Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #21

[Fireflize]

Must be a slow news week for this case.

It seems the bike was discussed ad nauseam a few weeks ago.

I like betting on the guilt/innocence better. I came from firmly sitting on the fence to falling off on the guilt side. No, I think I actually jumped off.

Would you like to share what inspired you to jump? Was it any one thing?

They are totally old school and I think their hearts are in the right place. I am hoping that since they seem to be following this case so closely, they might take a look around WS to see what people are interested in, and from there improve their gender skills just a wee bit. It would help with their future interviews. As I said, I really like them so I want them to put their best feet forward to draw the most viewers. I’m rooting for them!

It would be great if Tricia invited them as guests on WS YouTube.

I won't say it was 100%. If they had to pick a random 12 persons off of here and we followed our opinions you'd likely have a hung jury.

And at this point, I’d certainly be in the hot seat, that’s for sure. Oh whell! (rhyming contraction, not misspelling)

The newly discussed bike info by LS is very interesting to me since I’m a mountain biker.

-The dirt road it happened on is pretty wide
-If she was riding home, she’d be on the opposite side of the road from the ravine.
-If she was heading out from the house, she’d be riding on the side of the road of the ravine.
-Since a personal item was found further away from the bike crash and house, you could presume she was riding home, so it doesn't make since to be riding on the left hand side of the road next to the ravine.
-A typical mountain bike wheel damage is called ‘taco ing’ your wheel, ie bashing in part of it from a long drop or hitting a rock really hard. Neither of those options could happen on that dirt road.
-If the damage happened from the bike going into that ravine, there would probably be more damage to the bike than just the front wheel. The rear derailer would probably be bent and if she had a carbon frame, the frame would almost certainly have damage. If the only damage was to the front wheel, it would certainly lead to the thought of the bike being planted there.
-Also depending on the scenario (bike crash, kidnapping, animal attack) you’d have a lot of disturbed foliage for obvious reasons.

So we don't have all the details but we’re starting to get more and they are pointing towards the alleged bike accident being a plant.

I haven't been able to be on WS, only bits and pieces because of work.

What is this "newly discussed bike info by LS"??

BBM: This has been my thought all along. JMO but maybe the bike was taken off of the bike rack on the car and maybe whoever tossed it down the ravine forgot to notice that the wheel was locked so that it would not spin while driving the vehicle.

I'm having such a hard time imaging BM actually put the bike on a bike rack where people might witness that. I always felt he tossed it into the back of his pick-up and drove there with it.

Yeah, that’s exactly how I envision it. That’s the fastest and safest way to do it, and I do think time was of the essence here.

search "dad with a phone" = DWAP. he has a youtube channel, as well as a fb page, and lives in colorado, so he covers the big cases coming out of CO.

Thanks, too funny. Just couldn't put it together. Yes, I've seen them.

 

[GordianKnot]

It sure would, and you know what else would be awesome?

If Tricia invited LS to be a guest on WS YouTube.

Man, that would be fan-freaking-tastic!

JMO.

<modsnip: quoted post was removed> the Isabel Celis case did it for me. I just knew the father or father and mother were guilty as sin. (I mean, come on, the father falls asleep in the den, his wife is down the hall in the BR and Isabel's two brothers are in the next room and she disappears from the house and no one hears or sees anything? Then the father is laughing on the 911 call?) And the bad thing for me is I should have known better after being on an audit many years ago where everyone but one junior auditor KNOWS the comptroller is embezzling and it turns out all wrong. Result: Nasty law suit. I try to stand back now and look at it from every angle and question anything that doesn't seem to hold up and wait for the arrest and the evidence.

Re BBM and JMO

For those that joined this case a little later and missed the discussions about how the bike could have been locked by SM with a disc brake lock that maybe the perp did not realize was even on the bike.

Disc brake locks are very small and attach to the disc brake drum area which prevents the wheel from turning. The perp may have not even realized the bike had one of these locks on it and maybe threw the bike into the brush without even realizing it wasnt rideable.

LE would immediately know SM did not ride the bicycle from her home if it still had a lock like this attached to it.

Below is a link that shows how small they are and how easily it would be to miss seeing a lock like this was attached to the wheel.

Even if her bike did not have disc brakes , you can still use these types of locks to put around a couple spokes and it basically makes the bicycle unrideable unless you can remove it because it will bust your spokes as the wheel tries to spin around as it will usually hit the fork area. Its best to put them through a hole in the disc brake drum as they are designed for that and the disc drum is solid metal.

They are so small I could see a perp missing this and not even realizing it was on the wheel.

If it was BM though who planted the bike, he is likely to know of its existence isn't he?

 

[GordianKnot]

That’s exactly what they did with Letecia Stauch, and I think there’s a decent chance they have done the same here.

Ignoring her bizarre behavior, we knew she was the prime suspect when law enforcement conducted multiple searches of her home, seized her vehicle, and conducted several searches for Gannon’s body.

I've never seen any such item in use among any of the cyclists around here and never saw one in any of the bike shops around here. I don't really know how it would work with caliper brakes (we don't know what kind of bike Suzanne had). I have an old Krytonite New York Heavy, but I've never locked my bikes up when in the garage or in the house and I don't know anyone else who does. HOWEVER, I do know a friend who keeps theirs outside on the balcony of their second story apartment and they also have one of the Krytonite locks to secure it to the balcony.

But if you really want to secure your bike you remove front wheel and secure it to the rear wheel and frame to an immovable object. I don't quite understand what this lock is trying to accomplish because the object to prevent someone from making off with your bike. Of the many cases of stolen bikes around here half the time the thief picked up the bike and threw it in a car or truck and drove off. I'll stick with my Kryptonite lock.

I'm still catching up on posts, a few pages behind, but I wonder if the front wheel of the hypothetical bicycle could have been "locked up"due to equipment malfunction, such as a broken spoke, or foreign object damage (eg, branch kicked up and jammed between wheel and fork). I think this would be very unusual, but it has happened.

If the bike was a plant and it was BM I seriously doubt he would know to use the bike rack. (I get the impression he doesn't bike so he may know as much about cycling as I know about landscaping.) If Suzanne even had a bike rack.

300 feet is really not that far, in a accident a person could be very confused about what was what direction. if you were going to stage something to look like a accident wouldn't you put the bike closer to the river? the distance to the river could also be in question if there was a attempt to stage it to look like a accident.

As well, it’s always easier to climb down the hill rather than up, especially with a concussion or broken bone. I totally get why they searched downward and in the creek.

He may or may not have. Especially if the person was in a hurry or maybe he did not even know his spouse had bought a small bike lock.

The topic was originally brought up many moons ago when we were trying to think of things that would make LE realize the bike scene was staged rather than a real bike accident of some sort.

The link will take you to a detailed explanation of exactly what was being done that morning, which was inspected the next morning. The screenshot shows a workman unrolling red hot water tubing. The second is the exact same photo, slightly darkened to simulate early morning light.
It looks mighty darn suspicious to me. Yesiree bob! IMO

That's a lot of very detailed information about who, when, why and how, without any sort of LE statement or MSM linked to document this.

I think it is the YouTuber, John Lordan, that used to say at the end of his true crime podcasts to post any questions or comments below, but be mindful these people have families and many times they read your posts. So I know if one does a Google Search, the Websleuths thread shows up on the second, if not the first page of the Google Search. I try to be objective, but at the same time I also wonder if Suzanne's daughters are reading my posts. Even hiding behind a nom de plume, I still try to be objective and try my best not to indicate guilt.
