Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #36

[Hatfield]

I agree, but still think there's something else odd about the bike which hasn't been disclosed. Something that appears to have been tampered with maybe.

I agree.

When BM was talking with TD, it sounded to me that BM felt there is something about the position of the bike that he assumed anyone seeing it would automatically assume she was attacked or abducted while on a bike ride. I think it may have been simply the front tire pointing back up toward the road.

Unfortunately for BM, its not just the position of the bike but the entire situation going back to at least Saturday and maybe even Friday that becomes very important in cases like this.

LS has been unsuccessful in interviewing BM's friend GD. She did speak with his wife and daughter. GD was on a hunting trip.

PE guy CM says BM was elk hunting.

You can't make this up.

JMO

and was TN their caddy, carrying their guns?

I'm pretty sure the caddy was OJ. He may have taken a day off from searching the golf course! MOO

As someone who just lost her brother to colon cancer a month ago, I can attest to it not being unusual at all that she shared with her brother or that he asked about it in the manner described above. I read up on everything that could help my brother, and the first thing that almost everybody suggests when you're struggling with the side effects of chemo is medical marijuana. Depression is very common with cancer, I think it's a side effect of what your body is going through. There was nothing I would not have suggested or asked my brother about whether he had tried if I thought it had any chance of helping him or alleviating his suffering.

I am sorry about the loss of your brother.

I think she also said she only saw him there once, and it was Suzanne's daughter who always went with her to treatments.

She was supposed to go to her last appointment on Monday. I wonder why BM never mentioned that, especially in the beginning when there was speculation about her going off on her own and possible suicide. One of the first things I would expect him to say is that there was no way his wife would have done that.

I believe you are correct that the friend said he only went once to a chemo appointment. It is odd that he didn’t mention an appointment she had for the very next day. Maybe he didn’t want anyone to have an excessive amount of sympathy for her.

I'm trying to recall when BM has ever expressed any sympathy for her. I'm drawing a blank. Moo

 

[LietKynes]

I guarantee you, no one saw Suzanne Morphew on Sunday. I feel very confident making that absolute statement.

We also have no camera footage of her in a public place on Sunday.
Never mind about the Morphew's home security cameras.
But I'd bet that LE know what's on the footage, at least until the cams were turned off.
MOO

So great that the heat is mounting for him. Surely he is about to crack.

Can they search the Morphew property without consent from BM? I’d have thought not. This may have already been discussed. I have 20-odd pages of catching up to do.

They (LE) can, with a warrant.
That would override any objections from BM.
As far as I understand that process ?
From following cases here at WS and in the news.

It’s been about two weeks since I checked in here and it seems like I have missed some recent happenings that seem important and cannot put everything together just reading the posts, so I will ask this:
1) If I watch the video of Tricia’s interview with Lauren Scharf(?) will that get me up to speed?
2) Is there a feeling that something is getting ready to break in this case?
Sorry for being behind. I obviously need to check in more often.

Please see the Fox 21 News article by Lauren Scharf and Sarah Hempelman at the link provided. SM's presumed appointment was for Monday May 18, 2020. I believe that to be true.
Also, this is the sole source of the information that BM did not support her during this time. The exact quote is:
" Her daughters (one or both) would always be with her for her treatments. I saw Barry come in once, he was not overly friendly and seemed to be uncomfortable there. That is not unusual as it’s often hard for loved ones to be there."
IMO

At this point, I'm willing to give TN the benefit of the doubt. I think he may have been buying what BM was selling, until maybe after the encounter with MG. Maybe then it hit him, this is not what BM is saying it is, and he backed far away from it. This also could have included a chat with LE.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Yup, me too.
Somehow I picture TN the big boy Groupie, he wants to seem important and involved and has
just gone along with the real big boys UNTIL
LE laid it out to him what's coming if things don't change real quick.
He got the message, IMO.

 

[LietKynes]

None of Saturday matters, if two independent witnesses saw her Sunday. I<modsnip> he has at least one witness for that time slot.........JP has already testified that during the middle of it, he saw BM in town, shopping for himself. IMO

Actually my friend I think that Saturday is very important.

It may well have been Suzanne's last day on earth.
If the timing of the texting and sudden silence is correct.

It's also possible that BM told JP he was shopping, and JP was supposed to just believe it.
Considering how BM has treated his employees, we may never know the truth without security footage from the stores.

Which time slot, Sunday or Sat. ?

Theory :
IF BM was out Sunday, shopping --that means he was at a store on Sunday and doesn't mean Suzanne was seen by anyone on Sun.
And was BM shopping for himself ?
What was he buying ?
And why shop for his own needs alone ?
Was there no wife to shop for or pick up a coffee, or whatever ?

Speculation : And if the two witnesses who say they saw Suzanne on Sun. were the same two who approached BM's employee, MG ---then there is a major problem with this 'sighting'.
Even if this is not the case, why didn't BM make these people publicly known in order to clear himself ?
I think we know.
I'm sensing a close-knit little bunch who are in a major CYA mode.
Or just misplaced loyalty ?
If BM has 'dirt' on certain types of people, they may not want all of their deeds exposed to the light.
MOO

 

[JosieMae]

I suspect what they are allegedly speaking of is not meth because of his bulked up body. But I’m admittedly not an expert in the field

That's my take - steroids. Illicit drug use would be out of the question for a first-responder. I'm certain routine drug tests are required, even for volunteer firefighters.

 

[TxGidget]

Does this in any way relate to LE’s statement about last contact being later than was previously thought?

I think yes.

 

[LietKynes]

Can we redirect the narrative, more accurately reflect the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and increase the VOLUME in this case by changing the TITLE of this forum to:

Suzanne Morphew, 49 DISAPPEARED
after ABRUPTLY ending a social media conversation at 2:30 pm,

Snipped for focus.

Agreed I think the bike ride could be left off the thread title.
But oh well.
Many commenters here and elsewhere no longer buy the bike ride lie being touted by BM.
Imo.

 

[LietKynes]

BM seems to create a new lie or narrative at every opportunity to see what sticks.

Can you imagine the 30 hours of FBI interviews? What a train wreck those must be.

Agreed !
And imo BM gave the FBI a lot less time than 30 hours.
At some point I'd imagine he jumped out and huffed out of there.
Not sure but they may have asked some personal questions about Suzanne wanting out or whatever.
MOO

BM must be related to Gannon’ step-monster, LS.

 

[LietKynes]

When BM was telling TD about having the girls arriving home late in the day and the plan was to all be together that evening it sounded like he had the conversation with Suzanne about going to Denver that morning.

If it happened the day before, if they really ever discussed it, that may be the last conversation they had. I can't imagine that he would have forgotten what her last words were. As you said, he would likely be going over and over in his mind everything that was said between them before she went missing.

I wonder why he had no reply. Was it too uncomfortable for him to reveal what Suzanne said to him? Would it have been incriminating? Did they argue? Would it have made him feel guilty repeating what her last words were to him?

And why not say who the two people were who saw her on Sunday, or at least where? What harm could it do to the investigation, since according to him, LE already messed it up and are embarrassed so they are blaming him? Wouldn't it be to his benefit to provide more details as to where she was seen and at what time? And if she was seen on Sunday, why not answer his call in the morning or her daughters call? Didn't she have her phone with her?

I can't see any reason for him to be so vague, unless he's hiding something and doesn't want to answer truthfully.

bbm
Bingo.

To not answer her daughters' calls nor their texts is damning for BM, imo.
And we don't know if LE even has Suzanne's phone.
I'm thinking they do not.
Too incriminating.
Again my .02.

On a personal note about this, my ex son in law has seriously drug issues. That is his drug of choice. Between his binges when he's incarcerated or on probation he bulks up. It seems like it's a compulsive issue and one takes over when the other ends. It's been 25 years and still going back and forth between full blown addiction and bulking up. Addiction is a terrible issue. Just some personal perspective. moo

Ita.
Or it was not in a rideable condition and was in need of major repairs ?
Oh, BM.
What have you done ?
Imo.

1- NO
2- NO
There's just so many tidbits we've heard and little nuances being discussed that the LS interviews helps to fill in some blanks but you still need to follow along in the narrative.

I haven't heard anything to suggest an arrest is imminent. That may be intentional though, so who knows.
all MOO.
