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

[osu]

THIS ^^
In my opinion, Macy is guarded knowing the seriousness of her father's potential fate. Mallory from what I have read, is very close to BM and have a close bond with their love of hunting together. Forgive me in advance, as I cannot find the link from when this was discussed in earlier threads (a post by Suzanne about BM and Mallory hunting together w/a photo). Macy was closer with Suzanne.

I don't think Barry said he was shooting chipmunks with darts. He just said he was shooting them (probably w/.22) - to explain his movements around the house, rather than explaining the darts/tranquilizer.

jmoo

was the .22 the short rifle?

When Chris McDonough talked about Barry being a hunter, I get the feeling that he knew about the dart gun and Suzanne being his prey on this particular Saturday.

Using a tranquilizer gun on small chipmunks sounds extremely farfetched to me. However, it wouldn't surprise me if Barry took the opportunity to kill any living creature that annoyed him just for the fun of it.

JMO.

who counts how many chipmunks they have killed? Or, does 85 chipmunks equal 400 tours in Iraq?

was the .22 the short rifle?

Unknown from testimony to this point. See good speculation below.

So I just had a thought:

According to yesterday’s testimony, Barry brought up the excuse of shooting chipmunks, to explain his phone movements around the time Suzanne is believed to have been murdered.

He waited an astounding 9 months to reveal this to investigators.

Now, we know a tranquilizer cap was found in the dryer, and one dart from a pack of 4 was missing (Carol McKinley tweet I posted earlier).

The FBI agent was interested in what weapon Barry was using to hunt chipmunks, as he knew that a 22 could fire those tranquilizers.

Interestingly, the “short rifle” charge is dated between May 9, and March 4 of the following year.

I think this tranquilizer shooting 22 rifle, may in fact be the “short rifle” in the weapons charge.

It’s interesting that the chipmunk story and weapon charge date is so close in time.

I think he did have affairs and that may be left until trial to explore. Discovery may not be complete, IUKWIM.

I think he had more than one affair. I think that will come into evidence at some point. I agree his main source of ego-fuel is his own appearance, but now, he's probably going to throw himself (like EARONS) into looking like a beaten, crippled man who was driven to crazy behavior by a beautiful cheating wife (who also had some claim to the purse strings). I think they'll find he had an AM account, and a Tinder account as well. Buried in all those terabytes of data is that information...it'll come.

if there were any women in his life, will be interesting to find out if LE interviewed them.

 

[Scootie98]

BM's truck was rebooted at 5:33pm 5/9.

To reboot, I suspect he disconnected and reconnected the truck's battery. I'm assuming this was the "mechanical thingy". Did the truck's data recorder have any time spans with no data? As in, the truck battery might have been used as a power source elsewhere?

Forgive me if this has been covered before, I am SO behind.

One more reason why Barry will never take the stand. Whatever he told LE about this is all that will ever be disclosed. Hopefully, they covered the reboot with him in detail.

 

[Megnut]

I agree. Cadaverine... or vomit or urine or etc.... But also the coat/boots could carry certain pollens, dirt, mud or even certain bugs which could identify certain places.

I was thinking camo coat for the purpose it was meant for camouflage. He had a tree bucket. 1+ 1 = 2

The bucket and coat absolutely had to be discarded.

As for bugs, pollen, etc, I suspect his windshield was covered with a film of something, hence his trip to the carwash to wash just the windshield, an odd thing to do, amid the weirdness of dumpster hunting.

I hope LE was able to get helpful botanical evidence from his vehicle.

The creek by their home is the most direct (and private) route to where her bike was found. Did he maybe walk that way to decide where to drop the bike?





I'm confused about the truck reboot. If not the door and gear data, what data did the reboot block?

All the times I mentioned above took place on 5/9, but there was "data" about the door openings less than an hour prior to the reboot. So where is the gap of missing data?

TIA for explanations.

I am interested in what they know immediately following Barry putting the truck in reverse and backing it up 95 feet. Why that distance?

 

[Scootie98]

From day one of hearing "DNA found in Suzanne's car's glove box partially matched to three people in a criminal database for sexual assault."

Does anyone know the significance of this? I am drawing a blank. Might Barry us it to claim that Suzanne was hanging around with bad people?

No expert, but it is my understanding that a partial match can mean a close relative can provide the match. It doesn't have to be the actual sex offender. This one is the defense looking for a rabbit to chase, imo.

 

[Scootie98]

However if he had stashed it there and was checking on it....
Hmmm...

But would he need a whole hour?
Maybe he was check on his cams too--watching her..
Wasn't she afraid of cams in the garage--BM watching her coming and going? The garage worry of hers is in a tweet.
Hmmm..

Last night I did extensive research on "can I disable my gaps data by disconnecting my battery?"

God forbid I ever end up dead, my google is filled with the craziest stuff!! Lol!!

Anyway, the stuff I was finding out was unbelievable. Yes that's exactly what you can do. However, as you said other things are going to have to be reprogrammed. And I would think that the truck would document all those things being reprogrammed.

So that gives me such an eerie feeling all the research he did ahead of time to know that he could do this... Creepy creepy creepy......
.

If there is evidence that he did research this ahead of time....that would be devastating to the defense. Hopefully, that is in the terabyte on standby.

 

[Megnut]

An observation about Barry, having followed this case from the start, when Barry is caught in an inconsistency, he doesn't slump; he gets angry. As in, how dare you question me.

He is probably SEETHING in court. He didn't make one single mistake. "They" screwed up finding it.

As for one person being saved, I think he means his glorious self. All his talk of suicide. I think his thinking was that divorce was a hard no, so to prevent that stain, someone had to die. Till death do us part. Manipulative, playing the victim, I believe his threats were idle but I trust he was desperate (image, money, etc)....

To him, Suzanne dying saved his life. From a suicide he was never going to do.

His brain is addled.

It's all so sickening.

Bumping this most excellent post by @oviedo.

I think if LE can prove that BM got that 4-dart case right before Suzanne disappeared, they would be able to prove the timing of the tranq cap being found in the dryer.

Im also wondering if they could get water or electricity records to show an approximate time of when laundry was done. With the girls out of town all week, I’d imagine there was less laundry being done. So there could be a spike in both water and electricity at some odd hour Saturday late at night.

Although, maybe I’ve just watched too many movies.

^^That, and I'm having a difficult time grasping that BM was chasing her around the house to tranquilize her when he could no doubt subdue her very easily and restrain her and then tranquilize her (if that is what he did, was tranquilize her). It seems obvious in my opinion, that he has hid/disposed of her well so it's not like he would worry about leaving bruises, strangulation/ligature marks, or any injuries for that matter, but of course, it appears he didn't want to and didn't leave a blood trail. But again, I just can't picture him chasing her around the house to tranquilize her, but again, we don't know at this time what happened and we may never know either how she met her demise, but IMO, he seems to have a short fuse and is a loose cannon.

I get the sense that he shot her with the tranquilizer while she was sunbathing...if I recall, she was on her stomach. I see him sneaking up behind her, and may have been watching her from a distance to make sure she wasn't taking a selfie..then shot her with the dart while she was laying down. I think she then got up, panicked, ran toward the house or vehicle....and a physical struggle ensued until she passed out. Thats the order of things that I speculate happened.

Could someone repost that post? The quote isn’t showing it.

I was curious if the truck moving back 95 feet was so that another vehicle could be backed out of the garage and used. Would love to see more insightful speculation.

At 4:44 p.m., BM’s truck door opened and closed. At 5:25 p.m., the gear shift went from park to reverse and moved backward in the driveway 95 feet-At 10:17 p.m. on May 9, BM's phone was taken off airplane mode and it was home.

I think he used a second vehicle to take her somewhere and his phone was in airplane mode the whole time until he returned home at 10:17pm

SM's phone made an outgoing call at 2:53am of May 10. That was a half an hour before the door event occurred on BM's truck.

Curious who the phone called? Was it a mistake - did they have similar phones ?

At 3:25 a.m. May 10, BM’s truck doors were opened and closed. The phone moved toward the location where the bike was found, according to Grusing.

I think he was planting the bike during this time - however, MH said it was very steep so that seems dangerous in the dark?

At 4:31 a.m. May 10, BM's phone went back into airplane mode. His phone came back online and he traveled toward Broomfield. Agent Grusing pointed out that GPS can still be tracked when a phone is on airplane mode.

Walker said the last activity on Suzanne’s phone was from 4:23 a.m. on May 10, 2020. Her phone pinged from a cell tower in Poncha Springs - Around 5:37 a.m., BM was heading towards Buena Vista, driving through Johnson Village.

I think the phone is between that cell tower in Poncha Springs and Broomfield - was he dumb enough to put the cell phone in a public trash can? Poncha Market on May 12 together with the note?
And a store manager at the Poncha Market described an encounter with Suzanne’s husband, a few days after Suzanne’s disappearance was publicized.

“Somebody knocked on the window and it was Barry Morphew,” Tiffany Butala said.

The note left by Barry, Courtesy of Poncha Market
Butala is a store manager at the market and watched Barry on May 12th around 8 p.m. write the note on the back of a receipt.

so many theories we had about what he was doing, why and where - and to only get pieces of the timeline (knowing the AA is full of details) is frustrating.
ETA - the note was written on may 12 so he didn't put that in the trash on May 10 - i just can't believe he would put the phone in the trash in the first place.

Oh, great post. When I was watching the tweets live, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the walking out of the hotel with a planter and throwing it away. It makes perfect sense that there was a tree in it and that tree most likely marks where SM is located.

 

[Scootie98]

It certainly appears that JL was supporting Barry

Someone linked Tyson's Draper video for me the other day because I wanted to find the interview with BM's Mama ---she spoke to Tyson briefly at the end, while she was waiting in the truck.

But the video that was linked was an edited version---and the end with Mama was cut off. That video said that Tyson took his original version offline---so if anyone has that original one, that we saw back at the start, let me know.

I seen this as very possible if not likely. I have felt that the Range Rover plays into this story...especially since it was sold and placed in the hands of others just like the properties were. I have heard that the RR did not have the same navigational data recording that the other vehicles did...If that is the case, Barry would know that; which would explain using the RR to move Suzanne. Just a possibility.

 

[Megnut]

Rhetorical questions for the universe:

Did someone think that shirt changes during intermissions were disguises? That someone would think, "oh, so many men this way meant?" and not "seriously, Dude, no one spills on his shirt that fast?"

What was he doing for 40 MINUTES by the Men's Wearhouse?

At the hotel, he said he was hoping to slide in for a free breakfast. I might guess, on the contrary, he parked there intentionally on the side without cameras and hoped to gain access undetected by camera. Eventually he had to go for broke, went in through the front.

Once inside, I wonder what he did for five hours. A nap seems obvious.... but I wonder if LE had even more dirt on him for those hours. Ashley Madison comes to mind.

We still haven't heard about any coolers.....

But then, we're only halfway through the prelims.

While chasing her around the house is a real possibility, I picture BM moving around like a pretend military person rushing from hiding spot to hiding spot trying to find a clear shot at SM. I picture him moving around that backyard hiding behind boulders and then popping up once he had a clear shot. Much like a hunter.

was the .22 the short rifle?

Prosecutors Outline Barry And Suzanne Morphew's Movements On Days Around Her Disappearance

"During questioning in November of 2020, Barry indicated he was shooting chipmunks. Grusing asked him if he was using a .22 caliber rifle, which he said was important because investigators found a tranquilizer dart cap in the Morphew’s dryer, and knew that a .22 caliber rifle would also fire that. Barry confirmed it was the .22 he was using to shoot chipmunks."
