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

[MsBetsy]

I like this line of thinking but it creates an interesting question in my mind. If C & M leave with BM at 5am Sunday morning why is JP involved in this at all? Is it because BM was trying to set up JP to be a POI with the hotel room and deflect attention from himself? But if so, why leave your mail in the trash placing you in that room?

It was mentioned that M and C were at the hotel but I haven't seen any indication that they drove together.

I think the hotel room was meant for Barry. He would have wanted it to be believable that he had planned to stay in the room. When he suddenly left for home, he turned the room over to JP. Wet towels on the floor and envelopes left behind made it look like he left in a hurry due to a family emergency. Imo

Did they all drive together? I got the impression Barry drove there alone.

I'm guessing he needed the bobcat for the job. That might be his excuse for fixing it late at night - the problem showed up when he was ready to load the bobcat to go to the jobsite.

I'm curious about this job. Were the other two folks at the hotel supposed to be working the same job as JP?

If so, I wonder how long the other two waited at the hotel before giving up and going home.

IMO one thing I do believe from BM is that he did nothing wrong at the hotel.

Also, I do continue to wish Lauren would share her full inteview transcripts.

I agree with your emphasis, he did nothing wrong "at the hotel". His indignation sounds real when he talks about Puckett, the chlorine and he did nothing wrong.

Where BM fumbles is in his denial that he had anything to do with Suzanne's disappearance, IMO.

It was mentioned that M and K were at the hotel but I haven't seen any indication that they drove together.

I think the hotel room was meant for Barry. He would have wanted it to be believable that he had planned to stay in the room. When he suddenly left for home, he turned the room over to JP. Wet towels on the floor and envelopes left behind made it look like he left in a hurry due to a family emergency. Imo

But not such a hurry that he left his tools behind, apparently.

Me thinkie BM has the same (invisible) attorney that LS had. moo

Only thing he's missing is the fake poly results

As far as I know the only two vehicles there were Suzanne's. I haven't heard there were other cars left at the residence. I guess it's possible.

Plus whatever he was up to he felt the need to friend TD the next time he saw him purposely to tell what "happened". He also kept mentioning searching "up" as if that was the way SM had been taken and the article found was "up".
I totally agree that any searches should be in that direction.

I so totally agree! BM's subconscious mind has been blurting out clues this whole time -- Bobcat, up, SM had "a run-in with someone who knows her well," "it's too soon."

 

[Topppps]

i thought it was established that the 2 vehicles belonged to SM. one newer and one older vehicle....

My apologies I didnt read that, did you know where you saw that?

 

[MadTing]

Has it been confirmed whether his tools were left behind at the hotel? JP said no tools were left behind, Barry said he left them

 

[MsBetsy]

But not such a hurry that he left his tools behind, apparently.

Yeah, I wish JP had clarified if there were any tools in the room. He said there was nothing at the job site, but only mentioned wet towels and mail in the room. Leaving the tools behind would be another sign that he left abruptly. We also still haven't heard from the other employees.

 

[Hoosierfan72]

And we have BM saying that he brought up leaving early Sunday morning to SM at the last minute. That doesn’t jive with a project that has been planned for a month.

Agreed. Not to mention, who drives up to a job at 5 am (on Mother's Day, of all days) to 'set up' a job that's only three hours away? And then we find out he apparently didn't "set up" anything, other than getting the hotel rooms (which one would think would be the last item on the list of things to do, knowing the crew isn't coming until the evening).
I think the timing of BMs conversation on Saturday with JP will be crucial to helping determine if this was premeditated or not. If BM talked with JP at a time when we know SM was alive, I think that points to premeditation. If BM talked with JP after SM's abrupt end to her conversation, then maybe this was an alibi-on-the-fly attempt. BM stated this had been planned "for months", is he painting himself into a corner re: premediation?? JMO, MOO

" A mechanical thing on my bobcat"

Why would you not be more specific? he sounds like he doesn't want to be specific because this thing he did to his bobcat played a part is her disappearance. An innocent person would be going off on long tangents explaining their every move that day in great detail.

totally agree- good thoughts.
Could he have been exchanging the regular blade on the bobcat for a digger/claw implement or an auger that could drill down
25-30 ft. straight down?
Is it possible LE just didn't dig deep enough to find her?
I'd love to know if LE search dogs hit on this
area.
They sure spent a lot of time and effort and $$
searching this spot.

 

[MsBetsy]

Has it been confirmed whether his tools were left behind at the hotel? JP said no tools were left behind, Barry said he left them

That's what I want to know. He said there were no tools or machinery when he went to the jobsite, but I don't think he mentioned if there were any in the hotel room.

Thanks EggSalad!
4:44 Re search: "It's being coordinated thru sheriff's deputies, so it's all on the up and up"

I don't think we knew that.... (?)

No we didn't know that. The video has some great information, worth a listen.

It also said Barry will NOT be part of the upcoming search.

I keep wondering how Colorado Springs factors into this. Why would BM tell AM that he had a job in Colorado Springs?

We can’t say it was a slip of the tongue and he really meant Broomfield since they obviously aren’t similar in pronunciation. Also, these two cities aren’t remotely close to each other to confuse the two. One is to the N of Denver and the other is to the S, almost 2 hours apart.

I don’t believe AM was mistaken in the name of the city his BIL told him. Usually under these type of circumstances, when you ask someone to provide details of what is going on, you listen more attentively than usual and capture the information to memory more intently.

Unless it is disclosed later that there was a job BM also had in Colorado Springs, the fact this is what BM told AM should be looked at. There’s a reason BM mentioned Colorado Springs to AM.

[MsBetsy]

Only thing he's missing is the fake poly results

Yeah, at least as far as we know. He also could have taken a polygraph independently and led AM to believe it was administered by LE. Imo

 

[dspdenver]

Wouldn’t it be a huge liability to have a wall near the highway that is not up to code? Wouldn’t a contractor get sued if he did not fix that within weeks or a month as opposed to almost a year later?

Maybe it was the winter freeze/spring thaw that revealed some problem with the foundation and it only offset this spring?

 

[EggSalad]

Too late. Yesterday was 3rd September, he clearly said he left the tools in the hotel. Unless LS cut off the rest of the sentence......"but I had to take them back with me". I don't think she would do that, any reporter would know that is altering the whole concept of the statement.
I think he left the tools, but in someone else's room, I just don't understand why it is so important to him to emphasize tools, and JP to deny "machinery", I think that's the word he used. If anyone else accompanied BM to the hotel, why wouldn't they have left with him when he went back to Salida? If they did come to Denver with him (no evidence of that, just speculation), that would mean they would be dependent on JP for getting to and from job site. Just reading between the lines, there was, imo, some friction that stopped JP and the other 2 from working together without BM there.

Good catch on that BM quote.

Maybe BM needing a room to shower and clean something with bleach is the sole reason JP was in the mix on this. And maybe that is why JP was brought in so late, so that BM could have time in that room by himself. Surely BM wouldn’t be able to clean with bleach, shower and leave the tools all in C & M’s room(s).
