Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #34

I actually forgot today was the 4 month anniversary of Suzanne being reported missing. If Barry is serious about this mountain lion theory, perhaps he could make an offering in the form of Sheba cat food. I think that brand is fitting, as the commercial stars an apparently sociopathic mom who only cares about her cats and not her injured son.

“Mom I fell.”

“There’s bandages in the cabinet” [strokes cat].

“I’m bleeding.”

“Grab two.”

As the parent of tween/teens, and also cat owner, I feel you might replace "apparently sociopathic" with "perfectly reasonable..."

Maybe Sheba mum should have a word with BM?

Assisting Law Enforcement with the Location of Clandestine Graves Since 19

Not surprised by this resource at all. IMO, it’s really an exercise in subtle disturbances in the baseline environment. This takes a skilled eye. This is done with a small team of experienced folks, with LE probably waiting on the sidelines in the targeted search area. Staying out of the way. IMO

Excellent summary as to the current state of affairs with missing persons in the USA.

I hope you got/get an "A" on your paper because I think you nailed it with your research.

Personally, for this case, I am happy that LE puts out their monthly updates that at least reminds us they are actively working the case. That is more than we get in some other cases when the case seems to get a little on the cold side of things.

Lets hope LE is still waiting on some important test results to come back to wrap up the case, or better yet, lets hope they find Suzanne.

Thank you <3, This is an area I clearly have alot of feelings about and I appreciate any opportunity to shed a light on an area of law this is need of major reforms dues to its unconscionable inadequacies, at least at the federal level. There are obvious good investigators out there but, there are so many unnecessary obstacles to solving these cases. IMO. I think its somewhat easier to understand LE's behavior when you have the whole picture, but sadly it makes it no less upsetting. I tried to keep it to the mist important aspects, but when the lawyer in me starts making the case I tend to get long winded lol

okay so i wasnt going to be this guy, but i am this guy so why fight it? First I want to say everyone entitled to their own opinion and I respect everyone's thoughts. Im merely the provider of adult missing person cases data. So to graduate we have to write a 10,000 word research paper on a topic. I chose adult missing persons cases (and imo its on the same level of one of picassos paintings) ive looked at the law, and policy, and just as general rule LE doesnt not care about adult missing persons, and legally they have no obligation to. (now this varies state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction.) but at the federal level theres not a single law that requires LE to investigate adult missing persons over the age of 21.

Adults can and are allowed to leave if they want so their not considered high priority. LE has to take the report when its filed (its illegal for them to make you wait to file, no law prevents it) HOWEVER theres no procedures or legal standards that require them to take action. It usually gets pushed off a few days to see if the person shows up. This is the worst possible things that can happen because the first 48 hours after someone goes missing are the most important. statically if they arent found within that time frame they are likely dead and whats worse is wait to start the investigation causes important evidence to be lost or ruined (ie the preservation of a crime scene) . The National Crime Information Center (NCIC) reports over 600,000 people are reported missing each year and thankfully a majority of these are solved but Adult individuals over the age of 21, accounted for roughly 48,642, or 56 percent, of current open missing person cases. I mean how many missing persons do we hear about a year? a few dozen maybe? but the reality is at any given time in thiss country their are 48,642 missing adults and a majority of them arent being looked for.

The media coverage in SM's case is probably falling with the top 2% of all adult missing person cases. (and im in no way saying it shouldnt be, no person deserves to be forgotten, every person deserve this much coverage but its just an impossibility) Most missing perons get to mention a few times on the news and get a few article but that it. And sadly the data shows these spots are typically reserved for upper-middle class/middle class white men and women from good families. It your poor, if your a person of color, if youve ever done a drug or made a mistake your cases is statically proven to get much less coverage AND when these cases are covered the media speaks about the victims in a way that suggest their choices lead to the situation (aka they are less worthy of finding) which leads LE and the community, in general, to feel less of a sense or urgency to find them. White women, however, are categorically described as victims in need of rescue

LE is not required to federally report adult missing persons to NCIC, or ViCAP, or to submit DNA to codic. this is left up to the states to handle and unfortunately, that can mean theres inconsistency in procedures and theirs no real consequence to the LE agency if they forget. Adults dont get Amber alerts,the programs establish by non-profits are less funded and well put together then the resources provided to le and family members of adult missing persons. , and their case as a whole are not prioritized as much as other crimes. LE is usually so busy they just dont have the time or resources to continue making these cases a priority long term and they have no model or roadmap for how to best utilize what they do have. so sadly alot of people just get forgotten. IMO its not right, these families deserve answers and no one, and i mean no one deserves to just be forgotten. However, given the limitations of the current system, these are unfortunate realities. Im really not okay with, im horrified acually and its like a lesser known secret that this happens pretty often. The cases that keep LE attention over time are usually only done so as a result of a loved one that resfuses to give up.

All that being said I have no idea what LE has done in SMs case or how through they were, but I can tell you they took the case seriously and they acted right away. Thats invaluable to finding SM and ensuring evidence is collected and sadly there are a decent amount of agencies that dont feel that same sense of urgency when they get a report. I know theyve gotten multiple warrants and they've conduct multiple searches and their working with the support of the FBI. Their taking this case seriously, following up on leads. There behavior reflects that their acting with SMs best interest in mind. We probably wont know how much hey did do or if more could have been done for a while, but there not giving up on SM. Thee not letting her become an afterthought and to me thats significant because unfortunately that doesnt happen or most missing people. SM absolutely deserve the attention. and these should be standard operating procedures but for a variety of reasons their not. and every one is 100% justified in being frustrated, logically is seems impossible that theres nothing they can share or that theres no way the public can help, but their working every day on this cases and for that fact alone I believe, at least for now their actions have earned the benefit of the doubt and IMO There are over 40,000 other missing person case sitting in some officer gathering dust and being ignored that back that up.

Its still frustrating AF but i think if we look at SMs case in terms of how adult missing person cases are handled across the country, LE in this cases is doing pretty good (and i by no means am criticizing LE there are a variety of factors at play here often well out of the investigator's hands Now I know what your thinking, isnt still doing their job the bare minimum they should be doing? heck yeah, its sad and we absolutely need reforms here but the current acceptable standard nationwide is much much lower. I personally find this to be appalling and cleary its an issue im passionate about. I hope i didnt come of preachy, not at all my intent just wanted to highlight the extremely depressing realities. sorry for bringing mood ruining vibe I just thought it might be helpful to have context as to wildly inadequate laws and procedures thank you for coming to my ted talk

Well Done! I agree with you.

They also have ground penetrating radar, according to their site.
So, there's that.

Colorado volunteer scientists play crucial role in unearthing human remains | FOX31 Denver

DENVER — When homicide detectives have a hard time finding bodies, they often contact a specific group of Colorado scientists. The 45 volunteers are premier experts of clandestine grave exploration.

For more than three decades, NecroSearch International has been helping police on hundreds of homicide cases in Colorado, across the country and around the world.

that's great news. If she's buried under something, they will find her. Hopefully soon!

 

[citygirl]

I was actually expecting a press release today, as they have distributed one every month on this date, if I recall.

I think they were merely trying to show how much they have done, and not responding to Andy. The other releases have been similar in nature.

Yes. Showing restraint with Andy.
They understand his frustration but may not be on board with the upcoming search for various reasons
Though, as per Andy, the Benghazi Boys will be monitoring the search areas and awaiting any finds sent by phone. Searchers have been warned to take pics , not touch anything, and wait.
Hoping the volunteers abide by this
MOO.

 

[Topppps]

Okay @Topppps I’m going to bite this time...almost looked up those coordinates the last time you posted them. So I just went down a big Poncha Springs rabbit hole. What is that creepy, abandoned looking place? Old mining camp? Ghost town? I couldn’t get down to eye level. Interesting how 115 turns off from 285 and loops through the rocky, wooded mountainous terrain with lots of cliffs and gorges and intersects back onto 285...what is it that makes you suggest this specific area as a possible location? Is it just because it’s a good hiding place or do you have information or research leading you to suspect this area? Well more than an “area” as you have exact coordinates. Did you send to PE, AM or CCSO? I agree it looks like a very good place to hide a body and is close to Maysville and could be done en route to Broomfield with just a little detour off the highway. There is also a little stretch of 285 that runs very closely and parallel to the Arkansas River with a secluded turn off where you could drive right up to the bank of the river. I haven’t caught up to the end of the thread so disregard if already asked & answered. TIA!

yeah if you go to google maps they'll show you satellite imagery of the terrain. I like this area because there is a finite number of options that Suzanne could be given the terrain is luckily terrible. It's one of the very few areas in Chaffee county that makes sense.

Hopefully get gps coordinates of the flagged site as well?

 

[Fireflize]

Well by now, all the data from his vehicles and cell phone should be sorted and graphed and mapped. Cameras picked him up at various places, time stamped. LE has narrowed down possible dump/burial sites. I think Andy's search will be targeted searches.
Suzanne's disappearance has struck a cord in people's hearts. She has an army wanting her found. If BM believes in a God who heard prayers, he should be worried. He's out numbered.

This is huge, and incredibly encouraging. Every time they are involved in a case, I bring up the book “No Stone Unturned: The Story of NecroSearch International,” by author Steve Jackson.

They are absolutely incredible in finding dead bodies, and are perfect for a case like this. They bring together experts from numerous scientific disciplines, and have had a tremendous amount of success.

For a time, that book was free on Kindle Unlimited, but I’m not sure if that’s still the case. It’s absolutely fascinating.

Pins & needles ... likely going to include a lot of how traumatized they have been by the folks on social media. MORGAN?

@Minordetails
Interesting. What makes you believe so? And if you're right, why not do it? How does the placeholder DA factor into your thinking, if at all?

With regards to LE having enough evidence, but not arresting BM. I’ll preface myself by stating that I’ve been buying everything AM says - hook, line and sinker. And if AM is just spewing rumors, then I’ve got nothing.

Assuming AM is being truthful, then I believe LE has enough circumstantial evidence to arrest BM now. However, LE is content to sit on what they have and wait for November to bring clarity to the DA puzzle piece.
