Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #38

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed> unless Suzanne was working with abused women in some capacity, this is significant. I've also wondered if she ever suggested marriage counseling or counseling through their church and BM refused.

From same article:

The Denver Gazette

Law enforcement investigators told The Denver Gazette that her turquoise bike helmet was found nearby days later.

BBM

Did we know that?

Wow, what?!

Would a large quantity of liquid chlorine left open (which then turns into gas) be enough gas to knock someone unconscious?

Would the smell be so powerful that it would be noticeable 24 hours later?

they would smell it first if conscious - I do know that when I open the bucket of chlorine tabs and remove them from their wrapper - I have to hold my breath - it's very strong. I don't know if leaving a cap off would give enough fumes to do that. I do wonder though if bleach was thrown as a weapon similar to acid to incapacitate momentarily?

In the SM case, assuming that it's determined it's her husband who is the culprit to her murder and disappearance, I believe the motive will likely be two-fold: control and a financial motive. I think control of people and situations is a very big thing for BM and something that would bother him as much or maybe even more than money. IMO

So "abduction" to me doesn't align with a random person taking SM but that she was removed from her house, not under her own steam, and it occurred on Sat, and she was deceased when that occurred.

By BM himself or he was in the know. MOO

Perfect Post! Thank You @Megnut! We have to educate our “sisters”. So sad that 4 females a day die by the hands of their intimate partner!

#Justice4Suzanne

and MOST IMPORANT-
Teach your daughters not to tolerate mistreatment from their partners, boyfriends, husbands etc.
It's usually generational. And the abuse gets
passed down as being OK.
And teach your sons that it's not OK also.

I still can’t get on board with any bike ride, maybe a hike/walk. If they went out on bikes, he’d have two bikes to contend with, getting both his and hers back to the spot where he staged it and all in broad daylight. Too complicated. JMHO

Not sure bleach alone could do that, but if he had SM in a confined space and poured some ammonia in with the bleach left immediately and prevented her from getting out, it would likely incapacitate her very quickly.

 

[MsBetsy]

Thanks for clearing that up, @Megnut !
As I'd said, it didn't appear that LE thought there was any abduction.
That is a big typo for an article, if that's what happened.
Imo.

Abduction can also mean taking a person somewhere by means of "persuasion." Imo

so how would that fit with the abrupt end of the conversation with the friend - assuming it was at 8am ? come on a bike ride with me now? spill something that needs a bleach clean up ? they are on bikes riding and he rams her bike? I don't see this myself. considering he then picked up MG at 9am and they worked until 11am. all on saturday? I'm still thinking she was knocked out at 8am and there was blood - he put her in a cooler and then went to pick up MG - clean up began at 11am and then she was taken ___________and left or my alternative theory - in any case, I don't see a bike ride together Saturday morning.

It could be that at 8am he grabbed her by the arm, phone goes flying, and he says, “we’re going for a drive.” He drives her somewhere remote and gets her out and throws her right off a cliff. Goes home, gets bike, drives in opposite direction where she would ride and throws it down embankment. Remembers helmet, gets that too and throws it out somewhere, not really carefully planning why it wouldn’t be w/the bike. Also discards phone somewhere (having turned it off at home—last ping.)

 

[Deleted member 102539]

Exactly! It does make sense that she was killed somewhere else outside of the house or they probably would have had enough evidence already. If he took her somewhere in the mountains and killed her, that = premeditated!

I forget which poster has been speculating for a while now that he took her in the mountains and pushed her off a cliff. I think now that could be the case.

Pushing her of a cliff, I think, might be possible. But certainly not there, where he laid on the ground and whined about Suzanne. IMO

Yeah I think if he took her out of the house it was in a car.

I think if he's involved (assuming he is), whatever happened to SM was done by him and him alone.

Also, if he's charged I sincerely doubt any of the charges will include abduction unless there is proof SM was alive at the time she left her home, and to my knowledge, there is no such evidence, and it appears LE believes she was killed inside her house.

IMO

 

[Melsworld]

That would prove difficult, but I don’t think that’s what happened. They have a window of time in which Suzanne was likely dumped, and it is only 3.5 hours.

Even if that window proves false, I just don’t think he had that kind of time. I don’t think this was well planned, and I think it’s probable that he went with what he knew:

The vast expanse of unforgiving Colorado terrain.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she wasn’t even put in a shallow grave, but was dumped above ground.

This is what I believe too. I don't think he buried her but left her in the open so that mountain lion would get her.

 

[happyday]

Wow, what?!

Yep that is new info.

Yes - I think this may have been how it played out - something caused a bleach clean up though - IMO

I think control of people and situations is a very big thing for BM and something that would bother him as much or maybe even more than money. IMO

I also think we'll see a Chris Watts/Scott Peterson component in that there's the cheating element- another or multiple affairs
and SM wouldn't tolerate it anymore.

BM was done with his wife. In fact, I believe he held her in contempt and wanted her gone for
many reasons which LE is uncovering as we speak.
BM is just another common perp, not too much difference w/ him and the others we've followed. And in case studies on guys who murder their wives authorities mention over and over how these guys are all so similar.
We see it too on WS.
all MOO

bbm
Agreed.
Imo LE never looked at this as a stranger abduction.
Interesting that BM himself said Suzanne might've met (harm?) with someone known to her.
A slip of the tongue, BM ?
Who knows what he might have done, though ?
"Let's go for a drive, Suzanne. And talk this over."
Ugh.

 

[oviedo]

Wow, what?!

you may want to have a quick look at her media thread - AM is talking ...alot.

Yeah the bleach. Could be he was violent with her before he drug her to the car? Just enough he thought he needed to clean? I don’t know.

 

[kkdj]

Now that's an interesting thought! I have to assume LE went over that property with a fine tooth com & dogs, right?

What the search warrants allowed is my understanding.
Now, if BM isn't allowing the searchers on his property that's pretty interesting isn't it? He's at least hiding something imo.
