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

OMG @the daily mail article. I’m not home right now, but I cannot WAIT to get home later and read ALL of it and here. Come on Felony Friday! We’re ready and waiting!

 

[oviedo]

I am just stunned at the stupidity of all of this - the question for me ? Is he just that arrogant? Did he not watch enough forensic files or CSI? I mean seriously - leaving bleach smelling hotel room with wet towels that may possibly have blood evidence on them? did he take his truck to a car wash too? where's his trash??
OMG

Didn’t Barry say he was gone because he had to leave his guys tools for when they showed up on Monday? Now we hear no tools? And supposedly left Sunday morning? I am so sad for those girls.

My guess is he did something to her before he left and disposed of her somewhere along the way to the hotel. Possibly did have the hotel already reserved for the job and it was a convenient clean up spot.

Will be interesting to find out how long the hotel had been reserved for. When did he actually arrive? What type of bags he had with him? Did he have a trailer with a skid loader with him, etc? Hope they have video. Also find it suspicious that the coworker seems to resemble Barry a bit.

As there does not appear to be an actual landscaping job to have to be done or prepared for,I would like to know whether Barry took his Bobcat or other machinery on his return trip to Denver at his time of 5am.

Bleach (chlorine) is so strong both in cleaning properties but smell- if your hotel room smells like bleach either something nasty happened there or your hotel is going over the top with Covid measures (not the cheap hotels!)
The fact he likely purchased and brought bleach to use at the hotel room is terribly suspicious. This means cleaning up blood to me..
any one know if they may have found blood in the house?
All moo!

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.

 

[ivegotthemic]

Depends on if you use more than one vehicle. The tracking off those cars will be interesting. moo

@MassGuy said it first but I have to agree with his wisdom, the cell phone datas going to tell us everything. They also forget about the GPS on the phone

It’s possible there hasn’t been an arrest yet only because they want a body. I think this guy is soooo transparent they know almost exactly what happened and hopefully have quite a bit of evidence, but a body makes life a whole lot easier for the prosecution. Maybe they’re just giving it time and turning up the heat to see if they can get that last very important piece they need—Suzanne. My personal opinion is that they have enough anyway. I hope so at least!

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?

You took the words right out of my mouth.

and now I'm back to Saturday night and the sound of equipment running.... just what was that knowing we know he showered at the hotel - I've said my thoughts before - and won't repeat it - but those cameras at the hotel are going to be golden

Could it be the annual renewal of the marital home? That must be a good chunk of money on that property - my guess is around 8-10K.
JMO

If it was insurance it’d most likely be around 1k, taxes much higher though. But it could be they were overdue or insurance had been cancelled for non payment. Which is even worse that he wouldn’t have had 1k to pay annual insurance. Much bigger financial snowball?

Was it said somewhere that he used ammonia? Another very strong cleaning agent. Does not smell like bleach.
Bleach is almost the same as chlorine, it has an additional chemical but has chlorine in it. Pools have a very low concentration of chlorine as it’s very abrasive to skin.
This was not just from swimming in the pool.
moo.

Whoa -- so he was at the hotel on Saturday night?? Wonder when he got there, and why on earth would he lie to the police about leaving for Denver at 5 a.m. on Sunday, leaving SM sleeping?

yes it was foolishly me, i knew it was one of those bad boys. and i agree with bleach its at least somewhat plausible it could have come form a pool somewhere

 

[muppethead]

I clean for a living. Swimming pool chlorine on a towel is not like bleach odor after cleaning. And Ill bet a guy in a rush situation would feel the need to overkill on the bleach. moo

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

 

[NuttMegg]

Wouldn't it be a HOOT if BM is arrested and
held on a charge of illegally possessing elk horns??? bwahahahah.

Don't laugh, remember how they finally had to get Al Capone....tax evasion.

It could be where the rack leads to, or maybe some friend knows more about the rack, where it was found, hiding places nearby...

Right about now I'd think that some completely innocent pals are going over some of BM's stories/actions this year.

 

[enelram]

An interesting thing about a RTD-Denver ‘project’ is that since it’s public transportation, they are going to have security cameras all over the place at their sites. So it will be very easy to verify anything BM has said about that project.

Having stayed in Brookfield before, I’d bet that whole town is covered in cameras and I wonder what they might have caught BM doing that weekend.

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
???????

 

[Megnut]

Since he didn't apparently have any equipment in Denver, there goes the theory he was at the Salida jobsite to gather some for that purpose.

LE told us they found nothing to connect to Suzanne or the case at this time.

Bet they do now.

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.

Regarding life insurance for her, I would think her getting life insurance as a cancer survivor would be very difficult and very expensive. JMO

That (unless it was a policy she had for a long period of time) and if there's no proof that she's deceased, how does one collect on it? Not sure how that works in missing person's cases. Does it take LE to say presumed deceased for an insurance company to pay out to the beneficiary?

IMO
