’t testify as an expert.

What good is a case if you can’t present the evidence? This “the case was dropped due to a lack of evidence,” is pure garbage.

 

[10ofRods]

There must have been a few because the DA dismissed the case. That does not happen unless there are problems with the case...IMO

Are you unfamiliar with how that came about? There was a problem with the DA providing proper documentation on the expert status of the experts, so the Judge sanctioned the State by saying the experts would not be allowed to testify as experts.

That's a problem with the State complying with the rules of criminal procedure, IMO, not a general "problem with the case" (which I take to mean "not enough evidence" or "no law really broken.")

There was plenty of evidence, but one of the State's witnesses turned on them (Cahill - now parted from service from the FBI, due to this gaffe, IMO) and the other experts were denied their ability to testify as experts - and of course, that hurt the case very badly (and so, is an obvious "problem with the case" but not the usual kind - the judge had other options, but chose to bar the experts from testifying as experts).

That would include DNA and telemetry experts. So the State chose to withdraw w/o prejudice and reserve its right to refile. In theory, as long as they had their ducks in a row, the State could refile again at any time.

IMO.

Filing a Motion alleging discovery violations and requesting sanctions-- only to be called out in Court by the Judge that not being able to access the discovery in your possession is not the same as alleging you have not received discovery, and seeking sanctions for non-receipt. Where I come from, we call this a lie.

The case against BM was dismissed w/o prejudice on April 19, 2022. On January 24, 2022, falsely claiming in court the defense has only received 5% of the discovery for the case is a lie.

Trying to use a new Judge to go around a ruling and allege you've not received all of the police/investigators' emails when the prior Judge previously ruled this Defense Motion for all emails was too broad and negates limitations imposed by search warrants, and that only Rule 16 evidence is discoverable, is another lie.

Issuing a press release falsely claiming another body was found the same weekend SM was recovered, and stating more news by LE coming tomorrow-- just to up the count to 5 individuals missing/located in Saguache County, is another lie (no news of another body ever followed).

And I could go on...

Prosecution says the defense thinks they get a checklist of everything that law enforcement officials have done and everything that has happened in the investigation on the side of CCSO and CBI. Prosecution says that's not appropriate.

Prosecution says attorney for defense thinks he is sitting on information and hiding it. He says that is not the case and the defense has everything that he has. They feel the defense is trying to go around an order made by previous judge on the case.

It must have been immensely galling for BM, notorious cheapskate, to have been forced to dispose of his beloved fleet of coolers. I bet he weeps a silent tear every time he passes a Coleman display.

Especially since he couldn't just go bury them in a field in order to avoid the pittance charged by a town dump.

Or...?

I'm pleased cheap skate BM must be so stressed watching his money being drained by legal fees.
He now will have insufficient funds for cosmetic procedures.
Next we'll hear poor BM has an illness, due to the stress produced being wrongly accused.
Poor guy!!!

This.

Sure we can say that this one suspicious thing didn't prove it, or that other thing didn't prove it, but when we have to basically dismiss or excuse double digit lies, nearly 100 I don't recalls, and the fact he was the last to see her, he knew she wanted a divorce, her own texts show his behavior and oh yeah he deleted the ones that made him look bad.... so someone else did it AND we have to excuse all of the other stuff as he just lies and he didn't recall or he's a jerk, but he didn't kill her. I think his lawyer knows and I think it's possible his girls deep down know. There is coincidences and then there is overwhelming circumstantial evidence that logically can't ALL be explained away.

A you please give me one hole “you could walk an elephant through?” Just one.

Running around chasing Suzanne at 30 mph with a dart gun for starters. When I read that in the AA and in the preliminary I knew instinctively there were going to be issues with their theory. It could have all been so different sadly if they would have just held off until they had all their facts together. But we all know that.

Barry admits to it. You’re literally ignoring the most important aspect here. Please tell me you aren’t calling him a liar.

 

[Boxer]

I disagree a 2 page AA would have sufficed. This was a no body case with no physical evidence, not even blood. The AA for Patrick Frazee's arrest was also about 30 pages. MOO

Police had the victims tooth in Frazees bonfire, and a witness who aided in covering up the crime. This AA will be naturally be longer.

Letecia Stauch AA was 32 pages. Long before they knew she had transported the body out of state and all the weapons/methods she had used.

Nope. Nowhere in the AA or preliminary did the prosecution claim BM was chasing SM at 30 MPH!

That allegation exaggerating the speed BM was moving (OP forgot to add through walls) was one more lie by the defense. And just to be clear, I don't believe a dart gun is involved here but certainly don't need to lie about my opposition's theories to make my case. JMO

ETA: Add link for day 2 of prelim

SALIDA, Colo. (CBS4) - On day two of a preliminary hearing for Barry Morphew, who is accused of killing his wife, Suzanne, much of the morning was spent rehashing Suzanne's relationship with the man investigators have referred to as her lover, Jeff Libler. In the afternoon, prosecutors outlined Barry's and Suzanne's movements in the days surrounding her disappearance.

[..]

Investigators used GPS records and data from his Ford F350 to pinpoint his locations. Grusing showed a map of [h]is cell phone pings around the house stating that they were all over the outside of the house, indicating he was chasing Suzanne while she was still conscious.

[..]

On Tuesday, Morphew's defense team attempted to poke holes in this theory saying it was purely speculation and that the cell phone pings showed Barry going through walls.

"Do you still believe you have evidence that he is most likely chasing Suzanne?" Barry's attorney, Dru Nielson asked.

"Yes," replied Grusing.

"What?" She asked exasperated, "Due to the chipmunk statement?"

"Yes," replied Grusing.

I don’t believe those words have ever been used in a sentence in court before.

 

[Kemug]

“The family is in shock,” said Morphew’s attorney, Iris Eytan.

She said that as Suzanne’s next of kin, Barry Morphew was notified by the coroner that his wife’s remains had been found and that he was so stunned, he could not recall the conversation."

So THAT'S how Bury explained his not having notified Iris! Seriously??! (I do hope he was stunned, though - stunned and afraid that his goose is suddenly much nearer to being cooked)

I presume Iris meant that Barry could not recall the exact conversation, not that he had no idea there had even been one. So that really doesn't excuse him not contacting her.

 

[Megnut]

Reminiscent of conversations with Suzanne he couldn't recall.

Like her wanting a divorce.

Or what they talked about over 3 day old veggie porridge stew.

Or anything she said after 2:47...

Worth reminding ourselves that if he did in fact go numb and didn't hear the part about where they found her -- or forgot to ask -- it's not like there was a sudden gap in the data in his brain.

I wonder what flashed through his head first:

Oh, Suzanne...

Oh, SD...

Oh, IE...

Oh, chit.

Or was it an image?

Prairie sagebrush...

Rigor mortis...

The cold air, his camo jacket...

Or did it go straight to dollar signs?

All so calculating, self-serving, ugly.

He left her there on Mother's Day morning.

Cruelty heaped upon cruelty.
