Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #61 *ARREST*

[Boxer]

Mother’s Day. Let’s work this out as if Barry had nothing to do with Suzanne’s murder. He left early in the morning to do what kind of prep work? What would he have been doing? He could not have worked on site to any degree, as Sunday work is not permitted. He could not have called suppliers, as they were closed. What necessitated hotel rooms for his workers, when I would imagine that they travelled distances early in the morning to get to job sites without hotel rooms? How many days work should the wall have entailed? Did Barry expect to be back that evening anyway, to spend the remainder of Mother’s Day with the wife and kids? If he didn’t know Suzanne was missing until 5 pm or after, what kind of work did he accomplish in the many hours he was prepping?

Agree.
Hotel rooms have on Sunday night have no work related purpose.

Typical would be leaving at 5:30am to get to work site at around 8am then maybe getting a room over
Monday night.
None of it makes job related sense without supplies being ordered in advance.

I've always just assumed she was using a landscape rake as well, since she never actually said anything about using anything other than a rake.

Hmm. Made me think. Did BM let others drive his bocat? Maybe she was she more a laborer than an operator.

 

[Momofthreeboys]

I thought the same, she was using a landscape rake.

BobCat was going to be in the shop in a matter of a few hours or less that day to be fixed, outfitted with a different part. Both?

Yeah,...I'm chuckling at the idea of a contractor putting his excavator in a wet high water area and "zipping" the whole probably 25 ft at it's widest point. That kayak launch "beach" area is just a fraction of the river frontage and the houses are fairly close together so that lot width is not all that big.

 

[Momofthreeboys]

Now that I’m thinking through this, I wonder:

Did BM work Friday night because he was planning to call it a day early on Saturday but still wanted the job to be on schedule?

I was always curious if the Friday night beach site activity could be related to the murder but maybe it was just so BM would have more free time on Saturday to execute his plan. We’ve started to learn a lot about how BM spent his time on Saturday and most of it points towards premeditation.

I missed the fact that he was working on Friday night at the river house? I guess I thought he and MG were there on Saturday morning?

You may find some answers to your questions in the article below. BM worker said it looked like he did about a half hour of work, but Lauren’s E.A. Outdoor Services source said he believed BM didn’t do any work on Sunday, said they would not have approved him to do so. In addition, city ordinance requires special permit to work weekends which BM never obtained said permit. Nor were any supplies ever ordered and workers had inadequate tools to be able to do the job.
IMO, BM going to Broomfield on Sunday was not for work related reasons. IMO, he used going to Broomfield on Sunday as a flimsy, fake alibi that he concocted to distance himself and be far, far away from home when SM went “missing”. IMO, he spent Sunday in Broomfield cleaning and disposing of evidence, took a shower and a nap, and waited to get the “family emergency” call.
Snipped from article at link below and BBM:

“The source also said that the work was not considered particularly urgent, according to the new report.
Further, Scharf said she found that the city of Broomfield did not issue a special permit for work on the site to be completed on a weekend, which city ordinances reportedly require.
A Colorado-based contractor who worked for Barry Morphew told Scharf that when they arrived to the site on Monday, May 11, it looked as though Barry had done about half an hour of work. But the Indiana-based source who works for E.A. Outdoor Services told Scharf they did not believe Barry did any work on the wall that Sunday.
“Him having to be there on Sunday, Mother’s Day, to do that job was a lie — because we wouldn’t have allowed that if we had known,” the worker said.

“Interviews and documents Scharf collected reportedly show that necessary equipment for the work in May was never ordered. One of Barry’s contractors told Scharf that they tried to do what work they could on that May Monday with the tools available to them, but acknowledged it was inadequate.”

I've never seen anything in the MSM that says she was actually using that bobcat, so is it just an assumption that she was because she said BM wanted her to rake out the beach "flat flat flat"?

I'm not a landscaper, but "rake out" to me means with a rake. I've raked out plenty of areas in my own yard flat with a rake. If a Bobcat was used, I would say "smooth out" or "level out". MOO.

IMO that is what they were doing. Leveling it. Per the article.

Agree.

None of it makes job related sense without supplies being ordered in advance.

So where's the screw up with materials etc.? The contractor said he knew Barry was going to be working on it in an interview with Lauren. MG mentioned that he had mentioned the Broomfield job before that weekend, but she thought it was just going to be the two of them. JP said the inspector showed up Monday. Lauren and I think JP both mentioned some section of the wall that was to be higher. IF the wall was not going to be higher then they probably didn't need more brick, they could just unstack and restack everything existing, BUT if the design was changing then whose responsibility was it to order brick? MG relays that Barry said it was "coming" on Monday. In my mind, if the general contractor knew they were coming did Barry push everything ahead a couple days to fit "his" timeline? Because everything sounds to me like he did plan on being in Broomfield that week.....but from what MG says it sounds like it was sped up. For me it's not the wall job in that Suzanne isn't there and the job was loosely planned. It sounds more like Barry sped up the timing which I agree is suspect although doesn't explain who scheduled the inspector JP mentioned that showed up on Monday.

Was Friday night when the elderly lady heard equipment noises?

Interesting. I had no idea, although the 'beach site' always looked small. He probably did use the Bobcat to put the rocks around it, but maybe that's all. Who knows at this point what he really did there and if LE found anything when they dug up the concrete. I'm thinking they did. Hope so.

It does seem that the work was actually going to be done the week after Mother’s Day. I don’t think anyone intended to go up to Broomfield on Sunday, including Morgan or Barry. It could have been an early Monday drive up, coordinating materials along the way, first inspector on site at some point Monday, work and another inspector or two Monday and Tuesday. There was no legitimate reason for Barry to head up to Broomfield at 5 am on Mother’s Day.

At some point their investigation took on steam, MOO finding evidence spurred them on.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Hey, @Ontario Mom , I found the MG interview and a little more context to support the use of the bobcat.

‘I’m not the other woman’: Second contractor speaks out about Suzanne Morphew investigation | FOX21 News Colorado

“Barry had worked on the beach site Friday evening,” Gentile said. “Saturday, he had asked me to clean it up and rake it out, because we were going to bring it out to level – so it would be a beach sand and not muck.”


So in that context, she is raking out the beach area so it could be leveled and not mucky (get the land above the water line). So what she was doing was flattening the ground in that area and removing loose debris and rocks, so they could then put sand on top of that area, aka leveling it up.

So at that point in time, the beach area was very much still a raw work in progress and would not be something that is worked on with a hand rake.

That was the same interview I was referring to, lol. I mean it makes sense she'd be using machinery for landscaping but she never does actually say she was using the bobcat. She never mentions it at all in this interview. I'm sure it not even important in the long run, it's just bugging me, especially now since we know BM was getting work done on it the very afternoon he told MG work was being cut short for him to go spend time with Suzanne.

I think you're right though to be bothered by it. That bobcat is going to be key somewhere in all of this, I feel sure.

MOO calling the daughters victims is legal as it brings certain legal benefits and protections.

Whe. I heard them being referrwd to as "victims" I thought maybe they were victims of fraud, or being tricked into committing fraud by BM.
But fraud it is not on the list of charges, so is the judge bending the legal definition? of
Using the word "victims" to qualify them to enjoy the legal rights of
a "victim of a crime." ?
To colloquially call the daughters "victims" because they are deprived of a mother by a murderous father doesn't mean the same thing at all as "victim of a crime."

 

[Ontario Mom]

I missed the fact that he was working on Friday night at the river house? I guess I thought he and MG were there on Saturday morning?

Both, actually. According to MG in her interview with LS, BM worked at the site the night before, then BM and MG worked there again Saturday. She expected to work all day, but BM called the day short around 11am when he said he had to go make "the wife" happy, with hiking or biking.

Maybe his plan was to order on Friday or Saturday, but something so big came up he forgot and plunged ahead anyway on his schedule without ordering.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Was Friday night when the elderly lady heard equipment noises?

It depends on which interview you watch

Clarifying: there was a MSM video posted the day the media broke the story about LE digging up the concrete on the river site, and IIRC, the son of the elderly lady (in town to visit her for Mother's day) who heard the noises implied it was Saturday night. (someone will correct my fuzzy memory I'm sure, lol).

That video has since been deleted, but the one that's been shared since, implies the loud noises were Friday night. I hope I got those details accurate, it's hard to keep things straight, especially when things get deleted and it's gone on for a whole year.

In the document the judge sights the relevant description of "victim" in the state of Colorado. I suspect legally both girls and possibly Barry, since he is accused but not tried and still considered innocent in the legal sense, fall under the definition but don't quote me on that as I haven't read the entire Colorado document. Victim rights are state governed so it may vary from state to state.

Per the same article, that wall job was rescheduled three times.

Was Suzanne already looking over her shoulder?

What was he up to?????

Seems like a busy weekend to suddenly plop down to do Bobcat repair... which tells me he HAD to.

To me, that means he broke it prior doing something nefarious and needed to fix it stat. Or it was broken and he needed it not broken so he could do something nefarious.... or both.

Why....

I think the only truth that escaped his mouth is that he DID cover a 200 mile radius.... not searching for his wife, however. But making her impossible to find.
