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

JP may have just been bored out of his mind. He might have been down to snooping around the room, or reading the Gideon Bible. MOO.

I find this whole motel/mail/JP thing totally confusing. I can't discern even one single reason why BM called JP and told him to come to Broomfield.

• BM didn't bring tools for JP to use.
• BM couldn't use JP as a witness that BM was in Broomfield because he left before JP got there.
• BM never talked to JP again and let him sit idle for 2 days in the hotel while there was a supposedly important job to be done.
• Why didn't JP call BM and say, "Hey, where are the tools, and where's the job, and what am I doing here exactly?"
• If you've done nefarious things in your hotel room, why didn't you rent another room for your employee so he wouldn't see or smell all your mess? At $92 a night, it's cheaper than having another witness, isn't it?
• If you've gotten JP to come to work, and you have no plan, no tools, no workplace and no work for him to do, you've just added another witness for the prosecution.

I know I am pages behind....

But, the.... "BM never talked to JP again and let him sit idle for 2 days in the hotel while there was a supposedly important job to be done. & Why didn't JP call BM and say, "Hey, where are the tools, and where's the job, and what am I doing here exactly?"

BM could've been the kind of boss where he was never to be questioned. He did in fact order JP to go to work.

I don't think

Could he have had a large wheely toolbox which he had used to carry something other than tools.
Perhaps it was empty when taken into the hotel room,but needed a good wash.

You have to be an idiot to go through all the hassle of cleaning tools and whatever else with bleach in a motel room, and then leave the dirty towels on the floor for one of your own employees to just happen upon them. I don’t get it.

If it was all a setup, it’s a big time fail.

I think with all the hullabaloo surrounding recent press, LE felt compelled to say something, anything. I am okay with putting a little pressure on them. My belief all along is that the case is not going to be hurt by holding a press conference and reminding people about Suzanne and asking citizens to call in tips. According to what they have said so far, there have been no new searches. So if Andy wants to put a crew together, it puts the focus on Suzanne and isn’t disrupting any of their searches.

 

[Puzzles8]

Is LE saying, ‘if it didn’t come from us, don’t believe it, or take it with a grain of salt”?

Does this press release discount anything we’ve heard from AM or JP lately?

It suggests to me that the CCSO really wants to control the narrative...

[ajaylee]

• Bathtub used as wash basin;
• Towels used as wash rags;
• Bleach used with intent to remove blood and attempt to destroy DNA from surfaces of something employed for or worn during criminal act;
• Public statement that he had to take tools to distant job site one day ahead of crew showing up to work an attempt to explain why he might possibly be seen on surveillance toting something large enough to contain tools for his kind of work; and
• Hotel room used to provide alibi - "working out of town to prep job for next day."

Except....reading this, I find myself wondering why on earth he would take an item or items potentially contaminated with SM's DNA to a hotel to clean? Why wouldn't he leave the item(s) where he disposed of the body?

I'm still struggling with this part of JP's story. What portable item(s) could BM have used for SM's death and burial that he would need/want to take to a hotel, of all places, to clean? And what could be so extraordinarily valuable that he would clean the item(s) in a hotel room instead of disposing of them when he disposed of the body?

Himself or his clothing? There's nothing suspicious about his wife's DNA being found on his clothing. He'd only have to worry about blood.

He then claimed he waited around the hotel for two days for Morphew, without ever visiting the work site, and returned to Salida two days after Suzanne Morphew’s disappearance.

He has not heard from Barry Morphew — who told him he had to leave “due to a family emergency” — since that time, he told the Daily Mail.

“It’s kind of weird,” Puckett told DailyMail.com. “My first thought was that this must be like an alibi. That’s what it felt like.”



I never realised that Puckett never went to work at the site. So did any work get done at the site that weekend?

I thought the usual suspect brought up the tools first sometime ago in some interview? If so could it be an excuse (tools for job) for already being asked day 2 by L.E. about the tool box he was seen pulling into room? L.E. -"Hey ...wtf is this on video ?" Oh , my luggage I mean my tools for the job I told u about........

 

[Barry]

IMO, there's an element of truth to all the different pieces and stories we are hearing. There's just enough of a baloney mix there to make it confusing.

Quoting my own post to own up to having no idea how mine ended up in the middle of windrovers.. full moon?

Disposing of any of his tools at the disposal would not have been smart. If her remains are ever found, and his work tools are buried with her, he is caught.

Otherwise, it still could be argued she was killed by an abductor.

I think it is possible that he had some blood on some boots or on a tarp, and he wanted to clean it thoroughly , before disposing of it. An old tarp in the trash is not a problem, unless there is visible blood on it.

I can certainly understand the family/friends' concern. LE's silence can go both ways.

If it hadn't been for the pressure and efforts of Kelsey Berreth's mother and brother, Patrick Frazee might have gotten away with murder.

Terri Ackerman disappeared from Lochbuie, Colorado two years ago. Nothing in the press and the family, understandably, believes that LE has simply dropped the case.

Looking at LE, no updates can mean the case is getting dropped (as appears the case with TA and might very well have been the case with KB). Careful releases of information can keep the case alive in the public's mine and potentially trigger others to come forward with helpful information.

Pretty sure the word 'alibi' was referring to the hotel room, being that NO job (and no tools available) actually happened. The mail was also suspicious to him, possibly, once he heard that SM disappeared.
JMO

I agree - JP means the entire situation was an "alibi." Not the mail. Mail was suspicious once he thought about it (but let's face it, once a person's spouse goes missing, just about anything they do around the time of the event looks "suspicious," as it should).

"Oh, Suzanne. Why'd you go missing? Now my life is a mess! And you know I don't like messes."

(Somehow, that's how I heard him, when he did the Oh, Suzanne video, which seems like ages ago.) By now, BM has had plenty of practice just putting one foot in front of the other, day by day, hoping that he will never be arrested. But it's in the back of his mind, all day, every day - and it's more dread than ever, right now, because things are happening and the case isn't going away.

From that link:
"Both Barry Morphew and Moorman have pointed to what they’ve seen as errors on the part of law enforcement in the days and months following Suzanne’s diasappearance." (sic)

When did Moorman point to errors on the part of law enforcement?

...(I only left to do the dishes.....)

The old rule in a hotel was when you are done with your towels and checking out, to leave the dirty ones on the floor. Or in the bathtub. But IF he he just got there at 8 a.m. and never really went to work, why did he need to take a shower at all before the phone call to go back home. In other words, there should not have been any wet towels at all on the floor.

 

[NuttMegg]

JP may have just been bored out of his mind. He might have been down to snooping around the room, or reading the Gideon Bible. MOO.

Maybe it was as simple as LE asking him if BM left anything in the room. If LE knew about the room by Tuesday.

You so needed a 'winky' smiley.

 

[Ericthered]

FBI didn't get involved, according to msm, until the 14th, Wednesday. If JP spent 2 days
waiting for the job to develop, maybe he came home on Tues, slept on his info, found out the
suspicious nature of the investigation and then
went to LE. They referred him to FBI.
MOO

But he thought he should pick a piece of mail out of the trash and hold onto it until a later date when he would then hand it over to the FBI? Before anyone knew suzanne was even missing?

Suzanne Morphew - Chaffee County Sheriff

September 3, 2020

On Mother’s Day, May 10th, 2020 Suzanne Morphew was reported missing to the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office. Almost immediately the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office asked for
assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, CBI, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI.

A search For Suzanne started immediately and over the course of the past nearly four months over 100 personnel, including air support, water craft, underwater equipment, drones and
numerous types of K-9 have been utilized in an attempt to find Suzanne.

A tip line was immediately established and hundreds of tips have been fielded and are being investigated.

The investigation team has conducted hundreds of interviews both in Colorado and out of state and continue to develop leads and contact potential persons who may have information into
the disappearance of Suzanne.

With the assistance of both the CBI and the FBI our investigate team has tapped the full resources of both agencies.

As with any investigation our responsibility and priority is to determine the facts and maintain the integrity of the investigation. Our sole focus is either finding Suzanne or determining the
circumstances behind her disappearance and the only way to do this is to keep the information gathered as the result of this investigation under seal.

The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office, CBI, FBI and the 11 th Judicial District continue to devote our resources to this investigation. Not one day has passed since Suzanne was reported missing
that our investigative team has not been focused on Suzanne Morphew.

Our investigative team is committed to releasing information to the public ONLY when it is in the best interest of Suzanne Morphew and this investigation.

If there are new developments in this case or information is going to be released it will be disseminated through an official written press release.

Thank You

John A. Spezze

Chaffee County Sheriff

What a refreshing update from LE.

That is all we ask for cases as they start to drag on. We just need some assurance they are still working on the case. With this latest update we got much more than that as they sound very committed and I love this part below.
Whoever was responsible should be very worried after hearing this:

"With the assistance of both the CBI and the FBI our investigate team has tapped the full resources of both agencies."
