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

[Lyanna]

I'm a little undecided on one of MG's comments in her interview to LS, it doesn't make much sense to me - maybe I am overthinking it? MG said that if BM was innocent she would have expected him to maybe talk to her as she has worked with him a long time, but then, in the next sentence she says she is scared of him? Does she mean she is scared of him now as she thinks that he is responsible for Suzanne's disappearance or has she always been scared of him? Because, if I was scared of someone that I worked with and had been scared of them for a long time - I wouldn't expect them to talk to me about issues outside of work etc because I wouldn't see us as having a comfortable working relationship. I would avoid spending much time with them alone or at all tbh unless absolutely necessary, also MG said that the original Broomfield job was supposed to be just her and BM iirc, I wouldn't be too happy about spending time working with someone that scared me when it would just be the 2 of us, and assuming that they would car share - travelling that distance together alone? with someone your scared of? like I said, maybe I am overthinking it, but idk.

A huge unanswered question! LE stated SM was seen ‘later than was previously thought’. It would narrow down the timeline when and where she was last seen.

Maybe SM was seen in person by her bike mechanic before the weekend. But then it came to light that SM was seen by her best friend over FaceTime or something like that on Friday or Saturday morning. With a wedding happening that weekend, FaceTiming your best friend to see dresses, the cake, decorations etc... seems plausible.

This is an awfully interesting statement. The beach was located at the job site that was searched?

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

“We opened the door and I mean, like, the chlorine hit you and you’re, like, my eyes started watering and burning. And, like, the towels were like super wet on the floor, and it looked like he had, like, made the bed before he left,” Gentile said.

And, she said, Barry’s behavior that weekend had seemed strange.

“Barry had worked on the beach site Friday evening,” Gentile said. “Saturday, he had asked me to clean it up and rake it out, because we were going to bring it out to level – so it would be a beach sand and not muck.”

The “beach site” located off County Road 105, east of Salida
That area, a construction site off County Road 105, east of Salida, is the same area where investigators spent three days searching for Suzanne, just a week later, on May 21-23.

“He was acting really weird about [the beach area], I was like Barry what’s up,” Gentile said. “He seemed stressed. He definitely seemed weird on Saturday.”

BAM-worth reading again.
Fri. eve. Barry worked on the beach site
he asked MG to clean up the site on Sat.
"He was acting weird about the beach area. He definitely seemed weird on Saturday."
was he prepping a hole Fri. eve.?
Did he change his mind?
Did he hide tools here in the ground?
'beach area'- another cryptic clue for our list.

Did Trevor Noel go silent after realizing how sketchy everything was and that he was being out in the middle of it?

or did he go silent because LE wasn’t buying the bike ride/mountain lion theory?

Why was Trevor so invested in the bike when LE wasn’t even announcing that on day 1?

Why would Trevor participate in telling one of Barry’s employees not to cooperate with the CBI?

He’s either an extremely dumb pawn or....

Well yeah. He’s definitely been right in the middle of things from the get go. This newest info from MG about him (& a friend of BM) telling her not to give her phone and they can’t pay her b/c it’ll look like hush money is just....wow. I’m sure LE is getting to the bottom of his involvement.

Seriously the amount of BS that LE is having to sort out in this case is mind boggling. <modsnip>

BBM With a wedding happening that weekend? The weekend of MD? Or the next weekend? When was the wedding? I thought Suzanne was planning to attend this wedding? Virtual wedding due to Covid? Did I miss this or is this new information @EggSalad? TIA

Very damning interview from Morgan gentile

yes, she may be THE most important witness to refute BM's timeline from Fri-Sunday plus she's good at reading his emotional state.
I'm glad she moved out of town, I'd say her life could be in danger here as well.
I say this as we've had several witnesses get killed in my area, before they had to testify in the trial.

 

[Feistyomi]

Orrrr, another thought I have is that she is totally pizzzed that she was used as part of his alibi.

Using your post as a way to of Catching up, agreeing something ticked her off, is it possible, the female coworker had a bit of a crush on BM, and in his dunderheadish(?), denial he crushed that... Woman scorned?
She also spent hours in proximity to Mr. Puckett, and may be a very suggestible personality...
IMHO, had MD been an uneventful one, the comment about going home and making the Wife happy would have been BMs way of pretending HE was in charge.... perhaps they did have an argument Sat about his work on Sunday, AND Mother’s Day, which put his work schedule awry...

This would explain some of his rather dumb actions, as he certainly would have felt extreme guilt, I suspect there were a few arguments in their relationships... I base this on 45 years of marriage to my yamn dankee, he is extremely intelligent, but sometimes “he don’t think so good”.( this is my deceased MIL description of my deceased FIL, it works, and is one of their many funny quotes...
I have a very high boiling point/ tolerance level/ independence, my hubby may miss the little things, but there is a certain tone of voice I use, that does get significant, rapid response. I see so many things in the Morphews’ marriage that just don’t fit with the “he done it” scenario, a relationship, each with their own niche, independent, yet totally together...
This is my own opinion, based on longevity of my own marriage...we’ve weathered turbulent teens with our four, health issues, deaths of parents, etc. we are too tired to start a new life...almost a bit more like BFF, w/ a more romantic touch, (when we have the energy)...
Fruitbowls?
One last thought, I feel Suzanne was quite self confident, clearly the one in charge, and confident enough to let BM think he was... again personal experience, my husband’s ego needs that, I do not.

mre covfye...moo

I text slowly, by time I finish and post, I am threads out of current context...nevermind, sigh

I slowed that MG interview down and there is definitely some micro expressions that she is trying to suppress when asked about sexual relationship with BM. Maybe it’s just regret but I think something happened or she at one point had feelings for the guy. I don’t doubt that she is now horrified by him. And I don’t think she had anything to do with SM’s disappearance. But she really seemed to be holding some things together there. Also, she may or may not have a drug problem or issue, but I don’t think she is making any of the stuff up about the weekend. MOO uneducated as it is! I have watched several seasons of Lie to Me (great show) but I’m not a forensic expert on facial expressions lol.

Yah, IDK. Nothing he does makes much sense to me.

PROBABLY BECAUSE HE IS A BULLY AND LIKE ALL GOOD BULLIES HE LIKES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE WHERE HE CAN BUT jp WOULD PROBABLY PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE SO HE WOULD NOT DEAL WITH ACTUAL CONFLICT BC jp WOULD MOST LIKELY KICK HIS BUTT. OOPS SORRY FOR ALL CAPS LOOKS LIKE i'M SCREAMING. But too lazy to change!

We don't know that it was TN that approached MG with the weird "hush money" statement.
The written article just says 2 men connected to BM, but in the video at about the 5:00 mark, LS says it was a M family member, and a friend of BM's.
Telling her they'd pay her but, they don't want to have it look like it's hush money, and that she has rights and doesn't have to give the CBI her phone.

Whoever these 2 men are, it certainly does sound like they were trying to encourage her NOT to cooperate with the investigation.

[DetectiveFoyleWannabe]

I'm so curious as to who the two individuals who approached her are...she must know who they are, right?

I think that info was from PE within the past 4-5 weeks. SM was messaging with her best friend about the wedding when all of a sudden the conversation abruptly stopped and the friend panic’d.

The impression I had was that now, she's afraid of him.
Not that she was afraid of him all along.

TN is not named in either the video or the written article you're referrencing.

There are several indications now that BM may have done something to SM Friday afternoon/night. He may have killed her, put her in the tool box on top of the tools and taken her to the Salida work site in the night. If he took her to the Salida work site and dragged a cooler or even her, weighted down, into the water there, that may be why he had MG working on the beach site, obliterating those signs. Is she in the water there or under one of those large boulders there on the beach. Did he have MG, unknowingly, fix the beach so no signs of activity would be noted by LE.
Has that water been thoroughly searched with sonar etc.?

Now, the only trouble with that theory is, how could she be active on SM until 12:30 Saturday?
Could someone else, a woman, have carried on SM's end of the conversation about wedding plans etc. since a woman may have been more convincing to SM. Could this be some of the help he had? MOO MOO MOO MOO.

Interesting theory - but I can't imagine any random person (man or woman) impersonating someone's best friend when they are talking about something as intimate as a wedding.... I still think the timeline for SM starts on Saturday afternoon (but I do think an argument started on Friday - and I think it was big - really big). We can only hope that SM shared whatever that argument was about with a close friend either Friday night or Saturday am. It's extremely doubtful she would have confided in either of her daughters, as they were out of town. JMO, MOO

Can we talk about the car selfie? It’s apparent that there are three people in the car, and Morgan and Jeff are two of them. Who’s the third? Was it taken that weekend? Barry has said this was the first time that Jeff worked for him. Car interiors are fairly easy to access on the web, you can do the 360 spin around. Distinctive window there on Jeff’s side.

 

[MsBetsy]

This isn't the same truck he was using when TD interviewed him.

Question: when BM pulled up at the scene of the bike, after LE had already been in his bleach-scented home, did Barry AND HIS TRUCK bed reek of chlorine?

JMO

If he did have a large toolbox in the back, maybe it was taken into evidence along with the truck.

I'm not sure what's significant about the car selfie.
We do know that it was a crew of 3, Morgan, JP and Cassidy, as this has been mentioned in the MSM already.
This person has declined interviews, and that's his right.

I think she means she is scared of him now. She said at one point that she had always respected him. It sounds like they got along fine until after his wife went missing and MG began cooperating with investigators. Imo
