Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #58 *ARREST*

BBM
This just reminded me of something that I originally thought of after hearing about the Broomfield trip.
To me, it seems like he purposely left the 'MAIL" there to provide an alibi.
I mean...who opens mail in a hotel room and leaves it ??
and just ONE piece of mail ???
ALIBI.... to prove he was there. That is all.

What if BM had a post office box where he had most of the mail sent because he was controlling and didn’t want Suzanne to see it?
He could have picked it up on his way to the hotel?

She also sounds suspicious about why he cleared out his truck. Right when Suzanne went missing.
Evidently, not something she considered normal behaviour, having worked with him for so long.

“It looked like Barry had emptied out his truck… all kinds of stuff that we didn’t need to do a retaining wall.”

Maybe he secreted SM in the retaining wall, and thus the need for other than the usual equipment?

 

[MsBetsy]

I noticed that. I think they’re likely referring to Andy, as they posted the clip of Andy’s appearance on Dr.Phil right under the info about being the public face of the search, which yeah, we know BM definitely was not the public face of the search for Suzanne.

Yes, he pleaded for Suzanne’s safe return exactly once, one week post her “disappearance”, which was posted to
Facebook on 5/17/20.

Yes, they also referred to the Dr. Phil show as an example. So it's Andy who should get the credit for being the public face for the search for Suzanne, not Barry.

My exhusband was running around on me. He had a credit card I knew nothing about. He had a post office box I also didn’t know about. People are devious, man. Anything financial that he might have wanted to hide from her could also be a reason for a P.O. Box. Of course, I have no idea. Just a thought.

The other employees were probably MG, JP, and whoever it was that Barry claimed messed up the wall job. I don't know who the fourth could be. Imo

I'm still catching up so apologies if this has already been discussed.

If BM had 9 employees he applied for a PPP loan for, why then, did he need MG to put together "a crew" for the Broomfield job? Why not just... call those 9 employees?

The retaining wall was put up the year before. Barry was just planning on doing the prep work to fix it, but apparently didn't do much of anything at the site, according to his employees.

 

[Goldenseal]

I don't think it was anything more than BM trying to sound like a Christian, and use the kinds of things Christians say, to shift attention away from himself.
And he failed, miserably, on every single level.

jmo

THIS. I'm positive it was as simple as this. He was trying to sound like a 'good Christian man' with that garbled mess, and perhaps a psychiatrist could sort it out, but essentially it was BM trying out some of the Christian phrasing he heard in passing from his wife. If he actually went to church every Sunday with his wife, I'll eat my hat.

Maybe since it was last minute his regular employees were busy working on other jobs. Or maybe he just thought the crew he put together were chumps and wouldn't notice anything. He did have a few negative things to say about them afterwards.

ETA - He also may have thought they would be the least likely to talk to police, or that they wouldn't be credible. He made sure to publicly state that one of them was an ex con, they were meth-heads, etc. Imo

 

[TKG]

I'm a little confused on the PPP loan. If BM didn't actually have 9 employees, isn't this fraud?

100!

I don't think BM had 9 full time employees for his landscape business. Just my opinion, I think the information he provided for the PP loan is likely false. Obtaining a loan with false information is fraudulent. You’re correct in your other post. If BM had 9 employees, one or more of their names would have popped up on social media, in the news via Lauren Scharf, or forums like Reddit If not here. Like others, I’ve followed this closely for a year, & I’ve never heard of BM “employees” other than the “contractors” he hired on an as needed basis. I think the PP loan is another example of white collar crime committed by BM. All MOO. Would love for others to weigh in if they’ve ever heard of employees.

My father-in-law has a construction business and last year his company applied for that PPP loan. My husband is a worker for his business. He does NOT have to pay the loan back BUT he has to show proof that the money is going to all his employees as a pay check. If my father-in-law, was to keep that money to himself then he would have to pay that loan back to the bank but since he showed proof every week, he didn’t have to pay it back. My husband did have to pay taxes on that this year. Hopefully that made sense

I would think for BM's situation, he has to show proof that the money is going toward his employees. In that article, if I'm reading it correctly, he filed for 9 employees. So he would have to give a weekly/bi weekly paycheck to his employees. But I doubt BM did it correctly and he kept it all to himself..IMO IMO!

You mean this loan pays for your company's employee's wages and doesn't have to be paid back! I've never heard of this before. We owned a business 20 years ago and when we were short we had to get a draw from the bank to pay employees pay interest on it and pay it back when we got paid on jobs. I never heard of getting free money to pay your employees in your business.

Yes. I am not sure when this forgiveness loan came out but it's help small business's with payroll.

If MG said Barry was acting off on Saturday, Suzanne was still alive. Someone saw them getting sandwiches at 4 p.m.

It must be because of covid?

It was part of the COVID pandemic relief for employers, so they would continue to pay their employees even if the pandemic impacted them such that work was scarce.

There are plenty of mountain towns that do not have US postal service mail delivery so yes if they don’t have mail delivery you go pick it up junk mail and everything that cones when you are near the town you have your PO Box. And frankly with online bill pay most people don’t drive out every day to get mail at the PO Box if they live in one of those spots.

Maybe he added Suzanne and/or daughters as employees on the loan because I know the more employees you add, the more money you get back. He might have had to show proof somehow they were employees but it sounds like he did fraudulent things in the past.. JMO!

PPP Loan Investigator: Mr. Morphew why did you fraudulently claim you had nine “employees?”

<modsnip: name changes not allowed> Morphew: Why not? Everyone else was doing it and I really needed the money. MOO

The gov was lax enough to give out money to these employers without seeing proof of taxes paid or 1099's filed? Yeah, I can believe it. Maybe just having 9 1099's filed for a year's time, even though few jobs were actually done sufficed as proof of employment. 1099 = what they give independent contractors like Jeff, etc, instead of paying FICA taxes, and health care, etc. for the employee. Unless it's all just done in cash anyway by BM. Or maybe he just filled out a bunch of them the night before filing for the covid relief.
