Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #20

Question...
Do you think the first theory BM proposed to LE was an abduction scenario?

I think the bike was supposed to sell the abduction so BM didn’t have to.

Who knows though.

 

[Gigi3]

Could be. Or do you think he proposed to LE the smorgasbord of theories like in the TD video?

And I’m wondering if that’s what initially made LE pause and take a closer look at BM.

However, BM did make that short video appear to be reaching out to an abductor. So, what made him disregard that and move onto other possibilities? Surely, if you thought your wife was abducted, you would be moving heaven and earth to find her?

Question...
Do you think the first theory BM proposed to LE was an abduction scenario?

Hard to tell with the mish mash he dribbled to TD. Cat seen by an officer could have “dragged her up”, as cats do? And eat every last morsel, bone, clothing, shoes and helmet? Had an accident, got disoriented and “got in the river,” as injured cyclists do? Could have been abducted “right here,” as abductors do? Thankfully, investigators aren’t stupid. They follow evidence not “tales” from someone who has a LOT to gain from SM’s disappearance.

I for one, can’t wait to read the AA on this one. And no, it isn’t with any glee or satisfaction, because SM lost her life. It’s a tragedy just like all the other beautiful women (and I’m not talking looks) that have lost their lives to self serving narcissists. They deserve justice. JMHO.

You know what I really would like to know? How controlling BM was with the money. If he controlled SM’s money, a heavy check mark. If he did not, but is known to be tight-fisted about the finances in general, another check mark. If he is generous, in my mind, it could speak “for” him.

BBM
If he’s generous with SM’s money, that does not speak for him either.

This is a great news piece -- and another dose of reality at how easy it could be to disappear somebody in Colorado. The only truth that ever came out of PF's mouth. Just sayin...

Yes, he definitely concentrated on abduction in his self produced video, “To whoever has you...”.

I don’t recall from the TD video if BM brought up abduction, but I do recall him bringing out a lot of scenarios. Throwing out multiple scenarios might be a better strategy, because different people will latch on to different theories. A theory for everyone! Even in this forum, I recall quite a few posters putting forth, and in agreement with, the cat theory!

I wonder if it was lack of haste that made LE take a very close look at BM. We all know how important time is if someone disappears. Imagine it happening - and how chaotically, hysterically, but darn fast you are moving, and what you are doing. (Cellphone, media, friends). Not playing Sherlock Holmes with the theories.

You're my kinda girl, susiQ! I like your style.

Is the reward money still in play? I don’t have social media, so I was wondering if it had been announced/updated on the FB page.

Question...

I think BM was rehearsed and ready with scenario A, B, and C --consistent with what reportedly was communicated in an early Monday morning email to IN church members and later shared with YT blogger TD (e.g., bike crash/river, mountain lion, abduction).

I don't think BM proposed any scenario to LE -- he let them do the choosing. His bases were covered, not. MOO

Question...
Do you think the first theory BM proposed to LE was an abduction scenario?

I agree with MassGuy, I think the first thing proposed was the bike ride, which he hoped would lead to an abduction theory. What I question about that though is where the alleged bike ride story originated to begin with? Did the girls get a text she was going for a bike ride, or did BM plant it in their mind that maybe she went? In the beginning I thought they could have been speculating thats where she went. Now, I think they were somehow lead to believe that.

The FB page appears defunct. If BM had any gonads at all, he’d up the $$$ considering his recent “sale” and change the conditions of the reward. He can’t do that though. And many of us suspect why. LE know why too. It is incomprehensible that BM has not done that IF he were innocent in SM’s disappearance. His refusal to do that, tells me ALL I need to know. JMO

For anyone that truly believes BM is innocent in SM’s disappearance, what is your explanation for this??

I'd spend my last cent trying to find a 'missing' loved one. PI's, posters, banners, and self-paid searches by professionals of every kind.
Not to mention, you couldn't KEEP me off of MSM begging the community, the state and the world to help me find them.
But that's just me, I guess.

Since neither Barry or LE were there when she disappeared, I doubt he proposed anything about theories, that’s their expertise, not Barry’s. I do think it was set to roll with the “planted’ evidence…how could they think differently? Although I do think that night, after he got home Barry heard mention by a FF Buddy that an officer said he saw a mountain lion, just more for Barry to work with…

And I’m wondering if that’s what initially made LE pause and take a closer look at BM.

My guess is the staging of the bike got LE’s attention right off the bat. I don’t think he approached LE with theories, BUT

I can hear his discussion with Noel, “Suzanne’s missing, I’m thinking she took off, we’ve had a rough few years here, with the cancer and moving from Indiana and all, she’s been upset lately.…, either that or someone grabbed her off her bike.” Hence the comments from both Barry and Noel directed to Suzanne. Noel went so far as to say “if you can hear this, Your family wants you back” as if she had a choice if she was abducted. And Barry's comment the exasperated "Oh Suzanne."

I also think Barry threw in the lion …so Noel is thinking OMG, Aunt Suzanne is missing!!! The scenario involving foul play by Barry never crossed his mind. He enthusiastically jumped on Board to use his skill sets, family spokesperson, set up a FB page, a page and the Barry CCTV. Then something caused Noel to have a ‘lightbulb” moment IMO.

 

[marylamby]

Did this go to court? I thought the guy being interviewed said that BM no showed the court appearance or did not respond- Resulting in a default judgement against BM?

I wouldn't know if the proceeding took place in an actual court but a judge signed off on a "Diversion" as to BM's guilt.
To my limited knowledge, that is basically 'probation' after whatever time determined, would be expunged.
The 'accused' was found innocent of any crime.

Yes! That’s because that’s what innocent people would do. Nothing could stop us. Not LE and not people pointing fingers at us, because all that matters is finding our loved one. We’re not seeing that here...at all.

 

[Madeleine74]

Yep -- that pesky little Probable Cause doc -- Was he that slick and sly, or is he totally innocent?
And LE logically and certainly always start from the center and then work their way out.
Is LE waiting until they've got just one more thing for that PC doc, or are they totally at sea WRT a solid subject?
SMH - Will we see an arrest anytime soon??

Hi borndem! Hope all is well.

Remember how long (3+ years) it took for the slayer, Jason Young, to finally be arrested for his wife's murder? As you probably remember, LE works closely with the DA and it is the DA who determines when s/he feels they have enough to be able to prove the crime to a jury, BARD. Some DAs are very conservative, as that particular DA was, and they will wait and wait as long as it takes and not rush a murder case since they only get one bite of the proverbial apple.

IMO it would be the same thing in CO or any other jurisdiction. It takes as long as it takes and rushing a case legally because people are impatient and frustrated could lead to a bad outcome.

IMO

OP stated “he lost a few job opportunities” I was wanting links to that. Where is that on MSM? And the subsequent information?

ETA- you were the OP. Just went back to see who stated he “lost a few jobs”. Where did you get this information? Please I’m genuinely interested.

At the end of the original post that you reference, was MOO

Agreed.

My father owns a very lucrative land development business. One might say he is a work aholic. So, I have no problem with BM conducting business/land transactions and such because my dad would probably do the same. I have seen my dad go straight into business mode when a tragedy struck because that’s just how he handles things.

However, I can assure you that if something like this happened, my dad would “throw money” at the situation if he felt like he couldn’t get answers. I’m talking reward money, private investigators, bill boards etc... that’s how he handles things beyond his control (doesn’t make it right but that’s a whole other story). He would probably hire a PR team if needed.

That’s what is so confusing to me. BM has not done anything besides that video to help in finding his beautiful wife (that we know of)
Why?

MOO
