Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #79 *ARREST*

[steeltowngirl]

BM may not have had an “affair” in CO but he was looking for something, it appears! It was reported he got a little uncomfortable at the mention of Celebrity Jihad and looking for a “cute girl in Salida.” Maybe Barry also frequented dating sites, but not as “Barry.” Maybe he was Tom, Dick, Harry or even Jim “Smith” or whatever. Really hoping someone recognized him and has come forward. We all remember how he didn’t want to be seen in the media. There’s a reason someone acts like that! JMHO.

I know which one of those names I’d choose for him…

This door jamb crack is flimsy evidence. BM would have more likely opened the door lock coldly with a screw driver and not by forcing it. Poor SM. The room was staged. Doesn’t mean the crime took place there.

Could be staging, like the bike or it could be a man dramatically breaking through to terrorize.

I think those MB doors are almost always double doors, impossible to barricade.

 

[MyJoey]

Because it sounds worse to admit that you suspected Barry, yet did not come forward.

Face saving methinks.

Snap! I agree. He sat around 6 months thinking about what he was going to say. Just like the, I didn’t want this to be her legacy (eye roll) . It will be interesting to see BM and JL in the same room.

If SM was incapacitated by tranquilizer, hog tieing her with thick corded shoe laces would make for easier transport or for stuffing her into something like a cooler. Plus if she came to unexpectedly, she wouldn’t be able to move.

And I believe there is video evidence and/or BM testimony that he threw out boots that did not have laces. His claim is that he’s such a cheapskate that he kept the laces and threw out the boots.

Of course, this same cheapskate also threw out what was most likely a very expensive camo jacket.

Hog-tying her would be exactly something Barry would do because it is putting her in her place, she deserved this because of her affair. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he did that. I loathe him.

I respectfully disagree. I don’t think anything in that house was broken .. ever. I think his hands looked broken after Sm went missing. In a rage after learning his wife was on the phone with her lover and declined his 11 calls, I can see him breaking a door down. Just saying IMO.

I have been away, any ideas on the 18 miles?
Garfield mine is 6.2 miles from the PP house to the main mine buildings, but it's another 2 or so miles to the upper tailings.
It was a lead, uranium and molybdenum mine. I am sure the tailings are not a tourist attraction.

The 18 miles could be anywhere, but Garfield Mine has my attention. There are campgrounds in the vicinity up Taylor and Shavano Mountains (North Fork, Angel of Shavano.) Someone mentioned upthread BM might have left her remains where (if ever found) her death could be speculated to have been committed by a hiker / visitor.

Not if he was frantically trying to catch her. Once inside she may have had access to a communication device or weapon, and he just didn’t have the time.

If he was trying to stage the house, he’d have no reason to stage the bike.

I’d love that idea a hell of a lot more if the FBI didn’t seem to think he disposed of Suzanne under the cover of darkness hours earlier (the 10pm to 3 something window).

It does make quite a bit of sense to me though, as it would explain why his movements weren’t able to be tracked that night. Maybe he really didn’t move?

Perhaps he did use chlorine to clean his truck bed, and it thwarted the efforts of law enforcement to obtain evidence that Suzanne’s body had been there.

I still think the former is more likely though, but anything is possible.

Right and if he did tranquilizer her and needed to make sure she had no phone he had to get that door down before she made a 911 call or others heard what was happening. I still think JL scaredy pants might have heard something. And ran scared but I don’t think we will ever truly know the answer to that.

I think Barry might have accused/suspected SM of having an affair even before she was/if she hadn't actually been. In other words I don't think he actually knew or had evidence, but rather accused her just because that's the kind of paranoid and blamey guy he is.

And I also think he threw out the "maybe it's someone who knows her well" as part of that generalized accusation, not because he had actual knowledge of her affair.

I realize this contradicts all the speculation about him "catching" her online with JL, but I don't think we know that's how it played out, and I don't actually think that's what happened.

I think, like others have said, he was realizing she meant it when she said she was done, and he couldn't let her do that, affair or no affair.

MOO

Perhaps his suspicions (or knowing but not who) of her having an affair caused him to FB friend requests those other men we've heard about, searching for responses in hope of figuring it out.

Has anyone figured out how much money BM walked away with from the sale of the houses? I wasn’t around when the financial stuff was discussed. I believe someone said they had rental properties in Indiana. I think he walked away with more then people think.

Do they have a timeframe for when the missing miles occurred?

I don’t think so.

That left turn while “chasing a herd of elk,” may be the answer though.

I still think JL scaredy pants might have heard something. And ran scared but I don’t think we will ever truly know the answer to that.

I think he had numerous things to be afraid of. One of which was his life. Well, everything in his life actually. There was absolutely nothing to gain for him coming forward. Oh! Except he was in affair with SM and maybe her husband found out and killed her! So I guess his conscience and not letting a murderer go free.
I'll bet he was looking over his shoulder that whole time!
I do believe BM was looking for who he was.
moo
eta
And now BM knows who he is and his family are.
God forbid the judge allows him bond.

The order to seal the arrest affidavit mentioned as a justification that Barry had liquidated his assets, and had netted over a million dollars from the sale of the puma path home (the point being he had the means to run).

We haven’t heard any specific numbers, but I tend to think he likely was worth a couple million.

Interesting. The Angel of Shavano Campground is east on Rt 50, then north up Rt 240. So a right turn…along the way out to town.

IMO, I respectfully disagree. I don't agree the room/door was staged.

The door jamb damage is not flimsy evidence. IMO, a hard kick to the door knob/jamb would allow for someone's forceful entry. I think BM was in a maniac rage when he forced his way into their MBR.

JMO, IMO, etc..

Thank you. I tend to agree, I’m sure they had money tied up in other investments also.

You and me both! Although, I had considered “Bob” too, you know, like his beloved CAT .

He didn't say anything of the kind in that article.
The only thing (which wasn't quoted) attributed to him is,

'Nielsen, in questioning lead investigator, Commander Alex Walker, asked if Libler came forward once it was known that Suzanne was missing.

He hadn’t until he was found in November when he said he did not come forward because he was protecting her legacy and did not want her to be known for having an affair. Also he was protecting himself.'

If you read that he didn't think Barry had anything to do with Suzanne's disappearance, it wasn't in that article.

"Barry had not known about the affair. However, Harris said that in questioning Libler, Liler said if Barry had any idea he (Libler) and Suzanne were together Barry would have talked to him first and he didn’t think Barry had anything to do with her disappearance."
