Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #30

[Seattle1]

I admit to getting lost in the guardianship discussions. Why do you think LE would be waiting for that hearing event to happen before making an arrest? What's the possible smoking gun with it? Again, I'm lost in this one.

Financial Motive..... follow the money -- that's always where you find the answer.

WOW! I just saw this online.

Same here.


“Speaking in an exclusive interview, Puckett told DM, “I got there Sunday night and the room smelled like chlorine real bad.

‘It was his room and he’d taken a shower – his towels were all over the floor.’

Noticed comments on DM “well maybe he went swimming”...

Isn’t it procedure to leave towels from the pool in the pool area?

Does it have a swimming pool?

Pools generally asks guests to leave pool towels in the pool hamper. Right?

Of course, people probably don’t always do this... Besides if he went swimming his trunks would have residual chlorine

But for his employee to notice how bad it smelled? Enough to mention to LE? It must have been really bad.

MOO...

Is anyone still on the fence?

homeowner's insurance is expensive in FL - I can't believe a 1.5 mil house in CO would only be 1K annually. one of our lawyers has a vacation home there - and that insurance is due November and it's 8500 - 2000 sq feet property. I would like to see that bill. and all the other mail he hid in the hotel room.
JMO

Id like to know why he brought all the way up there and then left it all over the floor for his co-worker. no matter what it was, thats odd in and ofitself

 

[Birmingplumb]

I agree. I think the bleach means cleaning up blood. If he strangled her then I hate to think about what he did with her body.

He will say covid? But if he did not use bleach for covid elsewhere like his other places he visits....

 

[Seattle1]

The mail thing is weird. I could see if he grabbed it out of the mailbox or his PO box, and stashed it in his truck, but why take it into the hotel room and then leave it? If he wanted to toss it (that does make bills go away, doesn't it?) why not just find a dumpster on his way? Why leave it laying around?

He may have collected his mail and was sloppy leaving it behind. Or he may have paid the insurance premium and intentionally left it. BM is good at compartmentalizing. He has his priorities!

The more I read the more I see the walls closing in on this lying liar I really hope le is watching the girls before his dumb does something stupid . Jmoo a trapped animal is dangerous

I was thinking about this. Indoor hotel pools and jacuzzis use an inordinate amount of chlorine. My daughter has swum in them and it will reak for a long time afterwards and take many washes of the swimsuit to get the smell out. So in the off chance that the wet towels are from the pool and not from cleaning (of course LE knows if there was anything other than just water on those towels) then it could also show that maybe Barry had company at this hotel and they enjoyed the jacuzzi. I read someone suggesting that the papers were insurance papers for the job they were planning to do so it will be interesting to see if RTD truly expected him to be working a job there or not. Very damning if not. MOO

if this is the hotel, rooms have jacuzzi tubs, an indoor pool - according to the pictures - the Daily Mail said it's in Denver and included a picture.

DailyMail.com can reveal that a co-worker of Barry’s took over his Holiday Inn hotel room (pictured) on May 10 and found it scattered with wet towels and stinking of chlorine. A manager confirmed to DailyMail.com that they do not use chlorine to clean guest rooms

BBM:

Establishing a motive for the crime.

While it's not necessary to prove motive, it can certainly help in securing a conviction from a jury.

JMO.

It's paints an ugly picture of who BM really is. Moo

 

[RealForReal]

Didn’t BM tell LS in his interview that he was bringing tools into the hotel room to prep for the job? Sounds to me like BM setting up a possible explanation for bringing many “things” - concealed into the hotel room. In case he was seen or caught on camera. IMO

 

[Hatfield]

well we can surmise the hotel has video and BM knows it too which is why he admitted taking his 'tools' into the hotel room.
But he probably needed to remove all traces of blood or tissue off them in the bathtub.
....shovel, axe, hammer, hatchet, butcher knife
???????

If he did any sort of dismemberment, my bet is there is a hacksaw somewhere. Cutting through bone requires a saw like a hacksaw. A regular saw wont work because the teeth in the saw blade are too far apart. A hacksaw blade would do the trick.

An electric hand held circular saw would probably work too and Im sure he had a hand held circular saw for other regular jobs where he needed to cut through any wood.

If he wanted to toss it (that does make bills go away, doesn't it?) why not just find a dumpster on his way? Why leave it laying around?

Maybe he had someone else in his truck who he didn't want to see the mail, either. I always wondered about the curious story of bringing tools into the hotel, maybe bringing the tools IN was just hiding that he was emptying the car for carrying someone else around that afternoon. Someone alive, maybe.

 

[Seattle1]

Didn't Andy say, in a recent interview or on PE, sorry I don't recall which...anyway that they wanted to find her before the snow set in? Maybe LE has everything but Suzanne's body, and had decided to push the accelerator down on Sept 1 if they couldn't find her before then. No way they don't know the whole timeline of the hotel. Did that article in DM say when the hastily called in employee went to LE?

^^bbm
I read it as the DM taking credit for going to LE on behalf of the employee...nothing about the employee going to LE, only that the mail was turned over to FBI. MOO

 

[MsBetsy]

It says spent the night before her disappearance - so to me that means Saturday night. of course, I'd like to know for sure - but it makes sense. Although chlorine could mean bleach- and this makes sense to me- I have always thought there was a cleanup in the home.
JMO

It doesn't make sense to me. Why would the hotel staff allow someone to check into a room that had not been cleaned and the towels replaced? How does that explain the sudden end to the conversation Suzanne was having with her friend if Barry was 2 1/2 hour away in a hotel room? Why would Barry do all that driving back and forth and never show up at the jobsite knowing his alibi could be easily confirmed by LE?

Did he bring Suzanne with him to the hotel on Saturday night?

 

[Birmingplumb]

Plumbing traps can hold rings, bones, etc. The hotel room plumbing system must be searched and wouldn't that require a warrant? If L.E. did not search the plumbing traps -I say they did not already know about the room day 1-why then not search? Or could they have? The shower or tub would could require destruction to property to search if a slab. Would a search warrant in Denver be public record ?

 

[Hazelnutty]

Fingers crossed for an arrest very soon.

we need Lauren or the @ProfilingEvil guys to call this guy and get the specifics - the way I read it, he found all that stuff in the room, and stayed there until Tuesday and that day turned it over to LE. I'm sure he heard she was missing since BM told him he had to leave the hotel room for a family emergency
JMO

 

[DizzyB]

Did the employee have to get a key from the front desk or did Barry leave it somewhere for him? I am assuming Barry rented the room for X amount of days, for himself or crew, and then handed it off in some way to the worker.

The Broomfield Holiday Inn does have a gym, spa and indoor pool.

MOO...

Most pools across the country were still closed on May 9-10. As were hotel dining rooms, take-out only. Things were quiet in my area. I don't know about Denver....
