Exclusive: Barry Morphew responds to explosive claims regarding the disappearance of wife, Suzanne | FOX21 News Colorado

For the first time, on record with FOX21 News, Barry Morphew has agreed to share his side of the story.

“Listen,” Barry said during a Thursday morning phonecall, “Jeff Puckett was in prison for nine years.”

Still, Barry confirmed he had hired Puckett for a project in Broomfield on Mother’s Day Weekend this year. They needed to fix a wall, Puckett said.

“I said listen, I need to do this job, I will pay you good money to come and help me,” Barry said of Puckett. “I gave him a job and an opportunity.”

It was not a last minute project, Barry explained, the job had been in the works for a month.

“That has nothing to do with Suzanne missing,” he said.

Puckett agreed to the work and traveled to Broomfield, where Barry had paid for a room. Puckett told FOX21 he walked inside and was immediately struck by a strong smell of chlorine.

“I mean, I’m not going to beat around the bush, it did,” he said. “I mean it smelled real strong. I’m like, damn, that’s just what I thought.”

Puckett also found signs that the room had been used in some capacity, and reasoned Barry had been inside at some point.

“The bed hadn’t been slept in or laid in or nothing, it was just kind of laid on or something,” Puckett said. “Maybe he got in, took a shower, and then that was it – just washed up and left.”

Puckett said he was told Barry had to leave for a family emergency that Sunday night, May 10.

Barry said he left in a hurry, when he learned his wife was missing.

“I rushed home, left all my tools at the hotel called my workers and said, ‘I have a family emergency, you’re going to have to figure this out on your own,'” he said.

But Puckett said the crew couldn’t finish their work.

“We had nothing to work with,” he said. And he described what would have been necessary in order to complete that particular job.

“Once you build [the wall] up, you run a layer block, some dirt, get [it] inspected, then you keep continuing until the next level – and there was nothing like that to work with,” Puckett said. “That kind of pissed me off, so I come on back.”

<snip>

“I did nothing wrong in the hotel,” Barry said. “There’s cameras all over the hotel, I did nothing wrong.”

The hotel isn’t the only location where the presence of a strong smell has been mentioned.

Suzanne’s older brother, Andrew Moorman, brought up something he’d heard, following a search of the Morphew family home.

“From what I understood secondhand, they said there was an overwhelming smell of bleach in the home,” he said.

That information had apparently been relayed to him by initial investigators.

“I’ve heard the FBI lie and I know that they can legally do that in their investigations,” Barry said. “But it just pains me to know that they are doing this to me and my family.”

Moorman said CBI agents brought up other concerns as well.

“They did ask us, ‘why can’t we find any coolers at the house?’ And I said, ‘well I have no idea. I don’t know how many they had to begin with,” he said. “But I assume, as a hunter and a guy that maybe camps, he would have a few, and they couldn’t find a single one.”

HOLY SHAT!

 

[Minordetails]

Puckett did 9 years, he's no fool to get roped into Barry's game. Lots of catching up to do!

Roping a guy with 9 years time into the mess is premeditated.

IMO

Trying to envision BM wiping things down with bleach wipes made me laugh. I just don’t see BM being that considerate or caring about exposing Suzanne...or anyone for that matter. He would probably have tried to give her Covid if there was a way he wouldn’t get it too. Sorry if that’s too mean spirited in light of the Covid pandemic putting us all at risk. I’m just saying BM seems self-centered and inconsiderate of others. But hey I don’t really know him so maybe he’s a germaphobe! Maybe he carries bleach with him wherever he goes. But bleach wipes don’t smell that strong and they are usually scented with lemon or orange...oh how I miss those real bleach wipes. I wish I would have gone to Sam’s and stocked up on those big 4 pack canisters of Lysol bleach wipes at the beginning of May...now you can’t even find them anywhere around here now. Only the sticky bleach spray. It doesn’t have a strong bleach smell either. MOO

Hmm isn’t that what Patrick Frazee tried to use to clean up? Must have had them on hand and as a cancer survivor I’m sure SM did —

 

[GoJacks]

Do you think he is still working right now?

Working on another theory to run with?

His push up game?

Doesn't seem like he's working too hard on finding his missing wife, that's for sure.

Coolers, huh?? Very interesting little tidbit that they were intent on finding them but couldn't.

 

[MassGuy]

Then why would he be needing so much bleach?

Probably because they had a violent encounter, one that produced blood. The bleach thing is super common, and I can’t tell you how many cases I’ve followed where that has clued law enforcement in to the fact that violence occurred at a particular location.

 

[DizzyB]

Well Barry did admit that he was in the hotel room. He said he noticed the bleach smell too. Oh boy. Keep talking bud.

 

[muppethead]

Then why would he be needing so much bleach?

Well...... if he shot her or whacked her at home there was blood to clean up there. Then if he took her body and did whatever unspeakable things when he was done he had to clean up himself. moo

And this reminds me of another's comment about Tyson seeing Barry shirtless and all red. Did he scrub himself red raw? Like Lady MacBeth?

 

[NuttMegg]

Why would he say he left all his tools at the hotel?

 

[Ssschu]

He’s going with deny until you die

Yep, he will NEVER confess.

 

[GoJacks]

Hmm isn’t that what Patrick Frazee tried to use to clean up? Must have had them on hand and as a cancer survivor I’m sure SM did —

If you all remember correctly he used like one or two before giving up on the clean up. That's when he had to call in the ol' cowgirl for help.

I hope BM had his level of dedication to the clean up.

 

[Topppps]

Can you give some examples so I can look them up?

YUP!

 

[Topppps]

I'm confused how is Barry trying to frame JP?

 

[Minordetails]

So there’s no chance BM pulls a rabbit out of his hat? He alone is solely responsible for the disappearance of SM?

 

[marylamby]

Roping a guy with 9 years time into the mess is premeditated.

IMO

BM is squirming like a caged animal. It's about damn time.

 

[GoJacks]

Those hunting coolers could certainly hold a body, especially with the type of game Barry hunted. He wouldn’t have to dismember Suzanne or anything.

I was wondering how Barry got Suzanne out of his house, and a cooler is the perfect way to do that. Shades of Patrick Frazee, and the “black tote.”

Just interesting that they couldn't find a single cooler in the house. I'd imagine he had multiple, as I know most hunters do.

But yes, I think you're right I didn't even think about that.

 

[Janeumayer]

Why would he say he left all his tools at the hotel?

Ooh maybe he’s framing JP for stealing his tools!

 

[Backstroke10]

Do you think he is still working right now?

No I don’t Knox. I don’t even think his “friends” want him around any job site right now. MOO

I guess you've never seen Mateo on youtube-- 2014!

Goggle: "Linda Linda Listen, Mateo Makes His Case Cupcakes"

I have no words... I would have probably handed over that cupcake much faster...

Listen, listen, everyone! Listen! Can we have felony friday tomorrow? Listen! It's time!
