Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #72 *ARREST*

[lonetraveler]

and why wouldn't Barry have mentioned to Jeff Puckett on Saturday that he needed him on Sunday, if that were the case?

That always stood out to me too. I think that Jeff Puckett knows more than he says.

I believe Lauren posted it the day after his arrest.
That day rumor traveled round that she had been cooperating with investigators & sharing information but I’m not believing.
The scrutiny in Salida would make it tough, run fast S away from this mess!

Video was taken & posted by LS the same day of BM’s arrest 5/5.

Two events to honor Suzanne Morphew, nearly a year after she went missing in Chaffee County | FOX21 News Colorado

The first event is held on April 30, 2021, at 7 p.m. at Poncha Springs Visitor Center which is located at 7010 U.S. Highway 285. Locals who organized the event said there will be a bench dedication and a balloon release. This is also the same day SM would have celebrated her 50th birthday. All is welcomed to attend.
--------
Defense attorneys alleged in court Tuesday that SM also had a secret bank account, which received money on April 23, 2020, at 4:31 a.m.
Colorado dad charged with murdering wife found her texts with lover, prosecutors say

I wonder if the 4:31am receipt of money to her bank account was a birthday cash gift from her Dad? Interesting they did not disclose the amount. If the husband found out - he may have thought this money was "his" money too?

Those “meth heads” as BM called them, are going to help put some nails in BM’s coffin of LWOP+ 76 years! He so deserves that and much more! MOO

Isn't the 2nd link you posted an article that speaks of "facts" not public yet? Even the headline is inaccurate, if so. CM has admitted she inserted material she did not hear at the prelim. If you agree, could you not link a different source? If you don't, agree, I'm curious as to why not.
Thanks.

So is that where the missing money went from the garage safe? Hush money ? Then BM can say it was stolen ?

It could have, but who knows? I don't think there was $70,000 in his safe. JMO. The 'hush-hush' meant for MG not to turn her phone over to LE, which she did. She knows a lot and so does her phone.

Isn't the 2nd link you posted an article that speaks of "facts" not in evidence, at least yet? Even the headline is inaccurate. CM has admitted she inserted material she did not hear at the prelim. If you agree, could you not link a different source? If you don't, agree, I'm curious as to why not.
Thanks.

I am only interested in the bank account information from the 2nd link - it's MSM and as far as I know, accurate regarding the 4/23/20 transaction - is this what you are questioning?

 

[Error505]

IMO, the daughters would say what their father told them. I don't believe that she stole $70,000. The only way that I would believe it if it ended up in her secret bank account, which hasn't been touched, btw.

JMO.

BM also accused LE of stealing the $70k. (According to FBI Grusling) How could LE have stolen the money, if BM accused SM of stealing it. LE didn’t have access to the safe until SM was reported missing.
BM’s gaslighting and lying again. I guarantee there was no $70k. He was trying to convince people she had ran off with it. That didn’t work so he accuses LE of stealing it. Probably hoping to pull a homeowners insurance scam. He’s a lying crook, moo

 

[Momofthreeboys]

Chipmunks in Colorado (and elsewhere) can carry plague and hantavirus among other baddies. Someone like BM might not know that/believe it, but overall I think it's unlikely he would eat any that he may have killed over the years. MOO

They aren’t eating chipmunks lol. Animals can be cute and destructive like chipmunks and others are downright ugly and great at eating things you don’t want around like opossums. And there are some like coyotes that are downright nightmares and will eat your house pets. I could go on. When you live surrounded by nature, life has a different tone…you are invading their space. What might seem perfectly strange or abhorrent to a city/suburb dweller doesn’t apply sometimes.

No. Just wondering if posting the link is helpful since it has other substantial inaccuracies. JMHO

MOO picking off chipmunks is not a pest control solution.
It's for fun.
He may have been baiting them.

I agree. Tells me more about the man, personally.

After going over my timeline here are some random thoughts and questions:

- I'm getting the feeling there is another person is involved. We have missing money. By Barry saying it's missing that is his excuse for the missing $$$. He can steer his responsibility of the money to Suzanne OR he can say someone broke into the house, stole the money and took Suzanne. OR what if that money was used to pay someone to either A. Murder his Wife or B. Get rid of the body of his murdered wife? The lack of a body and the fact that investigators didn't find much in the house or on the property leads me to believe that Suzanne was taken far away from the house. Suzphone last pinged from 4:10am-4:22am far from the Morphew home. With Barry's phone pinging near where the bike was found AND him returning home @ 4:31am he can't be at two places at the same time. This is a problem!


On the 9th
- 2:47pm Barry turns his phone off.
- 4:44pm Truck door opens and closes.
- The next bit of info we get is that the truck computer was reset a 5:53pm. What happened in the 2 hrs between 2:47 and 4:44pm( Is this the time of the murder?)
- We also have the hour and 9 mins from 4:44-5:53pm. What happened then?

- The sheets in the daughter's room. What if the murder didn't happen at 2:47pm? What if they had an argument about the texts to Libler and that was all? Say they talked for awhile and then went to bed and instead of sleeping in the same bedroom, Suzanne went to sleep in the daughter's room. Could Barry or someone else gone in there and murdered her? Then she is wrapped up in those bed sheets and taken away or Barry takes the sheets and disposes of them on one of his garbage runs? Just another scenario.

- Barry's truck moves to the end of the driveway on the night of the 9th. From 9:24 to 9:56 it would appear from the truck data that Barry was in the truck for 32 minutes. What was he doing in there? Is Barry waiting in the car while someone else goes into the house to kill and/or remove Suzanne?

-3:58am- Barry's phone goes to the area where Suzanne's bike is found.
-4:31am- Barry's phone is back at the home.
He's got a lot of explaining to do here!!

- I have a feeling that there is an explanation for the tranquilizer gun and dart. Why would Barry admit to throwing it away if it had anything to do with the murder? That's not smart AT ALL. That puts a possible smoking gun in his hand. After being careful with everything else, why be so careless with something that can and will be used against him. It doesn't make sense. Don't be surprised if this turns out to be nothing.

- We need more truck info. For instance the cell phone pings that have Barry moving around to the bike area and back home, does the truck data indicate that the truck doors opened and closed at those locations???!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT AS IT'S ANOTHER INDICATOR THAT HE WAS THERE. That info is missing and needs to be accounted for. I find this sloppy work by the DA. They make a big deal about truck data yet when it is really needed to corroborate phone data they don't bring it up!

Prosecution is under great pressure to present all of this quickly - I think you'll see some of what you seek at the ending of the Prelim. However, this isn't about the public or what "we" think (I think something rather different than you do and I am going to have to check my own notes and a shared timeline for your claim about Suzanne's phone pinging far away at nearly 5 am, I don't recall that and boy did we discuss each tweet extensively).

I think your understanding of Barry's style is off. He does not want to be seen as a liar. He admitted readily to the FBI agents that he knew the voting fraud was wrong. He thinks he's very smart and he actually went into many (23?) meetings with LE without a lawyer. He had a public defender at first.

He knows with certainty that no evidence of that dart being used on Suzanne will ever be found (and right now, I agree with him - I do not think anything except skeletal matter is left of Suzanne and that will not show evidence of a dart or of any kind of dosing of ketamine or anything else he might have put in the dart).

In my mind, the dart will never turn out to be nothing. The trash that they did recover contained tranquilizer material and Barry admitted to it!

We'll probably never know exactly what killed Suzanne, but the GPS data still to come will fill in more of what Barry did.

Judge has said the overuse of time on the part of the defense will be subtracted from the next hearings. Prosecution will regroup - they went from an original list of 18 witnesses (most of them expert witnesses) to 8 and only got to 3.

High was 71 5/10/20 in Salida, probably a few degrees cooler at their house.

To me (and I'm a Californian), that's perfect sunbathing weather, especially at higher altitude.

 

[Synergizer Bunny]

Except this shows *he* turned her down on the hike.

I actually thought that his first plan was to kill her during a hike. Then, he thought better of it because it would be harder to move her body. So, he decided to do it at home. I think that he planned to use the dart gun in either scenario.

JMO.

 

[10ofRods]

Yes they would, @Boxer. I think that outgoing call was accidentally placed when BM was gathering up all the evidence around the house before he left to dump her bike at 3:58. Her charger is also missing. He may have picked up the phone when it was plugged in, yanked it, and accidentally hit dial. The truck doors opened at 3:26. I think he was placing items inside that he wanted to dispose of. MOO

Perhaps it occurred to him to make one more call on her phone. I'd need to know to whom the call was placed to guess much more, but really if Barry wanted to plan the perfect crime, he wouldn't have had her phone go completely dark from 2:47pm-ish on May 9.

Perhaps Barry had a burner phone (or two). Maybe he called that phone, knowing the number could never be traced to Barry (Suzanne's stepbrother says "He always paid cash...for everything." He could even call back from that number, to make it seem as if Suzanne had yet another paramour. He did the FB thing near midnight - he's still up, his adrenalin still pumping, as he's packing up the phone, he gets this bright idea to call his burner...one last time, to throw the timeline into further disarray.

And thank you for all your work on the timeline, @OldCop.

If you are correct...then that sets up objections by the defense for reference to the dart as being irrelevant and hypothetical. There is a basis for charging Barry with possession of an illegal firearm (short rifle) which I believe is more connected to the larger crime than what we currently know...and I don't think its just a piling on charge. The facts already place Barry in Suzanne's presence with a weapon in his possession (in fact, in his hand)...just prior to her last known communication with the outside world. I totally agree that evidence of the tranquilizer will be and is likely already gone.

I do wish we had more of a narrative. I guess that’s what happens when we experience a preliminary hearing before the AA is released. There’s not much of a story to follow, just basic information, which I guess is the way it is supposed to be. I can’t figure out how we got from point A to B to murder. From taking a hike and meeting the house cleaner, to texts about the marriage ending, to sharing pizza and soup and requesting hot tub stuff, to tranquilizer darts and chipmunks and alibi seeking. I hope that the next two sessions provide a bit of context so that it all makes some kind of sense.

How many meth heads did this guy employ? Is it possible one of them went to his house on Mother's day and caused Suzanne's demise?
