Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #71 *ARREST*

[DizzyB]

I am curious about them saying that they did not find evidence of infidelity on Barry’s part. I’m going to stick with that in my head, because the investigators said so. If it makes a difference to a juror, it has to be considered. Suzanne told her friend that he was cheating, she may have told Melinda. But it could be a ruse to make herself look better. She could have also done the searches for cute girls near Salida and celebjihad for evidence against him. Heck she got a spy pen and only ended up recording herself cheating on Barry. I think she wanted him to be the bad guy. We have to consider these things. He truly may have only wanted her, for life. She didn’t want him, and he wasn’t having it. The story may be completely different than the one in our imagination. The end stays the same, Barry was not going to let her go.

I think the Holly B confuses me ... this article says "(Holly B) said she and Suzanne became friends as their daughters began spending time together. “She’s lots of fun and likes to things with the girls, and that is why I don’t think she would have left on her own,” “Those girls mean too much to her to do that.” "
Suzanne Morphew’s family speaks out; Their thoughts three months after her disappearance | FOX21 News Colorado

Unless MM1's best friend's mother is also named Holly?
I don't know MM1's best friend's last name.

How did I ever miss there being a 3rd Holly? So Holly Burman from the article is also a good friend of Suzanne’s from
Indiana so Suzanne has two friends named Holly from Indiana. Holly Burman and Holly Wilson.

From your article:

Holly Burman said she and Suzanne became friends as their daughters began spending time together.

“She’s lots of fun and likes to things with the girls, and that is why I don’t think she would have left on her own,” Burman said. “Those girls mean too much to her to do that.”

Burman shared one of her favorite memories of her friend with FOX21 News.

“She called one day and said let’s take the girls to Gene’s Rootbeer and Hotdog’s in your jeep,” Burman said. “It was a last-minute thing – beautiful summer night – she and I had ballcaps on, no makeup on, and we drove 45 minutes in the jeep. Top-down, hair blowing everywhere, and just laughed and giggled, it was just carefree fun!”

**Also the very good friend, traveling companion and college roommate of the oldest Morphew daughter is also a Holly B. (Booton)

The men’s wear house is an odd location. It’s at a mall in Broomfield. The only thing of note is that there is a park and ride and bus stop in that immediate area. So perhaps that is where BM was spending his time seeing as how he had stopped at a bus stop previously for trash dump #1

Takes 8 minutes to drive from HIE to MacDonald’s to Men’s Wearhouse. Maybe he just drove along that main road looking for dumpsters.

I think JL might believe he was the one who got saved from being killed by BM.

In other words BM would have killed him first if he could get to him first. Instead one person was saved because BM took SM’s life I feel when he states this that he is justifying not taking JL’s life and that Suzanne would have been okay with sacrificing her life to save JL’s. Jmo

"Saved" is a Baptist basic of declaring faith. It is not about physical life. It is about the soul. I still think his meaning was, "See, life is short. My wife has disappeared and is likely dead. But her soul is safe because she was saved. And if you believe, you too can have eternal life." Grew up a fundamental Baptist & believe I understand his point of view. Still twisted in a really sick way. His way of offhandedly justifying her death and in a way, separating himself from it. "Hey, even Suzanne would agree with me." Like I said, twisted.
JMHO

I think it got tossed in the river behind their home or whatever water area was near the bike scene. It would be destroyed by being in water and once it died and was no longer trackable, it would be very hard to locate and the river/water current could have carried it far far away. Jmo
Snipped for focus.

Except the phone pinged and made an outgoing call
5/10
2:53 am Outgoing call on SM’s phone
3:26 am BM car door opened and closed
3:58 am BM cell moves from home to near 225/50 where bike found
4:30 am last phone ping SM

There was DNA from 3 males found on Susanne's glovebox in her car. One was a guy who was in prison for sexual assault. HOW do we know Suzanne didn't have someone over on Mother's day since everyone was gone! None of us know, including Barry.

Thanks so much for clearing that up. Talk about odd. Are there really *5* Hollys, not just 3? That would fit more into the pattern of this case.

Being facetious. Lol

I'm only on page 4 at the moment, but I would appreciate something clarified in case the data is not ahead of me.

Where is the information coming from that there were no sheets on Mallory's bed?

This one tiny issue is not easily googled for the proper origin. Is it true or is it an assumption? TIA

Why does anyone feel bed linens were in the clothes dryer at the PP home? It's certainly fine if that's the case but I have never seen the origin of that information either.

This one threw me for a loop too, but in a different way... Why does MM1 have a room at PP home? Wasn't she already living on her own? In the tweets it stated that SM had driven MM2 to MM1 in order for them to go on this roadtrip to Utah. Also, from SMs messages to SO she seemingly only talked about worry when MM2 graduated and moved out of the home. So, was MM1 already moved out leaving only MM2, SM and BM residing in the home? There was also indication early on by TN that there were fewer people living at PP than it originally seemed. Granted, we could assume that MM2 is the focus because she is younger and still needed to finish high school, so she would probably be the last child to move out, but that's not always true. In my own family it's proving not to be true because my 17 year old who will be a HS senior this year is already way more independent than my 23 year old who still lives at home. Of my 3 kids, I believe he will be the last to leave home even after my 11 year old. Not sure how dependent or independent either of SMs daughters are, but either way, she seems to be concerned about the younger one moving out,, to the point that it makes me think MM1 was already on her own.

I thought I remembered that his car door didn’t close when he arrived.

I get the feeling that as you mentioned, he did this to avoid detection. I also think BM used find my phone on SM to know her location just as she did with him. I believe BM turned his phone on airplane mode so she wouldn’t know that he was home if she checked.

I think he spoofed those texts and SM had no idea he was coming home. BM rolls up quietly, phone in airplane mode and gets out of the truck without closing the door.

He possibly has the .22 short rifle and tranquilizers stashed away in the back yard. He creeps around to be undetected, gets the weapon and then sneaks around the yard until he can get a clear shot of her.

JMo.

They said that in the last photo SM sent to JL she was laying on her stomach. I think BM could sneak right up on her and shoot her with the dart. Depending on what drug he shot her with, it may have taken a while to incapacitate her. Could she have gotten up and tried to run and he chased her?

Yes, and I need to edit it to note that the cell tower was near Poncha Springs.

 

[EggSalad]

Can spoofing be detected by LE? Thx in advance.

Yes, but it’s not easy. Although I’d imagine the FBI is well versed in this and has all the tools needed at their disposal. I also believe the spoofing service provider would need to be subpoena’d.

 

[MrsWatson]

Maybe BM was lingering at the Men's Warehouse lot anticipating his need for a new suit? j/k

I think maybe he took that time to go over his truck, and his person, to make sure he got rid of everything he meant to dispose of, and go over what else he needed to do.

 

[Fireflize]

So appreciate time line!
Going off my notes from tweets, I thought BM was looking for a turkey in the river at midnight, geez. I knew it seemed nutty, but it was BM, so...LOL

If he tossed the phone into water, it may have taken that long to stop working completely. Barry left the house headed toward the area the bike was found at 3:58am, but the phones last ping was at 4:23. That seems like the right amount of time for a phone to die in water. Most phones are somewhat waterproof unless they are left submerged for an extended time period. The outgoing phone call (which actually has 2 different dates attached to it, depending on which reporter you follow) could have been an accidental call when BM was rushing around gathering up what he thought should be missing for the bike ride theory to work. I assume her phone was one of those items because most people listen to music while exercising or just have it on them in case of injury. BM at one point suggested SM could have stumbled away from the bike accident scene and ended up in the water. Which could explain why the phone was there if it was located in the water. It's all speculation on my part, but it does actually fit within the times we have been given. Jmo

Many college age children still come home in the summer (some take years to move out on their own) I don’t find it odd for both to have their own rooms at PP- I do wonder if mom moved into one room after the “I’m done” text- I think she did.

I am assuming they know who that call was to-anyone got ideas? I’m thinking Barry or JL.

 

[Megnut]

Welp. Did he, at some early point, realize he'd been separated from the tranquilizer cap? Desperate to find it. Retracing all of his steps...the woods, the water....

He wasn't searching for his wife, but he may have been searching for sumpin that fell out of his pocket.

I think she was already dead - so it could be a misdial or if they have similar phones he accidentally used hers by mistake but I notice they left that off the AA and I’m sure they know who the number was - I’m trying to remember if phone Numbers were on Frazees?

 

[steeltowngirl]

I've been thinking about BM's reference to "if one person is saved with this tragedy," all of this would be OK with SM.

I think the person that BM believes was saved is SM. And in his warped mind, he thinks he saved her.

It's clearly BM's belief that divorce is wrong, non-negotiable. I think he's been quoting Chapter and Verse to SM for so long that she too was trying to convince herself of this every time she told JL that they should be "husband and wife."

SM's own parents were divorced and happily remarried to their second spouses longer than they were married to each other. Divorce was not foreign to her.

I do think SM was ready to move on and never look back. I think she affirmed this on May 6, and when she reached out to her sister a couple of days later, she was truly committed to getting out.

MOO

I wonder if Barry could have been smugly alluding to JL’s life being saved. Projecting that Suzanne would rather have died herself than have Barry go after JL.

I don’t buy that Barry didn’t know or at least suspect she was having an affair. “Barry claimed not to know about the affair when investigators told him, Harris said. He said he thought she may have been having an emotional affair, but not a physical one.”

Barry Morphew preliminary hearing: Investigator confirms Suzanne was having a 2-year affair

He also told HW if he knew who it was he’d “cut his balls off.”

He wanted to know who Suzanne was seeing, and it raged him.

[Ontario Mom]

Yup. And LE found a tranquilizer dart cap in the dryer and a 4 pack of tranquilizer darts with one missing. Presumably in the trash where BM admitted to disposing of tranquilizer material.

Trying to catch up but wondering if you have a link for the info on where the 4 pack with one missing, was located?
