Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #22

[Gigi3]

Why yes! I cannot think of another example of such a thing. Comparable would have been if a MSM source had stated at one time during the wait periods that LS or FD or PF had been cleared - could you imagine the hub-bub?

Is that post still up? Has anyone reached out to ID? Has ID doubled down- what’s the latest on their mini SM video?

MOO-

I’m assuming it’s still up, but I looked at it hours ago. Someone did comment about the inaccuracy of BM being cleared. I’m hoping they will retract that or provide an accurate source for the information!

 

[Seattle1]

I’m very curious if there have been any other instances of MSM stating that a POI or obvious main suspect has been cleared as ID Channel did today, when apparently that is untrue?

The audacity, not to mention impact to their brand’s credibility seems outrageous. ID is not National Inquirer. And as I believe someone else mentioned, how did that make it past their legal department?

If this was in fact a click-bait post, ID has hit the skids man! MOO.

It makes me wonder if ID got their info direct from BM and/or his family. We know that BM told TD on ytube that police had cleared him. I can see delusional BM repeating this lie to any audience before him-- including his mom, daughters, and/or other family members that could have talked to ID.

MOO

But isn't it likely that curtilage would include any land behind a permanenttly affixed sign stating "PRIVATE DRIVE" that has no other designated entrance? IMO

It very well could. I worked for a major city PD so we rarely searched properties with so much land. However, to cover ourselves we would always include sheds, outbuildings, vehicles as part of the “premises” when we applied for our warrant. No one who is working a major case wants to have evidence thrown out because of an illegal search and seizure.
For what it’s worth, from everything I have seen, the searches seem to be concentrated on the home itself. I also have to believe that the Morphew curtilage was searched by LE in the days following her disappearance to be sure she was not lying dead or injured on their property. If they found evidence then, it would be admissible as it was found during the course of a legal search and LE had a right to be on the property.

LS retweeted the ID Channel tweet above (with embed video errors) and wasted no time to rebut the alleged claim that LE doesn't think BM involved.

dbm - @MassGuy had it.

It’s shocking to me. The combined viewership of the nightly network news broadcasts, is around 30 million people.

Had BM appeared with the sheriff, I’m sure each of them would have dedicated to a segment to it at some point. Regardless, that video would have circulated through social media, and reached untold tens of millions of people.

It’s very different when a loved one appears at one of those things, and I think it tends to draw people’s attention more than the alternative (what happened here).

I mean, who can forget Kelsey Berreth’s mom, or Gannon’s parents?

When I first started following this case I was actually somewhat suspicious of the nephew, I couldn't figure out why he and not "the husband" was so actively pushing a specific narrative. I wasn't sure if it was because he lived with them or something else was going on. After further research and following the case, the something else, in my opinion, is the strong puppet master behind the scenes.

On a related topic, no pun intended, there's been a little bit of discussion about BM's mom and her presence. In so many of these cases, we have seen the mothers' of the POIs disparaging the victims online and on the news. Even in forums like these. Ma Watts, Ma Frazee, Ma Peterson so many times there is an enabling toxic mom behind the scenes. Thus far this doesn't seem to be the case, thank goodness.

Your last sentence, I wouldn't be so sure. As you said, many mothers stick by their sons, no matter what.
Not disparaging his mother, wouldn't know but I wouldn't take anything for granted. There are many people spreading rumors on social media that point away from BM. I haven't read any of it lately, but it's been said here.

Have been trying valiantly to catch up.

Can anyone help me with who ID and IDD are?

If someone else didn't provide it...

I have to agree with everything that you are saying, but I think right now the reason for returning may be that the investigation had not yet determined exactly where the her disappearance began, prior to her removal from the immediate area. As pieces of the puzzle start to fit, the elements that have not yet been identified become more obvious, and may require some very focused searching. IMO

I don't know how legal the practice is, but based on an extensive viewing history of TV crime shoes the past month (summer boredom) cops are supposedly well within the law to just kick in doors if necessary to check out the welfare of anyone that may be inside if the LE dept has gotten a call that expressed concern about the health or whereabouts of someone who is not responding to attempts at contact. So, I've found myself wondering if the sheriff even needed a SW for the first search. My guess is they did need one for any subsequent search. Although maybe the first search was done after an initial check inside and therefore did need a SW. Total speculation. Also where's norm Pattis when you actually need him? I'm thinking if this case had happened in CT or NP could practice in CO then BM would at least be paraded in front of the microphones pretty much weekly at least while NP declared something. Stupid as to why his client should be allowed to go cut grass in peace cause there was no evidence. Once again total speculation and sarcasm but perhaps BM might also self destruct under NP watch. MOO.

I think there were likely 3 searches of the residence.

The first one would have probably been a cursory search, as they needed to see if they could locate Suzanne.

It sounds as if the house was sealed off after this, and a warrant was obtained.

They of course executed another warrant a few weeks ago.

The search warrant may have stipulated the entire property, we don't know.

ETA: I also thank you @OldCop for your incredibly informative posts!

Yikes, that would be another big first! MSM allowing the POI to officially clear themselves by LE and state it as factual-

Conversation:
ID: So has BM been cleared by LE?

Random Person being Interviewed: Ummm, yeah, I heard he was!

ID: And who confirmed this?

Random Person: Well, BM.

ID: Let’s go to print!

I believe some might call that a sht show.

I guess there’s a first for everything, and this case seems to be on track for some strange-o

Goes without saying- M

When following the sad case of Abby and Libby's murders in Delphi, Indiana, on 2.13.2017, I learned about a great place to go to dig a little deeper into people and their behavior.
Since there may be an Indiana connection here with Suzanne's case, I will share.

Updating my last Colorado Bureau of Investigation ("CBI") post of services after learning CBI started offering Toxicology Services to all LE Agencies effective July 2019. That's an incredible boost and hopefully, it reduces the burden on ME office requests to expedite toxicology test results when we are anxiously waiting for the COD.

Investigations
Mission:
The Agents and Analysts of the CBI Investigations Section provide a full range of criminal investigative assistance to local law enforcement. The types of crimes investigated often include: homicide, arson, officer involved uses of force, sexual assault, burglary, theft, public corruption, and others. The CBI can respond only at the specific request of a police department, sheriff's' office or district attorneys' office. Additionally, the CBI performs investigations of suspected criminal activity when directed by the Governor and has the statutory authority to initiate investigations of organized crime that transcend local jurisdictional boundaries as well as the investigation and apprehension of fugitives.

Forensic Services
Forensic Services is responsible for the collection, preservation, and analysis of evidence found at a crime scene. Our dedicated forensic scientists will work with each and every agency in order to provide timely and accurate results.

Available Services:

• Toxicology - the chemical analysis of biological fluids for the presence of drugs.
• Crime Scene - the collection and preservation of evidence from the crime scene.
• Drug Chemistry - the analysis of cannabis and all controlled substances.
• Forensic Biology/DNA - the analysis of body fluids for the presence of genetic material used for identification purposes.
• Firearms/Toolmarks - the comparison of a specific weapon/tool to the evidence found at the crime scene.
• Footwear/Tiretracks - the comparison of shoes/tires to the footprints/tiretracks at the crime scene.
• Latent Fingerprints - the comparison of fingerprints found at the crime scene to the specific fingerprints of an individual.
• Trace Chemistry - the analysis of substances that do not fall under Drug Chemistry such as fire debris and gunshot residue. Additionally, this section is responsible for the comparison of fibers, paints, tapes, airbag residues, polymers, metal fragments and other unknown materials to a specific item.
• Digital Evidence Analysis - the analysis of computer hard drives, thumb drives, cell phones and any other data storage device.

Except it's pretty obvious that nobody at Discovery ID asked that question to begin with given the erroneous video released today!

Where do I have to look on SM? Only some account like "Searching for" or "Missing SM"?
