Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #17

[Tate123]

I believe that well-meaning people, including family members and strangers alike, have been manipulated left and right by a master puppeteer.

JMO.

True enough.

 

[Feistyomi]

Although possible, it’s not very plausible. I do like your persistence!

Thank you! Stalkers stalk, some plan for a while before making their move. In this case, stalker realized SM was alone. He has been surveilling/ stalking and has at least a general idea what he’s gonna do.
I would like to move on to finding SM.
I have been hopeless and sad, but Todd Kohlhepp kept his victim alive for months. Hope.

Perhaps answered previously - I'm sure they have looked but has anyone mentioned any abandoned wells, mines, or other locations ideal for the disposal of a body or remains? I mean, she didn't disappear, alive or dead, she is somewhere and apparently not in an obvious location. It's a big area I'm sure (not really familiar with Colorado topography, etc.) but she should eventually turn up somewhere. I don't believe she has left of her own will so someone knows or has seen something out of the ordinary in that area. If I owned property there, I'd be looking all along the most obvious routes away from the home and the bike.

I will insert the quote from the OP with links to the mine info

I think hardscape landscaping is the kind of work BM does. Maybe LE is interested when all that rock work was done.

There is some interesting information in the link regarding different types of rock, stone, sand, silt deposits and where they are and whether they are useful for commercial use.

This is an interesting link, too, in regards to the numerous mines in and around Maysville and Salida.

When someone close to you has mysteriously disappeared, silence is the enemy of finding her. Look at the Vanessa Guillen case, or that of any other missing person. The family fights tooth and nail to keep the case in the spotlight.

The onus is on BM here, and to say that he is failing miserably is the understatement of the century. It sure would be nice if he could find the time to, you know, help find his damn wife.

IMO:

He's failing miserably in the PR media game.

Of course *if* he has lawyered-up, as Nancy Grace said he did weeks ago, his attorney would advise him to say nothing publicly and keep his mouth shut because anything he says will be seen and heard by LE and the public.

Now, I realize many wouldn't care what an attorney advised, and they'd be yelling from the rooftops and banging on every media outlet's door, but if you believe you're a suspect and you've hired an attorney to protect you, and you've got reason to be legally protected, like say you are involved, you're going to listen to your attorney.

Aside from the obvious, BM cannot join in any searches done by LE, he's not privy to anything they've found, and if those of us who suspect him are correct, the clock is ticking loudly.

 

[Bignuts45]

Don’t you guys believe he has some beater trucks for his landscaping biz? Probably older with no GPS to worry about? MOO

 

[Feistyomi]

What does a stalker do if he actually manages to abduct his obsession?

These are great points!

For me, if that were the case, I would suggest that my lawyer and I make a public plea together. Or even let my lawyer make a statement on my behalf. I know obviously everyone is different, but for the life of me I can’t understand the silence.

My spouse, my best friend, the mother of my children, the love of my life is missing and all you got is 26 secs.?!?! Wow.

It's been a while since I posted this link, and it's been a long time since there has been news.

Suzanne Morphew Case Archive:
Suzanne Morphew -CO- by amanda reckonwith

Cell phone users often have trouble with that link, so try this and scroll:
Suzanne Morphew


There are new names here lately, so you may not know what my Case Archives are. I save everything I can find- pics, articles, screen grabs from videos. From start of the case to the end of the case, no matter how long it takes. (some of my archives are 10+ years old, and there are over 150 cases). The link goes to my photobucket account. Formerly ad-free, but that is no longer an option for me to purchase. I pay for the storage and do not make a profit of any kind, so by clicking you just give me views, not money.

Thank you @AmandaReckonwith for all of your diligent hard work on the case archives! In cases like this especially it is great to have extra source material to look at in case something gets deleted by the MSM.

Case followers are clamoring for the optics of the husband going on a media tour of sorts, doing interviews, pleading daily, doing all kinds of things.

But truthfully, would many believe BM if he did all that? Really? I suspect the overall reaction would not be positive, just like it wasn't for Scott Peterson the times he did talk publicly (and for good reason).

It wouldn't convince me because there are husbands who kill their wives and lie about it and go on TV and/or attend candlelight vigils, etc. I'd be looking for signs of deception, like many. I already noted how his body language did not match his words in the 26 second video.

BM is running a terrible campaign. But it’s not a campaign and PR means absolutely nothing. He’s either guilty or he’s not, and all the PR in world won’t change the outcome of this story.
MOO

Word. I would not listen to a SOUL if my child/mate were "missing". I would gladly offer myself up for 'sacrifice' and any/all public scrutiny. I don't know a single 'innocent' soul that would handle it differently. It would be all emotion, 24/7, and screaming from the rooftops, giving up all privacy to find my loved one.

The world would stop from the second of their disappearance. No real estate deals, not even if initiated before the 'disappearance'. I am befuddled, really, at how ANY semblance of business transactions, normal life, etc. could occur so close to a disappearance.

I cannot get past the following:

"Too soon..."

"Oh Suzanne..."

What? Nothing I could say would be "too soon" and "oh suzanne?!?" still SOOOO weird to me to start off like that. I CANNOT discount the tone of his voice in the "Oh Suzanne..." almost if placing blame on dear SM. IMO, as always. I have ZERO insight into this case, and can only comment from personal opinion.

Never 'too soon' to say, "I love you, I miss you, please come home", "give me my wife back", "i hate pumas", or whatever the sentiment may be...

Oh, I agree that husbands definitely kill their wives, and I follow too much true crime not to be skeptical.

However, I’m used to seeing the husband/family standing together alongside LE at press conferences and such. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the lone social media plea put out without LE and nothing more. It’s just baffling to me.

IMO:

Baffling though it is, SM's relatives and friends are not obligated to go public to assuage the curious, and let's be honest -- that's what case followers want. The desire to see reactions, see the emotions, get some good nonverbal communication and maybe even some hints of something is strong.

BM, as an obvious POI, is not going to do the scared & grieving husband routine beyond his Oscar-losing 25 second performance in May. He's in the crosshairs. I doubt SM's family is standing by and supporting BM in this--they know the score.

I was wondering if anyone thought the family might have a good idea of what may have happened to SM. That would be a very hard position to be in, the not knowing, or not knowing who to trust. I feel for the girls. MOO

I am not asking for a media tour, but something MORE than the "oh suzanne" missive. Something other than "too soon" yet willingness to talk it up to a stranger, rather than making another public appeal. His stance/actions requires cognitive dissonance on his part, and this is difficult for me to put aside. That being said, I would not make an impartial juror.

To me it's all about LE solving the case and the DA getting a fair and successful prosecution of whoever did this to SM. That's what counts the most. That's what will bring justice to SM and her family, friends, and community.

[gitana1]

Most people, IMO, (gross generalization to follow) who commit these types of crimes do NOT have the patience to play the 'long game'. Personally, if I detested someone enough to exact any sort of revenge, I would wait a solid 10+ years to execute my revenge...for precisely the reason you stated above. I know that forensic victimology takes place, and this would force me to play the long game so that I wouldn't pop up on LE radar. Crimes of passion, revenge, etc. typically occur close to another victim-related event, which makes this forensic victimology ever so relative. Again, all IMO. Nice post Gitana!

Nobody ever better cross you!!!!

With all due respect, I do not disagree with your last paragraph, although I do detect some condemnation. I too want to see justice served both HOT and COLD in this case. You asked 'why do WE need more?' If it is "all about LE solving the case, what are YOU doing here? Really, I am not trying to be a jerk, I just took your response as a bit odd.
