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

[MadTing]

I thought that, face has thinned imo

I'm wondering if he's stopped using steroids and lost a lot of weight considering they are illegal and the police have been watching him for the past year.

So at this point BM probably doesn’t know what LE has on him. When he finds out, what are the chances he reveals the location of the body?

‘My first reaction is relief’: Suzanne Morphew’s sister reacts to murder arrest

Raw interview

Yes!
Just last night I was thinking, wow, every one on this thread have signed up to keep the drive for justice for Suzanne going for until justice happened, and it was looking like BM was getting away with it, with his true crime mindset.

 

[elliefant]

I thought he has aged a lot too. Gratifying to think perhaps he has been consumed by ageing fear for the past year.

 

[Synergizer Bunny]

I live here too and agree we are more casual. Also - wish she appeared more professionally

I personally don't care what she is wearing or how she appears. Maybe, she is working 24/7 to make sure this case sticks.

 

[Inthedetails]

I still think that bobcat was parked weird ages ago by the trailer.
***gasp*** maybe they found her blood on the bobcat?????

That was my first thought.

I don't know why but this photo of him makes me feel so sad, and not as angry at him as I've been for the last year, girlfriends and all. There is something so obviously broken within his soul in that mugshot, and my heart is absolutely broken for his daughters, and his mom, and Suzanne's family. You did not have to do this, Barry. I don't know. I'll sleep on that thought. Thank you, fellow Websleuther's, old and new, for your enthusiasm in seeing this case to justice. It's been a wild ride.

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.

I know I’m still catching up but I wonder if he tried to bribe Sheriff Spezze as he was a family friend. The girls played HS volleyball together. MOO

Getting in shape for his new life/new female friend(s)?

Chris will be live, too:

Thanks for this, most links were geoblocked!
Here's his mugshot by way of exchange

[Summit1964]

Looks like he's aged a lot in one year, almost doesn't look like him.

Agree...looks like he's lost a lot of weight due to anxiety (probably worried about getting caught).

Hope that it was worth it, Barry...Now, you'll be spending all of that blood money on lawyers. Poetic justice.

JMO.

What can Barry bargain in exchange for the location of the body?

 

[whitelilac]

The "with deliberation" is getting to me. To add that to the murder charge, they must have something solid that points to that, rather than it being a rage/spontaneous/even accidental killing, or unknown.

What do they have that shows he made preparations, I wonder.

 

[KrisCo16]

I know there’s been disappointment with the PC, but they had to have one to announce his arrest and honor Suzanne. It’s likely we had way more time to absorb that info than usual because they gave press the time to drive out to Salida to attend - it’s a hike from the Denver area. Because of the delay, we already had time to get most of the info.

I also thought the DA was pretty sharp and competent. I actually wondered if maybe she was dressed undercover for some other visit today so as to not tip anyone off about the strength of a case, related or not (a la Dan May showing up at Gannon’s house, or KK in disguise at Kelsey’s home). I’m hopeful they’ll do this Justice.

 

[jondaba]

Personally, I hope BM will be offered some kind of deal for the information that leads to SMs body.

The modern trend in murders is chop up and dumpster. Viz Dulos, cavett. IMHO Barry cannot produce a body to help cop a plea.

 

[Boxer]

I thought he has aged a lot too. Gratifying to think perhaps he has been consumed by ageing fear for the past year.

Maybe now he can confess and begin the process of being saved (while in prison for life) so Suzanne will be happy. What a great pile of dung he is.

He thought people are basically just too busy to notice the innocent being violated, well they are not too busy.

 

[Synergizer Bunny]

Barry seems like the type that has the mindset of "Prove it." I don't think that he will cooperate at all.

Just wait for the old "rush to judgment" and "Barry was their only suspect from Day One" mantra from the lawyers.

 

[choosername1]

I think he told someone. How else could they have a theory about the cause of death? They are not planning on arresting anyone else, so it's not like he had an accomplice who flipped.
