‘I hope that they’re okay’: Brother of Suzanne Morphew says her two daughters have been silent

August 31, 2020

Suzanne Morphew’s brother said his sister had been confiding in a friend before she vanished on Mother’s Day weekend. “Maybe things weren’t hunky dory,” he said

"In a new revelation, Moormon reportedly claimed that his sister had become close with an unidentified person prior to her disappearance."

Interesting. IMO.

Indiana Supreme Court public access case search - MyCase

I don't have a good feeling about this.

 

[Lilypad13]

I’m sorry, his wife

I’m sorry, his wife is missing, he refuses to attend vigils or speak to the media or publicly search for her, and he’s doing a push up contest at the gym?? While his wife is missing?? Is this an actual fact? Because if it is, I am literally FLOORED!

You must be new here. Nothing he does and doesn’t do surprises us anymore. Sadly. And welcome.

 

[Lilypad13]

If whoever disappeared Suzanne disappeared her in a way and place that is findable, AM just put that someone on notice. Massive search effort coming! Putting someone on notice that he has 4 weeks to relocate what he hid.

LE may be watching. We've had the action (the vigil event), now we watch for the counter-action....

Unless of course someone is supremely confident nothing can be found.

JMO

If he tries to relocate anything now he is an idiot...well...so he might...good point.

 

[Ontario Mom]

How do we know he’s at the gym?

In one of the MSM articles (I think it was Lauren Scharf but now I cannot find it) it was mentioned that he had been seen back at his gym.
(there was another social media rumor but that's not what I am referring to)
I've looked but I can't find the link now.
If anyone else can find that, that would be helpful.

 

[DizzyB]

a small group of BM supporters on facebook, youtube comments, and reddit. trying to steer the blame towards SM's family. it's so gross. and they always pop up in groups to "attack" reasonable questioning, so i find it hard to believe that it's not bm and his "buddies." likely to be younger people, too, considering the way they speak, and threaten, and spell. lol. moo.

I guess it takes all kinds. I’ve seen it with people that write to prisoners too. Some of the BM supporters have been very vocal online, buddying up to anyone perceived as an insider, and hoping to insert themselves into the inner circle. The BM buddies seem to be different than the ones who adore BM. The buddies want the “real abductor” found and the focus to be off their guy. The BM crushes just tell everyone how the world will owe BM an apology, and boast how they know the real story. Whatever. It’s a microcosm of society.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Me neither. Im holding my breath here.

‘I hope that they’re okay’: Brother of Suzanne Morphew says her two daughters have been silent

August 31, 2020

Suzanne Morphew’s brother said his sister had been confiding in a friend before she vanished on Mother’s Day weekend. “Maybe things weren’t hunky dory,” he said

https://www.crimeonline.com/2020/08/31/i-hope-that-theyre-okay-brother-of-missing-suzanne-morphew-says-her-two-daughters-have-been-silent/

I think reaching out to the daughters publicly and all this talk about an army of a thousand searchers might be putting a lot of pressure on someone.

I also wonder how LE feels about this search. Do they normally want a thousand volunteers searching for evidence, especially remains? I remember they supported a search for Jayme Closs but I haven't seen any statements from them concerning this search.

 

[Willowwood26]

not only do they (most likely) hang out with him, this guy has an army of supporters on all social media platforms, staunchly defending him, and victim-blaming his missing wife and her family. it's truly unlike anything i've ever witnessed before in a missing persons case.

How in the world would you blame the victim? “His missing wife”? She didn’t asked to be disappeared. I can’t understand people sometimes. She fought 2 years with her latest cancer to LIVE for Peet’s sake!

 

[MrsWatson]

I wonder if "army of a thousand volunteers" is a deliberate poke at BMs Army buddy who's done 400 tours?

moo

 

[MsBetsy]

WHAAAAT???
This is coming in from "left field" for me. Anyone else???

Maybe she became friends with another cancer patient while she was going for treatments and confided in her. We already know about one who has been interviewed. Imo

 

[EggSalad]

"In a new revelation, Moormon reportedly claimed that his sister had become close with an unidentified person prior to her disappearance."

Interesting. IMO.

That quote leaves A LOT of leeway for interpretation. IMO, it’s referring to her best friend that she was confiding in.

 

[Lilypad13]

Restpectfully, I disagree with your first premise. There are literally millions of people around the world who marry at around age 18 (the approximate high school graduation age in the US) who do not kill their spouses. While some may develop murderous antipathy toward their spouses during their marriages, I am aware of no studies that show that the marriage act itself was the cause of the hatred of the spouse, absent perhaps the existence of a forced marriage. In sum, I think that one would need an additional element -- such as abuse or infidelity -- plus the marriage to show a motive, with the exception of the unusual situation (in the US) of a forced marriage.

Your second premise -- that of greed -- may certainly be a motive, but I have yet to see evidence of that in the Morphews' case. I've heard and read a lot of speculation about this, but I have yet to see tangible or electronic evidence that demonstrates this motive. If, for example, texts or e-mails were produced that demonstrated that Barry was relying on Suzanne succumbing to cancer in order to own all the family's property, then I would consider that solid evidence of motive.* If a friend of Barry's came forward and revealed similar evidence, I would also consider this evidence of motive**, though less reliable than tangible or electronic evidence coming from Barry himself.

* Of course the texts or e-mails would have to be authenticated per Rule of Evidence 901. Any such statement in an e-mail or text -- if made by Barry himself -- would not be hearsay but would instead be a "statement by a party-opponent" and would be admissible against Barry.

** Again, anything Barry tells such a person would be a "statement by a party-opponent" and would be admissible against Barry. Human memory being what it is -- and the possibility of the friend lying -- would, IMHO, give the testimony less weight.

“Murderous antipathy”... had to look that one up and now that I did that’s a great description! I can almost relate to that feeling sometimes But unlike BM I would never act upon my murderous antipathy...feeling it would be enough and then it will pass without an actual murder.

Agreed. I edited my post. Thank you.

I remember also and searched for Lauren Scharf’s article where it was mentioned that Barry was back at the gym but I can’t locate it now. It might’ve been discussed during one of Lauren’s FB lives.

I really think he’s referring to the friend That she had the last conversation with Saturday May 9

all this new info is fascinating to me and the timing right before the hearing ? hmmm
IMO

moo

You're right. It reminds me of a poker game. AM sees BM's army dude and raises with two Benghazi vets. Plus a 1000 searchers and the PE guys. I think BM was bluffing. Hope he folds. Moo

there lots of misogynistic males out there.
They seem to find each other like magnets.

Possible, I'll look there and see if I can locate the exact quote. Thanks.

 

[gitana1]

I feel strongly that BM is responsible for the disappearance of his wife.

At the same time, I feel the Moorman family did not initially respond to this crisis in a manner in which I would have expected. This, I feel, is a side story though, and likely has nothing to do with SM’s disappearance.

MOO

Didn’t the brother say that LE told them to stay quiet?
