Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #31

[NoSI]

Time lapse of drive from Denver to Buena Vista on 285. Gives good idea of what area looks like... Of course, we don't know yet if he took this way or not... i think it is more likely that he did as about 150 miles total distances compared to 189 miles via US 50 and I-25.

I'm trying to figure out the timeline.

According to the friend, the texting with SM stopped at 2:30 pm on Saturday which was 12:30 pm MT. So are we to presume that SM was still at home at that time? Surely, if she wasn't she might have mentioned that to her friend.

Check in time at the hotel is 3 pm. So did he arrive on Friday or Saturday? If he arrived on Saturday he could have arrived any time after 3 pm. Which means he was probably there less than 24 hours. He and his worker were like two ships passing in the night for him to say there was a family emergency. The emergency aspect of Sunday didn't culminate until BM had to get the neighbour to check on SM and at that time the seed was planted about a bike ride. So when did he tell his worker he had to leave to go back home? Before or after his call to JR (neighbour).

Broomfield is about 3 hours from Maysville yet it took BM much longer than that to get home since he arrived around 9 pm.

I don't think SM was ever in that hotel room, alive or dead. I think all those towels strewn around the room, reeking of chlorine were evidence of a plan, interrupted. The left behind mail is evidence of a individual not thinking straight who is now in damage control.

I hope LE knew all this many, many weeks before we did. I hope Mr. JP provided all this information shortly after his return to Salida and his musings of alibis are many weeks after the fact. I hope LE got into that hotel room and tore apart that shower base looking for evidence of human matter or hair clinging to the drain. What grieves me is that SM is probably not whole. That she resides in many places and always will.

It’s so weird. Every time I think a Colorado case can’t be any crazier, another one comes along.

Watts, Berreth, Stauch, and now this one. This one has taken longer to develop than those others, and I expect that to continue. That means more fireworks ahead.

I know...I've wondered if the Daily Mail has opened a satellite branch in Colorado...maybe they have.

Yep atleast we know Colorado le know their job very well .its just a waiting game now.the da isn’t scared of no body cases. Does anyone know if he is charged and convicted what happen to the gardenship does being found guilty undo everything he did ?

The thing that gets me is if there was an innocent reason to not be at home when your wife goes missing then I think the reason should be fairly simple. Like "I was at place X instead of being at home because I was working". End of story.

But the information we are hearing is not simple at all. First its an unusual late midnight work session Saturday night over in Salida that woke up a neighbor over there.

And after we hear he allegedly left his home at 5am on Sunday morning without waking the wife, now we are hearing he somehow had checked into a Denver motel at some point that same weekend, and there is some confusion on when he booked the motel and when he was present in that room.

Too many things are confusing about it. It should be more straightforward if nothing shady was happening.

His family or an interested party can file a motion with the court to have him remove

I honestly don't think she will be found close to home. Wondering what route he took to Broomfield. If he took US Highway 285 S lots and lots of places to hide a body. Vast with access to national forest and sparsely populated...

I don't think she will either @NoSI. I wish I had a good reason for this feeling outside the sense that BM wasn't sure how to dispose of her, and so he carried her along with him and dealt with that last--after the staging etc. MOO.

When he's arrested, I'm sure that will happen

I’m sure this is old news to law enforcement. Barry’s alibi would have been scrutinized from the get-go, and investigators would have talked to all his workers, to include JP.

Suzanne’s phone records would have been subpoenaed, and her location during the last hours of contact would almost certainly be known.

I can’t imagine the amount of work going into analyzing digital records for both Suzanne and Barry, viewing surveillance footage, reviewing financial records, and talking to witnesses.

I’m not sure if the “chlorine” means anything, or if the letter(s) are relevant, but I’m sure that room was scrutinized and law enforcement has a good idea by now. I personally don’t believe Suzanne was in that room though, dead or alive.

My first thought with chlorine was COVID. We travel with bleach wipes and wipe down any surface in a room where we stay overnight. MOO BM is guilty but not sure whether the bleach has anything to do with it? What else besides blood would he need to clean? And does bleach even work on blood?

[This is also around the time COVID was surging in Colorado, or coming down from the post spring break surge, if I'm remembering right? I know we hopped a plane back to Alabama just before flights started getting cancelled. That was in April...and then I think the surge happened in May? Someone local might know better.]

If you use chlorine based bleach, it will apparently still react to Luminol. Oxygen based detergents however, effectively destroy DNA evidence.

This is especially true on clothing that has gone through the wash. Regular bleach can still be detected after washing many times, but oxygen based detergents can be effective on the first go.

I wonder if they can use an infrared helicopter at night to trace BM gps route on the way to Denver. A body should show up for at least 6 months if he or anyone else placed her off the hwy along the route.

i'm sure this has been posted and discussed, but i'm just trying to catch up here. i'm sure there are others who had to sleep for a little while last night, and missed about 2,000 pages of discussion, like me. lol.

Suzanne Morphew’s husband left Denver hotel, contractor claims room was “reeking of chlorine” | FOX21 News Colorado

Contractor for Suzanne Morphew’s husband claims

CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. — The husband of missing Chaffee County woman, Suzanne Morphew, left personal items in motel room in Broomfield in the days before his wife’s disappearance, according to a man contracted to work with him that weekend.

I spoke with Jeffery Puckett who said he worked for Barry Morphew on Mother’s Day. Hear what he has to say tomorrow as I am working to get more answers as to what may have happened to #SuzanneMorphew in Salida today. @FOX21News #FindSuzanne #Justice4Suzanne pic.twitter.com/gtSXlKx46x

Jeffrey Puckett told FOX21 News he arrived at the motel on May 10 and stayed in a room Barry had purchased for him. Puckett described noticing a strong smell of chlorine in the air.

“I thought the pool might have been open, but it wasn’t,” Puckett said.

This article also interestingly states:

Puckett mentioned he saw Barry in person on Saturday, May 9, and described the work he’d been hired to do, a project involving fixing a wall. But, he said, Barry didn’t leave him to tools he needed.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess JP and BM met AFTER 12:30 pm Saturday. I bet JP hadn't even heard about this job needing done ASAP until after that point, as well.
