Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #55 *ARREST*

[Whiteorchids]

Comfort or confront?

I had read confront in an attempt to find out if he knew more about Suzanne. Who knows probably another rumor. Ugh why would anyone comfort him. If any of my friends did that I would not be happy. Why would he tell her friend yes I killed Suzanne.

 

[StarrDetective]

IMO, the pic of Barry with the woman getting takeout, was probably taken by a local who is following the case.

IIRC, LS said the woman was a friend of SM who flew in to comfort BM (whatever that means) and this would have been two months ago. She stated this on the NG podcast. IMO

i believe the report says confront rather than comfort.. altho first time i read it i thought it said comfort too, and i was like WTF.. but it makes sense that she went to confront him (or ask him tough questions) especially given he dropped her at a hotel.

Ah-ha Thank you for the correction.

Okay, we know that there was an "incident" that preceded the murder. I've been trying to think about who would be close enough to Barry and Suzanne to witness or know about an incident. The house cleaner is one that I came up with.

Speculation here: Does anyone think that the house cleaner saw something that made her figure out what happened? Perhaps, the "incident" involved things broken in the house with Barry saying that Suzanne cut herself.

Could Barry have called the house cleaner to help him clean up the crime scene without her knowing that it was a crime scene? Or, maybe, she came by on her regular day and saw Barry cleaning up and he made up some explanation.

Then, Suzanne ends up missing right after that. The house cleaner seems like one of the few who would have reason to be inside the home around this time.

Perhaps, the house cleaner isn't as much of a girlfriend as she is a witness...Someone noted that the police were over at his girlfriend's house for several hours after his arrest. I wonder if this girlfriend is/was the house cleaner.

Just my imagination running wild...

That's how I watched it. So obvious. It's said that Barry is a true crime fanatic. You'd think that he would have practiced his (fake) plea. Body language is often discussed as an important aspect to know if a person is lying.

I believe that police that are in another room observe people that are being questioned to pick up on body language "tells."

this is so true. One of my relatives was a police detective and administered lie detective tests. He once said he knew who was telling the truth or lying before he even gave them the test. Body language. When I watched Barry”s televised plea for his wife’s retun, he was shaking his head “no” the entire time. This is one of the biggest tell-tale behaviors of deception.

Shades of Scott Peterson. I feel certain that Barry was shocked that the world would not let Suzanne's disappearance fade into the background, no matter how much he avoided doing or saying anything to bring attention to her.

The same thing with Scott Peterson. He didn't want to be in the spotlight at all. He wanted it all to fade away. In fact, Laci's stepfather said that Scott would grab tons of Missing Posters and head out, stating that he was going to distribute them everywhere. They were found dumped in the trash. I'm glad that Laci's and Baby Conner's remains washed ashore and Scott was finally arrested.

I hope that Suzanne's remains are found, and the same justice awaits Barry.

i thought he is like Scott Peterson as well. He was surprised that Suzanne’s family was not going let her disappearance merely fade away. Total narcissist.

Comfort or confront?

I heard "confront".

 

[ZoriahNZ]

Depending on context, though, this preceding event could have been the call to the sister where SM expressed her fears (for what we don't yet know).

 

[Boxer]

Of course! I'm only wondering who is able to capture these exclusive photos.

They have insane cameras and specialize in distance photography.

Which is why I think he dismembered her and that’s why the dogs hit on a few different areas during AM’s search he organized. If I was Suzanne’s sister I wouldn’t be so forgiving to a man who deceived everyone even his own daughters and by lying almost a year and still not admitting it. The family didn’t know if she was dead or alive for a long time they couldn’t even give her a proper burial because he killed and hid her. This is some kind of evil.

Yes, evil. If he dismembered Suzanne, I doubt he will ever tell them where she is. To reveal that would be the ultimate exposure to the world of his hideousness. Not the self image that he'd be able to tolerate. IMO.[/QUOTE]

I think that the woman is a realtor from IN, who was friends with both Suzanne and Barry. She may have been Suzanne's best friend when they lived in IN. If I'm not mistaken, I thought that I read that she helped with the sale of the IN house and/or helped them with their move to CO.

JMO.

Could the "incident", have been them arguing in public or while at a restaurant? Someone would have had to have witnessed the incident, whatever and whereever,

Yes Suzanne and Barry had a lot of friends in Indiana. It is my understanding that Suzanne’s closest BFF is the woman she went to college with at Purdue and the 2 were teachers together in Indiana. It is also my understanding this is the BFF Suzanne was texting with Saturday about this friend’s daughter’s upcoming nuptials, when convo abruptly ended. It is my opinion it is this same friend who made the recent tribute video to Suzanne as the video included pictures of this friend. The video I’m referring to had the “tick-tock” sound at the end. We have not heard a peep from this friend and I believe she will be a Star witness at Barry’s eventual trial. She, Suzanne’s bike mechanic Scot, and neighbor JR who Barry manipulated into calling 911, IMO will be very important witnesses at trial. We haven’t heard from any of these 3 publicly and I think for very good reason, because they all hold crucial information important to LE/DA’s case.

Before SM’s twitter was disabled, there was lots of info to be found about this friend, her BFF in Indiana. There were pictures of she and Suzanne sharing good times together and endearing messages between the two. They appeared to be very close and loving toward one another, like Sisters from a different Mother kind of relationship is the impression I got. My heart really goes out to this woman as I’m sure she must be absolutely devastated by Suzanne’s loss.

Why does everyone keep talking of an “incident” prior to her murder? Is it because her texts to her sister that she was scared? Just making sure I’m not missing anything.

I think his name is Andy Johnstone? His name is on the left corner of his DailyMail pic contributions.

Thanks. I wonder if he's not the photographer, but the "owner" of the photos as his name is also on the photos of Meghan Markle's dad in Mexico. Maybe to protect the privacy of the original photographer, or maybe he's just lucky and happens to be in the right place at the right time.

"In a press conference held Wednesday evening, Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze and District Attorney Linda Stanley defended their investigation from criticism that it has taken almost 12 months for detectives to make an arrest.

The pair admitted that they do not know Suzanne's cause of death, but implied that they have knowledge of an 'incident' that led to her killing. "

The States Attorney and Chief of Police made a statement referring to an incident that they are aware of. Hope that helps...
ETA I see southaussie beat me too it!

 

[LietKynes]

The only time I heard "the husband" was when his nephew Trevor, was referring to LE saying it's always "the husband".

Actually I think that someone speaking at Barry's behest said that he (Barry) wanted to be referred to as "the husband".
Early on in the case.
Imo.



As far as other evidence I'm thinking about ; the 911 call will likely be a feature at the trial.

I'm interested if the neighbor will say something like :
"Barry told me she went on a bike ride at 10 am and should be back by now, and that I should walk through the garage and if her bike isn't there --then she's still out riding; and maybe got herself into a creek, or a mountain lion attacked her, or a stranger abducted her.
And then he said you have to call 911.
Oh my gosh, Barry said he's so scared and worried ...."
Etc.
So that the neighbor's concern would be genuine.
More manipulation by Barry.
MOO

The arrest warrant is going to be something.

Nailed it.....I would only add that maybe this person and Melinda had the same information as to what was happening. That subtle Tick Tock sound was so Powerful!!!!

I can't remember who talked about an "incident" which led to the "event." Was it the DA? It was someone in the news.
