Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #54 *ARREST*

Can’t wait for the mug shot!

I wonder if he'll be showing his agonized furrowed brow, re his rehearsed FB Bs.

As per Lauren live with PE, Spezze told Suzanne’s sister that she would be the first person to know when an arrest was made, and he followed through with his promise.

This is great news!


Now we wait for arrests for the West boys and Alexis Sharkey.

 

[FairIsle]

Well, Well. We never left the house.
Happy Mother's Day to Suzanne.

There is a press conference at 3 MST

I'll second that.

No way should he be allowed to make bail with Suzanne's money, ill gotten.

JMO

I wonder if there is any way to lock up at least HALF of all that moolah he got as proceeds from property sales. No way should he be able to use guardianship to fund his defense for the murder (with deliberation!) of that incapacitated person!

Can’t wait for the mug shot!

More like, “smug shot”.

 

[NuttMegg]

This is why I love websleuths. We don't have to wade through a bunch of hooey like they are shoveling out re the "CW is innocent" movement on youtube with ppl who never heard of the case before netflix. GRRRR. The threads are here waiting, with all the background and with informed posters who will get us caught up.

I have to say, the "tick tock" sounds at the end of the tribute surprised me.

Beautiful memorial! It gives me some solace to know how loved and adored Suzanne is by her sweet friends.

Makes that tick tock at the end sound deliberate, a subtle warning as to someone's time running out. IMO

WHERE IS EVERYBODY?!!!!!

I got dropped of from previous threads as to "following" over the last year.., that is why I am so thankful for the "breaking news thread" here and @margarita25 for posting in such or I would not have known!

Was just saying yesterday about another case... when I don't continue to "subscribe".. I miss older cases unless someone posts in "breaking news" thread.

 

[PaulaDC]

I hope BM got his tips done for his first appearance......wouldn't want him to look disheveled.

Could be bribery... I certainly wouldn’t put it past Barry. But I was thinking more along the lines of him spinning tales to an acquaintance who happens to be in public office, and persuading the acquaintance to speak out on his behalf.

I looked up the language on the statute:
§ 18-8-306. Attempt to influence a public servant :: 2016 Colorado Revised Statutes :: US Codes and Statutes :: US Law :: Justia
Any person who attempts to influence any public servant by means of deceit or by threat of violence or economic reprisal against any person or property (BBM), with the intent thereby to alter or affect the public servant's decision, vote, opinion, or action concerning any matter which is to be considered or performed by him or the agency or body of which he is a member, commits a class 4 felony.
Attempting to Influence a Public Servant 18-8-306 | Denver Crime Lawyer (hmichaelsteinberg.com)
What Then is a Public Servant?
Under the very broad definition of a public servant in this law a police officer is without doubt a public servant.

A “public servant,” as envisioned in section 18-8-306 CRS, and is defined as follows:

“any officer or employee of government, whether elected or appointed, and any person participating as an advisor, consultant, process server, or otherwise in performing a governmental function, but the term does not include witnesses. “

A police officer, as an employee of the government, is a public servant. The definition is so expansive; it encompasses almost every employee of the government and even includes non-employees performing government functions. (BBM)


I read this as somewhat narrowly defined action - either a bribe, a threat, or possibly the manipulation of a public official that made them an unknowing accomplice to a crime (such as tampering with evidence??) But the definition of public servant is fairly broad and it seems would include firefighters - so if BM manipulated someone in the CCFD to help him, say, tamper with/destroy evidence - I think that might qualify here. JMO, MOO.

SUZANNE MORPHEW: Barry Morphew arrested on first-degree murder charges | FOX31 Denver

 

[Herat]

Has it only been a year since she went missing?​

It feels like 10 years have passed.

And now that I think about it, putting the house up for sale only 9 months after her disappearance seems very premature to me.

Unless you are planning on that money for upcoming legal fees.

 

[Hannah3105]

Lauren: A lot of people have asked me if they have found Suzanne, and we still don’t know.

 

[Miigo]

What’s this bear trap he’s speaking of?

 

[ColoGirl]

Andrew Moorman must be so relieved ...
