Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #75 *ARREST*

[swedeheart]

What would have happened to Suzanne if he put a common household item, like Chlorine, in one of the darts?

 

[osu]

Empty vessels of the tranquilizer darts were found in the garage. The tranquilizer gun didn't work, according to Nielsen.

The plastic cap wasn't found until May 19. Investigators don't know how the cap got into the dryer and how long it had been there. There was 2 DNA mixture on the cap, #BarryMorphew DNA was excluded.

That strike might hurt…

Oh dear ..
The dart cap doesn't seem such strong evidence after hearing all this, hope there is a bombshell coming incriminating BM!!

 

[crhedBngr]

Grrrrrr, that isn't good news IMO.

Agreed, but there must be more evidence against BM that we don't know about.

JMVHO.

 

[OldCop]

He's still not wearing his mask correctly? Did I imagine it, or did he get called out on that at the earlier preliminary hearings?

The arm rub makes me feel slightly ill.

Me, too, but common defense tactic. “See this defendant is not a horrible person.”
You often see a lot of touching between defendants and defense attorney. They are trying to humanize the .

Nielsen brings up photo of a tranquilizer dart cap found in the dryer on May 19. Barry said he was not sure how long it had been there and it had nothing to do with him. Court briefly discussed that calling it a tranquilizer dart "cap," wasn't totally accurate.

Nielsen asks Grusin: You can't say how long that cap had been in there? Grusin says, "Correct." Barry was excluded with DNA from that cap. (Reminder that all these notes are courtesy of

being in the courtroom)

Some empty vessels of the darts were found in the garage. A tranquilizer gun also in the garage did not work. There were no other darts found inside/outside the Morphew home, Nielsen said.

Nielsen argues the cap found in the dryer was not from a tranquilizer dart but from the needle used to inject the dart with chemicals. She asks Agent Grusing about this- he affirms that she is correct in saying they did not technically find a tranquilizer dart cap. @KKTV11News

Agent Grusing says #BarryMorphew told him he could have thrown some chemical away but he does not remember. He says the cap in the dryer had nothing to do with him. The tranquilizer gun found in the garage did not work according to law enforcement. @KKTV11News


Ashley Franco @AshleyKKTV 5m
She continues by saying LE found empty tranquilizer darts but no tranquilizer chemical at the house. @KKTV11News #BarryMorphew #SuzanneMorphew

#SuzanneMorphew had been at Gene Ritter's home (neighbor) for coffee from 9 a.m. -11 a.m. on May 6, 2020. During the time of "I'm done" text was sent to #BarryMorphew.

The thing is there is no way the State would have brought that up without some serious reasoning that it may be linked to Suzanne's demise IMO.

NEW: Barry Morphew's attorney is attacking the trash runs and the tranquilizer cap found in the dryer of the Morphew home 9 days after #SuzanneMorphew went missing. We are in the 3rd day of a four day preliminary hearing/proof evident presumption great hearing. #BarryMorphew 's

daughters, mom and sister are in the courtroom. Suzanne's family (at least brother and sister) is listening on Webex. More media here than before. Wraps up tomorrow, 8/24. @ABC2020

It’s cross examination-Grusing is holding his own here. They are just looking for loopholes, but he is experienced. They don’t have all the trash runs on camera, but they have some. Barry admitted he made trash runs and mansplained why. The tranquilizer cap isn’t from the dart itself, but the needle. His calls could have been made from his truck, or the hotel room. Whatever so far.

Is there an additional fee for that?

S

Yikes

now the admission of throwing tranq stuff away and the cap in dryer I asked why week ago ---now seems to show he coppied follis by making phoney trash runs as plan now defense asking witness is he so dumb as to hide evidence in daylight with cameras? I said no/ maybe in my post others said yes---time will tell.

 

[Scootie98]

The defense asked Grusing if it was his theory that Morphew disposed of evidence of a murder in Broomfield. Grusing said yes.

curious to know if any of the photos of Barry disposing of articles show him wearing gloves?

Grrrrrr, that isn't good news IMO.

I want to know whose DNA IS ON the cap.
