Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #39

[LietKynes]

More importantly, why is he towing the bobcat behind his truck????

Maybe he's afraid those invasive, uninvited, and troublesome volunteers searching for his wife will try to steal it ?
Yes it sounds very bizarre but I have no idea just how paranoid this BM is becoming.
So somewhat tongue in cheek.

And even if b.c. tracks are found --- wouldn't all bobcat tracks be about the same ?
So what's BM afraid of ?
Although heavy equipment tracks in a remote area where there'd be no reason for them existing -- should make him worry.
Tick, tock, BM.
Imo.

This looks to be the Colorado specialty firefighter license plate.

Yes, it does! Didn't TD say he recognized Barry the first day by the Indiana license plates on his truck? IMO

I just can't buy a murder-for-hire, as the whole point of that is so that the one doing the hiring has a bulletproof alibi. So between the fact that BM doesn't have a solid alibi AND the steps taken to seemingly muddy the timeline (staging the bike ride, FB messages, etc.), I think this is an extremely remote possibility..... MOO

I'm with you. I did consider the post and it is interesting. But he'd have the alibi covered 100%. That's one of the main reasons to involve someone else in the first place. If he did in fact engage in murder for hire and doesn't have a solid, impenetrable alibi, he deserves an extra 20 years for stupidity. (oh, and throw on another 10 for his wife beater shirt)

That's totally bananas!!! I'll bet it was BM.

I bet her daughters also have access.

BM is getting corned.

I think it was today, the aspen are turning so it's clearly fall.

IMO, the most productive searches need to happen before the leaves start to fall.

I don't know what that window of opportunity might be.

Thank you for the pictures NoSi! Stay safe! You're very ki

What if they find Suzanne and arrest BM the same day she's found and he goes to jail with no bond? Could AM then bring Suzanne home to IN to be buried there? I would think that could be done if she didn't specify where she wanted to be buried when she passed away. Gosh, that was awful to type. She should still be alive. So sad for her family and friends who loved her.

If there is no legal document or a will with specific instructions, I'm not sure how that would work. Being charged with a crime is not the same as being convicted, so I don't know if Suzanne's family would need his consent. Maybe one of the attorneys can answer that.

I can’t help but notice what the lower part of his truck (looks like it) says, below the license plate...

Even his own possessions are calling him out.

I've not been very good about keeping up on this thread.
Can you please direct me to the information about MG moving out of state? That is big, and telling.

It’s long been a social media rumor. Just came out in this DM article yesterday.

In an interview last week, Gentile, who has now relocated to South Dakota, confirmed the room stank of chlorine and added: 'I'm scared of Barry. I don't want to see him again, ever again.'

I’m not a fan of a scenario like this.

If you hire someone to kill your wife, then you make sure you have an alibi, as that’s the whole point. It negates the need to stage a bicycle, or move the timeline via deception.

Apparently Suzanne stopped communicating at 8am on Saturday morning. That tells me that she was either murdered Friday night (and Barry pretended to be her), or just before Barry left for the Salida job site (I believe Lauren said he arrived at 9).

The window that Barry is suspected of hiding Suzanne’s body, is allegedly 3.5 hours. That tells me there is unexplained activity on his part, or he suspiciously dropped off the grid for a period of time. So it looks like he’s connected to the dumping of the body.

This whole thing looks to me like the act of one man, who not only doesn’t know anything about how crimes are committed, but was likely in a panic as well.

I think he got one thing right, and that’s why we haven’t seen charges thus far. He was able to effectively conceal Suzanne’s body.

If he did have any help, I think it was after the fact. I don’t think it was necessary though.

I think this drug stuff is a red herring. I think he’s the killer.

BBM.
How the heck did he pull that off ?
You posted earlier that when he was defending his property, it was just that. Control. No fear that they would find her body.
I agree with you on that.
He seems, IMO, quite confident that this "publicity stunt" won't amount to anything.
Worrisome.
Where is she?
MOO.

In my state your current spouse is next of kin and would control pick up of body/remains, Burial/ cremation - and this can be done over the phone with a credit card - just call the funeral home and provide the information and a credit card and proceed from there - we are Currently handling a probate and the decedent has no spouse but left a trust and the trustee presented the original trust to the funeral home and they arranged getting the body from coroner and cremation from there - didn’t have to provide proof of relationship either - Just that trust and their ID- I found that interesting - even under arrest I think the spouse would control but I don’t know CO law

ITA - I think after he did the deed and reality struck him HARD, he cried about it first and then went into panic, sloppy-cover up mode.

IMO At that point, I could see him reaching out to a couple of buds in a franctic state and in their tested loyalty to him, feeling sorry for him, they reacted by helping not only dispose of her body (because let’s say one bud has a military background and experience with the lay of the land) but also attempt to tighten an alibi (because let’s say the other bud is good with PR and pushing a narrative). Everyone had a role to follow through on at that point.

I agree and will add that if Barry is as much of a control freak as has been stated, I don’t feel he would trust anyone enough to relinquish any aspect of that control. I think this was 100% Barry’s plan and he will pay 100% of the price.

How far from Puma Path?

Great Pictures @NoSI

Keep 'em coming as you find time.

That particular photo reminded me of something I havent seen since skiing at Vail many years ago. See that tall peak way off in the distance on the far left side shrouded in clouds? Not the main one but that peak you can barely see on far left side.

When you are on the tops of certain peaks in Colorado you can literally see for hundreds of miles to the next peak off in the distance. I sure miss views like that.

Stay safe NoSI and thanks so much for sharing with us.

Appearing confident doesn’t necessarily mean that he is confident, so I’m not reading anything into that. I remember people actually saying that Letecia Stauch seemed confident when she proclaimed that Gannon would be coming home. We all know how that turned out.

Getting rid of a body in the vast expanse of Colorado wilderness, is not some amazing feat. I think he was smart enough to turn his phone off, and the vehicle location information (for some reason) hasn’t allowed LE to pinpoint where Suzanne is.

So luck and circumstance may have been in his favor in that regard. Here’s to hoping that luck runs out.

IANAL - The estate of anyone that passes away without a legal Will goes to a State Probate Court.

If SM has a valid Will, I would think the possibility of criminal actions would at least pause or invalidate the direction of that Will. IMO

"Intestate refers to dying without a legal will. When a person dies in intestacy, determining the distribution of the deceased's assets then becomes the responsibility of a probate court. An intestate estate is also one in which the will presented to the court was deemed to be invalid."

Seriously! So telling IMO!

Another member mentioned it, and it is mentioned in this article. Businesses near Suzanne Morphew's husband's hotel share CCTV | Daily Mail Online

other articles from Daily Mail have been linked in this case, so I thought they were approved. If not I will look for another source and correct as needed!

The DM is indeed an approved source.
Thank you for providing the link to clear that up.

He’s certainly created quite the “look here - not there” scenario with all his actions- I think he acted alone but I do think he may have confided in someone close to him in veiled terms to solicit some advice on what to do - I feel he’s quite certain she won’t be found and this could be the one area he got right ...
IMO
