Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #27

[enelram]

I found the photos, and a helicopter video, but I don’t know how to attach here? I never noticed the yellow tape until now, but it definitely attaches to the bob cat and there’s two cops sitting next to the bob cat and the trailer.

there's an upload button, but first you have to copy and paste and store the pic or video on
your computer/phone.
thank you for doing this!

I recall that pic/video and it made me think that LE was VERRRY interested in that bobcat.
So the bocat that was at Salida site on Sat. night making noise and vibrations then was back in
BM's driveway when the pic was taken. Right?
Wonder if the sniffer dogs alerted on the bobcat?

Thanks! I attached the photos to original posters question.

Was it actually a 911 call?

It may have only been a "wellness check" call, which most people would call for on the non-emergency police line.

Found this... but now I’m wondering - did the neighbor call 911 who then alerted the Sheriffs office, or did she call the Sheriffs office directly?

“The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office says it received a call about a missing woman around 5:45 p.m. on May 10. Morphew was reported missing in the area of County Road 225 and West Highway 50 near Maysville, Colorado.“

And unfortunately there is is a very good chance he will get away with it. No body, no physical evidence.

MOO LE will finally charge the person responsible for SM’s disappearance and likely for murder. I think they’re still putting the case together, and possibly waiting for someone to come forward with another piece of information that will seal the charges! I have faith in LE, CBI and the FBI when it comes to cases like this. The FBI has a pretty high success rate on finding the perp in similar cases. The digital footprint will be interesting to read in the arrest warrant.

Yes @enelram. Me too. Tragic how this seems is to work or play out most effectively in families with daughters, where the daughters are also invested in pleasing "Daddy" and in keeping Daddy happy so he won't be emotionally abuse to Mom. This sort of pattern is usually deeply embedded and normalized, and it takes years of therapy for those daughters to untangle themselves from both the guilt and silence of living in those families.

These are the families that look perfect on social media and on the outside--and everyone is shocked when a crime occurs inside the family. It breaks my heart because sometimes there are very few signs and no way to protect the females involves--it is airbrushed on the outside and everything is perfect until he loses it and then it isn't.

You have described my 55 years on this earth to a T.
Therapy IS helping.
I see myself in the daughters. God bless them.

It may have only been a "wellness check" call, which most people would call for on the non-emergency police line.

There was a lot of discussion about this here earlier (with no confirmation). People pointed out that it is not always possible to dial 911 from out of area. You’ll get the local 911, and they can not transfer. So that might explain why BM didn’t dial 911.

If it was a wellness check on a non emergency line, why wouldn’t BM call it in himself? Hmmm..

MOO

Who do you think is likely to be the significant third party? A good buddy guy friend? Someone whose car he may have borrowed? A possible female friend? A coworker type who helped to move machinery or vehicles? Do you have a hunch who it might be?

 

[NatKingCola]

Is it plausible and reasonable that BM would cart the bobcat back from Denver on Sunday evening? If it arrived then. It wasn’t it needed for the actual work on Monday...just for the “prepping”? Or maybe everything was cancelled/postponed as events transpired? Anyway to tell? I personally wouldn’t bother to load up any equipment to slow me down, I’d have just hightailed it home ASAP. IMO.

I'm reading through this interview that BM did and I got some questions, just things that jump out at me as odd things to say when your wife is missing. First, we have his theories the first two we've heard before but the last one he says a run in with someone who knows her well. Who would that be? I was understandng from the interviews with the family that she didn't really have many friends in the area they were living in and she felt isolated there. Then we have him saying he gave 3-30 interviews with LE and answered all of their questions well BM that's a lot of questions to fill that many hours so red flag on the play there. Then he says Suzanne loved and trusted the Lord and if one person got saved from this she would think it was worth it. I don't understand that satement from all accounts Suzanne loved her kids and family and would do anything to be there for them I mean just look at how hard she fought to beat cancer to survive and have a family of her own. I don't think she would say it was worth putting her family through the heartbreak and agony for any reason I just don't see it that way. Then is referral to her disappearance as "this thing" I just find it an odd choice of words maybe that's just me though. Also his doing a "mechanical thing" with the bobcat seems like he doesn't know the details that he should know if he were telling the truth. I don't know maybe it's just me but I feel like he is dodging the answers by giving general statements and he doesn't sound credible at all.

I don't think there was a job in Denver. The only person who has stated that is BM - after he changed his story from "training" (which he did only after Fire Chief said there was no training).

And first he had a conversation with Suzanne about whether it was okay for him to go that morning (no mention of how early it was) then it was "she was still sleeping."

Because if he now said Suzanne was awake when he last saw her, there would be big questions about why she didn't speak to her friend or her two daughters on Mother's Day. That was an initial oopsie, which he has now corrected.

About that Denver job. I've assumed LE validated it, but have always been curious about it. No mention of location, no searches of the site (to our knowledge). No one has ever come forward, even on social media, to say where that job was? What made the local job site worth searching, but not the Denver site? If it was searched, not one news source sniffed it out or knew about it?

 

[Warwick7]

Wasn't that a "bobcat" machine that showed LE
had roped off and several were standing around
staring at it in the area off the driveway of the
Morphew home? I'm thinking it was a drone photo in the early part of the investigation.
Anyone else remember that?

So if he had a bobcat on his property, why would he need to go over do the property where they dug up the garage and retrieve a bobcat?

Yes, these are real impediments to our solving of the case in a jiffy, that's for sure! LOL. We are all just so curious and determined to see the BG arrested that we have the patience of toddlers. I just have to sit back and realize I'm not a detective on the case, so I need to chill and wait. Hard to do.

I don't think we know what kind of machinery was used at the Salida jobsite, nor what kind of machine made the noise the neighbor heard.

All the speculation about how the bobcat might have been used is at this point just that, speculation.

Assuming the bobcat seen in the driveway isn't BM's only equipment, we have no idea what else he might have or where it might be stored when not in use (or whether it's actually his vs leased job by job, etc)

IMO MOO

The only thing we know for certain re Bobcat is that one was parked in the driveway during the drone/helicopter video, and that it had yellow tape tied to it.

Personally, I believe that if LE thought the equipment was connected to their investigation, the tape would have gone AROUND it rather than attached TO it.

the other thing we know for certain, is that he mentions the bobcat in his interview with LS.

Oh right! Forgot that! Thanks!

well, no one knows the location of bobcat on
Sat. 5/9 during the day. BM admitted it was
at Salida Sat night when neighbor heard it and
felt vibrations. He stated as much in LS interview.
My earlier question was where was it in daylight hours? At BM's home? or at Salida site?
We're trying to piece together the puzzle using
purely speculation along with what we know.

bbm
Ita.
And, it's not just you.

Extremely repulsive choice of words, that and the statement that if one person was 'saved' from this Suzanne would think it was worth it.
Agreed with a previous poster who said these words were 'grotesque'.
Imo he did something, and could care less about the devastation he's left in his wake.

It's a waiting game between BM and LE who I believe are diligently retracing his digital path.

And yes, if another person assisted him with a vehicle not equipped with gps that would explain why the long wait for justice.
Although compared to some others cases, I think LE are coming along nicely.
Tick, tock, BM.

MOO.

Same holds true for Scot...who "worked on/repaired(?)" the bike the Thursday before. That would solve a huge piece of the puzzle to learn if the bike was even functional, did Suzanne have more than one bike, the color?, does he know where she normally rode?, was it a typical Sunday morning routine before Church ?(which I have always personally doubted)

Murphy1950,

Wouldn't it be great, if the bike was, at the time, 'unable to be driven'.
So, if staged, 'a laugh'.
MOO.
