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

[EggSalad]

In the mountain of information disclosed this week from the PH, I thought I read that Miles, Macy’s boyfriend, pointed out to LE that Suzanne’s baby blue bike helmet was in the garage on May 10 when LE responded to Puma Path. Then it wasn’t and was discovered days later on the side of the road.

I know it was said that her Camel Pac (sp?) was discovered in her car. Then later her sunglasses were also discovered in her car that had made its way to IN after it was sold.

Does anyone know if the information regarding the helmet was shown/discussed in the body cam footage shown in court when the officer approaches the Morphew garage and Miles and his Dad are seen emerging from within?

I don’t think that would be accurate, as LE locked down the house on May 10 and BM would not have been able to recover the helmet while they were in possession of the home.

It certainly appears that JL was supporting Barry


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.

Re: JL supporting Barry. JL saying he didn't think her husband did it is #1 - pure speculation on his part backed by no facts & #2 - JL feared/fears BM killing HIM; so CYA only!

JL is just not in any way, shape or form a standup guy. His self interest is #1 to himself. Disgusting.

MOO

Barry confirmed it was the .22 he was using to shoot chipmunks."

I wondered if Barry used a standard .22 or the short rifle he was charged with? Different weapons?

My inference was incomplete and unintentional. What I meant to say about JL supporting Barry was that by not coming forward....he was supporting Barry and his alibi/defense. He should have put 2 and 2 together and contacted LE asap.

 

[EggSalad]

was the .22 the short rifle?

By connecting the dots, I’m almost certain it is. A quick google search of short .22 rifle brings up a wealth of options, all of which look like a typical rifle that a hunter would use.

 

[Megnut]

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.

And based on his precision, it would appear that he knew her exact location prior to arrival...

Perhaps strategically placed trail cams? (which he may have collected and disposed of), location trackers on Suzanne's phone, or actual real time views OF her phone... reading along....

That home should've been a pleasant sanctuary nestled in the mountains...

Not a hunting ground.

Barry boasting about 8 80 dead chipmunks held up against the birthday video of a chipmunk running along Suzanne's leg, safe and protected.... it's just jarring how cold he was and how warm she was....

And how volatile the endgame.

He wasn't going to let her leave. Period.

Unknown. @Scootie98 - I responded to you earlier with a good speculation on this by @MassGuy

 

[OldCop]

I could be completely off with my memory of it being close to their property. Is that intersection close to Puma Path at all??

Here’s a couple of pictures that might help visualize the area.

 

[Truecolors]

I looked back at the article where BM says, “if one person got saved from this.” Full quote:

“This is the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me,” Barry explained. “But I have got to keep my faith and trust in God. And Suzanne trusted the Lord and if one person got saved from this, she would think it was worth it. And we are just a Godly, loving, caring, family and this thing is just a tragedy.”

‘People don’t know the truth’: Suzanne Morphew’s husband breaks silence after three months | FOX21 News Colorado

This language is typical in evangelical churches, and his context here is heavily religious. By “got saved”, I don’t think he means Earthly saving. I think he means eternal life saving. Basically, I think he’s parroting what he’s hearing from deeply religious family. Maybe the idea is that he and Suzanne were on a bad path, but this tragedy has led BM back to the path of the righteous.

It is super interesting that this quote would lead JL to suspect BM. I wonder if he shares the religion background.

MOO

 

[Scootie98]

When the charges were originally brought...there was alot of talk and discussion about the illegal short rifle charges. Some thought LE was just piling on as many charges as possible, maybe as a bargaining chip....others thought maybe he killed SM with it...How did that rifle figure into the equation types of questions. At no time did anyone speculate about the possible use for tranquilizing, that I recall. But LE charged Barry with it and took possession of it. But if LE thinks Barry shot Suzanne with the tranquilizer from the short rifle...it only supports my contention that he shot her up close...not from a distance. The accuracy is bad enough with a bullet....a tranquilizer, I would think, is even more dependent on close range...very close range. I think he snuck up on her while she was sunbathing...she may or may not have seen it coming but couldn't escape it.

 

[dkryder]

Just curious: What are Websleuthers’ ideas about WHEN BM killed Suzanne? And WHEN he put her someplace? And WHERE? All which fit what we now know about BM’s truck movements. (I am still confused about the Range Rover and if it had tracking data.)

Last thread a knowledgeable poster pointed out that one cannot just go and spontaneously dig a deep hole in mountain soil/rocks. I agree.

Many many threads ago a very clever poster pointed out that recent spousal/child murderers use familiar job/hobby knowledge to try to outsmart LE. I agree as that’s been the case with Frazee, Watts, Redwine, S Peterson, Henthorn, and even Letecia and her hiking/shopping places.

I am personally trying to reconcile the truck movements which LE presented and the (so far) lack of info regarding cadaver hits at PP.

I think Suzanne's grave was pre-dug. Might have buried a large tote or drum that he then put a foot of loose topsoil on and after placing the body he planted something there. Location I don't know but a property he was well aware of. Maybe used an older vehicle that had never turned up on LE radar. MOO

 

[Tortoise]

With the sounds of the water gushing from the river would anyone at a neighboring property have heard Suzanne if she screamed? I suppose a lot depends on wind direction too and if the neighbors were indoors or not.

 

[EggSalad]

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.

All JMO

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

 

[osu]

OK. But we know that 3 hours before the reset, the truck arrived at Puma Path, so I'm still not seeing where there is a 12-hour gap in data prior to the reset.



One thing about this -- he was apparently also asking them to schedule to come out to the house for a hot tub repair -- if SM was drowned in the tub just 1-2 hours before, this seems like such a risky move on BM's part. What if the spa guy said "Hey, I have some time right now, I can pop over and take a look."?



Yes, it's quite close to Puma Path and is the main (or only) route to get to Puma Path and their neighbors' homes.

MOO

Maybe BM used a *faulty hot tub* as a reason to drain all the water from the hot tub and then scheduled a repair with the spa store afterward?

How do you guys think he disposed of her phone?

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

Side note not related to quoted post:
I was on a year long drug trial for ketamine used as an antidepressant. If anyone has questions about how it reacts in a human (rather than as an animal tranquilizer), feel free to ask any questions. I am an open book about my mental health issues and all the different treatments I have tried. I will say this, ketamine was the most effective medication I have ever been on and became FDA approved around the time Suzanne was murdered, but it isn't a drug that would be prescribed and sent home with her. It is currently only administered in a medical setting. Any questions please feel free to ask away. As I don't want to get too far off topic, if your questions are about how this medication is used for depression treatment, please ask those in a private message so we don't derail the thread.

 

[Tortoise]

Interesting to note the FBI has actual footage of the trash run where he disposed of the tranquilizer material.

 

[seekingjustice**]

BM was stunningly calculating which is demonstrated by the level of planning he undertook to cover his tracks. I think the most important bits in BM's mind was to make sure that the body was never discovered and to destroy any evidence of a crime taking place. But..BM took his foot off the break, so to speak as soon as he's on the road to Broomfield. Suddenly we see disorganised sloppy behaviour. Stops along the way for the first of many trash runs, multiple changes of clothing, more trash runs, 15 minutes at job site, shoes and clothes getting thrown out, 5 plus hours inside hotel room, lies to LE when questioned about job and not once did he try to conceal any of these actions from CCTV. IMO, BM completely believed that he could fool LE with his bike riding story. That is the only explanation I can think off for why his behaviour changed from one extreme to the other.

 

[EggSalad]

Regarding BM’s vehicle data. When he arrived home around 2:43pm that Saturday. Was the log on his truck that the door was only opened but not closed? Does anyone know?

 

[Scootie98]

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.

JMO

I think the "if one person got saved" meme was Barry gaslighting the world...he wants the world to accept that she is gone and be willing to move on. He was making her disappearance her memorial at the same time...He wants the world to accept the circumstances that he created, just like he wanted Suzanne to accept the circumstances he created....and which she battled and resisted for a very long time apparently.

This is quite profound. Barry actually brought up the fact that he had a .22 in his hands at or about the same time Suzanne's last communication occurred...and with Suzanne at home at that time? So Barry, his rifle and Suzanne are confirmed to have been together at a specific time...and the information was supplied by Barry himself after the FBI agent asked him what he was doing. That is quite amazing to me.
