Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #63 *ARREST*

[MassGuy]

I wish it would have been clear which Christmas it was but like I said it really isn’t very relevant to the case. I am impatient like others to know the facts without the speculation and editorialist. I am growing weary of heavily edited videos.

If it wasn’t the last Christmas, then I think Andy would have given the year. He was refuting Barry’s claim that he hadn’t spoken to Suzanne in three years, so logically, it would have at least been during that period.

I think it was Christmas of 2019 though.

 

[Error505]

That stood out to me. Why do you think Lauren edited and jumped topic and never told anything except Andy said he called Suzanne on her birthday and put up a Christmas pic (from what year?) and Lauren never really contradicted Barry’s claim and just totally dropped to something else. That really hit my “this is odd” meter big time. It really has no bearing on the case how often or who Suzanne was in contact with in her blended family but this case has been fraught with this kind of peripheral stuff. She is the one who introduced Barry’s statement.

BBM for emphasis
The “peripheral stuff” you mentioned, imho, has been sorting the wheat from the chaff so to speak, and is the direct result of BM muddying the #fact waters with lies. BM has lied numerous times regarding the few facts in this case we have and had “friends” muddy the waters with lies and mis-statements they were told by BM. LS just proved BM lied about SM not having any contact from any of her family for 3 years! BM has consistently been dishonest, which, I think the evidence will be submitted in abundance by the DA. If BM’s lips are moving……..
MOO

Ok, thanks to @Cindizzi the mystery is solved. In the audio clip towards the bottom of the article, Gene speaks to Lauren about spending time with Suzanne in Okeechobee, Florida “two years ago.” So we’re probably talking about Christmas of 2018. In any event, it proves that Barry is a lying liar who lies.

What a disgusting and manipulative man BM is.

Totally USED his daughter in that situation - placed her between himself and Lauren, trashed Suzanne's family (who are also his daughter's family) in front of his daughter, scared and angered her and then blamed Lauren for it, and made his daughter HIS protector from the scrutiny and inquiries of the press. Says one thing to Lauren and leads his daughter to believe something totally different.

EVERYTHING Barry said was to pull his daughter closer as his protection and to alienate her from others.

I hope they gain enough distance and separation from him that they are finally able to consider and see how they have been used by someone from whom they deserved so much better. And that they then consider whether some of those from whom they have been alienated (like Suzanne's family) might have been treated just as despicably by their father, so they should engage on their own and form their own opinions.

If Barry and those who enable the worst in Barry are all you have, you need better.

ETA: P.S. When he convinced the eldest daughter she needed to sign that petition for guardianship, it was himself he was serving. And at both daughters' expense.

Classic behaviour.
Borce Ristevski also couldn't get those words out of his own mouth "I didn't have anything to do with the disappearance of my wife". So he allowed his daughter (and, at one very early point, his wife's aunt) to spring to his defense in front of a bunch of journos.

As far as the daughters distancing themselves, it will all depend on how much loyalty they feel. Will they testify against BM? Are they still visiting him in jail, perhaps providing him with extras so he doesn't have to have only jail fare? Time will tell, but after following the Ristevski case, there is a chance that the daughters remain under his manipulative spell - despite loving their mother too.

"Publicity stunt". My god. Yeah, that's as far as I got earlier, right before that. That he could put his daughter through that kills me. He has no soul.

Just Posted Today - New Video from Lauren Scharf. Starts out discussing the neighbor’s call to LE (non-emergency number) for a “welfare check” regarding SM on Mother’s Day.

Wow! If E&N ever considered putting their client or his daughters on the stand, watching videos like this would surely punt that idea into low earth orbit. MOO.

I have to wonder if the girls have ever watched/listened to/read any reports about their mother and father.

I think it is probably important to consider that the daughters have likely been conditioned throughout their entire lives.
They are very likely (imo) unable to look at this whole situation objectively.

Dad has always been the head of the household (no equal marriage partnership), dad has always called the shots (and, so far, that has worked out for them so they trust him).

It is very possible that the youngest daughter sprang to BM's defense because it is now their turn to help him, the dad that they believe in, after all he has done for them during their young lives (in their minds).

I feel a heap of empathy for the daughters, because I think they are a product of their conditioned lives.

Yes, that could be said for any nuclear family. It is possible they were exposed only to their parents exhibiting a normal marriage and relationship their entire life. If you tune out the social media speculation it is easy equally to imagine a family where one spouse is the primary decision maker or a family where one spouse is an abuser. The kids could just not have been aware of friction.

We just simply don’t know the dynamics. Melinda gave some hints but even if Suzanne was thinking about divorce it could be that she wanted autonomy and not that she was running from a decades long abusive spouse. If prosecution feels they need to hint at a motive we may get some insight into what was really going on. People rarely know what is going on in a marriage unless one spouse takes someone into confidence. If there is going to be a “shocker” in this trial it very well could be related to the private not public side of their marriage. It is anyone’s guess.

He really puts the a$$ in classy. Coward...

Can we vote for this as the comment of the day?
Because, all the "bam!" right here.

My impression (from Suzanne's sister) is that Suzanne married a very controlling man. With her gentle nature, I can imagine that Suzanne went along with decisions by the 'sole head of household' and used her own ways to smooth the way for the girls. Keep things peaceful for them (and for herself). Made the best of things and kept joy in their lives.

This would leave the girls oblivious to the fact that any of dad's decisions were not good ones, or that he was not to be completely trusted. imo

In other households, a spouse may raise holy heck at their spouse's decisions/viewpoints, and the children may need to develop critical thinking skills and look at differing viewpoints.

Spot on. I too believe that Suzanne sheltered them and the BM was careful in front of them and/0r explained any confrontation away. That's what an evil bast**d does.

"If prosecution feels they need to hint at a motive"? Yeah, I think they'll do much more than 'hint'.

I think the motive is going to be solid; we will know why Barry did this.

I’d be stunned if it wasn’t financially motivated.

LS attached that Christmas pic to her tweet on September 24, the first day of AM’s search when announcing she wouldn’t be able to attend. I’m sure she had really been looking forward to meeting AM. Shame she couldn’t be there. I think maybe the pic was a message to someone.

Good thinking. I’m still wishing for an explanation why she couldn’t report from the search, seemed really unfair!

Badabingo! hehe

They technically don’t need to if they have enough evidence that he killed her. My thought is if their evidence is weak, motive might help the jury…but they don’t need one.

However, in my opinion, they have plenty of motive and the evidence is more than compelling. I've no doubt that a guilty verdict is inevitable.

I recall our discussions centered around LS not reporting on the awesome Moorman search. That's when Chris McDonough first held a bright light to shine on Salida. LS and DM made a major impact in the world learning about Suzanne.

Barry, lying all the time, then producing a 26 second whispering plea "I want you back so bad, Honey" captured audiences, and, we wonder, "How is he going to explain himself?"

I'm eager for the next LS video to drop. I've always felt a threat or threats were made that the tv station could not and would not ignore so LS was kept safe during the hazardous time during the large search party. Others were threatened, so Team Lauren wasn't the only one. Adventures with a Purpose left by stating they felt their lives were in danger. Toting a rifle, BM walked up to his BIL and informed AM that he was about to step onto private property.

No trespassing! Andrew was looking for the jerk's missing wife. Audacious, indeed.

I was just going to say the same. He blew any chance to testi-lie . Bad move by Barry but totally expected..
