Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #43

[al66pine]

Ugg, reminds me of missing Stacey Peterson, wife of Drew Peterson (who is currently serving time in prison for murdering another wife). Drew Peterson has stated that Stacey is somewhere in her bikini with another man.

@lonetraveler bbm
Maybe Stacey is not w a man, but in Bullhead City taking a cool dip in the water, w Barbara Thomas in her black bikini? j/k.

Human remains found in Saguache County - KRDO

I understand that the article is reporting that they don't think this body is related to Suzanne Morphew but isn't it odd that they are conducting an autopsy? These remains surely haven't been there too terribly long if they're able to perform an autopsy. MOO

The northern part of Sagauche County is extremely close to Salida & Mayesville. Sagauche County also has a lot of Elk hunting opportunity as it’s mostly public land. This story is worth watching imo.

@OldCop & @Topppps -I’d love to get your take on this southern location as you both have had really good thoughts on the terrain and how BM could navigate it in commuting this crime.

Why Primarily/Only Men & FB?
Lyanna Thx for your post, prompting me to wonder about this. I know some aspects of this have been discussed by our more tech-centric members, so for my post here, first, a major, ginormous, behemoth caveat:
I haven't the least idea about FB or its algorithms, so talking out the wazoo.

Seems any one wanting to locate classmates/friends from high school 30+ yrs after graduation would find it easier to recognize/track males (less likely to have changed their last names) than females who may have changed last names one or more times. Regardless of whether who is using SM's FB.
If FB user clicked on primarily/only male names, causing FB's algorithm to generate whatever messages
[suggestions/communications?] FB sent in this case from imposter-SM using SM's log-in?

Does that make even one molecule of tech-sense, to explain why FB-generated activity related to primarily/only males?

[Runs away to dodge tomatoes, while techies here do face palm and eye roll. ]

Thank you @al66pine - that helps . I am really not that tech clever and tend to scroll and roll when there is tech talk/chat

This is the whole case in a nutshell, not meaning to ruffle anyone’s feathers, but we’ve had many threads now, dissecting BM, really based a lot on our own experiences.
This interview with BMs friend from childhood should be given much more bearing than our own life experiences. JMVHO
This man knew the whole family well, more than any of us. He refutes much of our speculation, even before we speculate.

I find him believable, I think we could all wish to have friends from childhood, that in itself shows a personality who is worth a continuing friendship.

He isn’t trying to cover up BMs guilt, oh no, he’s just making his personal assessment, from his point of view, someone who truly knew BM and the family...

This is my interpretation MOO

This statement by BM’s friend is definitely not the case in a nutshell. You are completely disregarding the lies he has told, conflicting timelines, the statement by AM (a long time extended family member) that he believes BM murdered his sister.

My opinion about BM is not based on my own life experiences as I’ve never had a relationship with a person like I perceive him to be.

I’m interested in their opinions too. It doesn’t seem to be out of the realm of possibility if BM had the use of an older vehicle. He could get there and back in a few hours. Is there any hunting areas in Saguache County? Or if he had an accomplice they could have known about that mine. It would be smart to hide her body in the opposite direction of Denver and south of the home. If KR didn’t go missing from Crestone in 2016 then I would have more hope it could be Suzanne. But Crestone is right there and it sounds like KR was involved in some behavior that would make her a high risk victim. A mine or body of water would be a good hiding place. I wonder how many mines were able to be searched. Did they ever get the cameras and equipment they needed? Andy talked about being way deep inside a cave or tunnel when his flashlight went out. I wondered if that was a mine he was in? Sounded scary!

I'm not certain this kind lady went into the house. But IMO, even if she didn't initially think something was out of order, I'm certain LE went back to her and questioned her several times.

Example; hey when you went to the house did you smell a strong odor of bleach?

The questions she was being asked would indicate LE suspected something wasn't right, JMO. In addition they probably asked her not to talk to the media.

For clarity, I recall that the neighbor that called 911 on May 10, is NOT the person that went back and forth to the Morphew residence checking for cars and bikes while talking to BM. This information about a woman moving back and forth between Morphews and her landline to talk with BM came later from Fox21 LS report and when asked, LS stated that the person she interviewed was NOT the same person that called 911 (JR) and she could not name the person.

MOO ~ If this were a crime of passion, he would have confessed by now, and if a good "Christian" he would have long since repented and sought forgiveness. I believe this to be a premeditated, yet chaotic event, planned and carried out, albeit with haste and a narcissist's brain. As this has unfolded, it is apparent that he didn't cover ALL of his tracks. A narcissist blames everyone else. They are also VERY controlling. That's their MO ~ I know that the investigators will prevail. I hope that they scour archived satellite imagery. I once watched a TED talk about a "space archaeologist" that was using satellite imagery with the publics' help to discover trademark image characteristics of tomb looting. It seems that this type of public scouring of images could help LE and the FBI. If the public were given hundreds of thousands of images over the time period of May 8-11th...we could scour the images for changes, for bobcat, dirtbikes, trucks, etc. .... thought this post was lost, so posted another with the satellite imagery piece.... and if anyone else was guilty or complicit with this disappearance/crime, perhaps satellite imagery a la planet.com would be helpful? all MOO

I'm an emergency nurse practitioner that always wanted to be an investigator, lol Truly wish i had time to keep up on every detail of this case...

BBM.
What an exciting and wonderful profession!
From an old Shock Trauma nurse. Like in the dinosaur age.LOL
MOO.

Even more interesting. If Barry's Mom, sister and the girls were expected to be back at the home on Sunday. It would put a time crunch on anything he had to do to get rid of evidence and make everything at the home appear normal. Maybe Suzanne threatened to tell his Mom & Sister whatever she had discovered?

But on the flip side. If all the women, including his Mom would be at his house to celebrate Mother's Day. Why would he make arrangements to be out of town working for a few days?

What evidence is there that BM's mom and sister would be at his home for Mother's Day. That makes no sense for BM to ask his wife if it's OK for him to go set up a job if his own mother & sister are in town or expected to be in town. BM alleged SM could spend time with her daughters heading home from ID. We know that BM's mom was in Salida late May when she appeared in Tyson's video but not before. MOO

 

[Synergizer Bunny]

...the main thing that leads me to believe he is responsible for her disappearance...is how little he has done for Suzanne since she has disappeared, he should be her voice and speaking for her - yet he doesn't even show his own face - he thought Suzanne was worth 26 seconds of his time when she gave him nearly 3 decades of hers...

I agree and think that it is especially telling when a national show like "Dr. Phil" asks you to be on the show and even extends an invitation at the end of the show should you change your mind. Yet, you refuse the offer.

Who wouldn't jump at this opportunity...other than Scott Peterson or BM??!! Even Scott bowed to pressure and pretended. I guess Barry doesn't even have the courage to pretend.

I absolutely agree with you. Off 285 south of Salida.

 

[paul onions]

That very well could be, but why was BM acting strange to MG on Saturday morning at the beach site? Banging my head against the wall trying to figure the timeline out.

My specula

I mentioned this the other day on here. One attachment for a bobcat is an auger which, with an extra attachment, can dig a hole 15 inches wide 10 feet deep within minutes. Using a bobcat with a standard bucket would take quite a while to dig even a five foot trench. By the way, it requires doing a mechanical thingy to attach an auger to a bobcat (I've just rented them a few times for tree planting).

i saw this the first time you posted this, and it still makes my blood run cold. If that kind of attachment was used, she will never be found.

I agree they must have been good friends.

I imagine prisons everywhere hold countless killers whose friends would never have believed it of them.

"I consider that question to be Barry's attempt to manipulate Lauren and reel her in to his side. If she believes in God, she will believe his ridiculous explanations.

He has just told Lauren, “This is the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me,” Barry said. “But I have got to keep my faith and trust in God. And Suzanne trusted the Lord and if one person got saved from this, she would think it was worth it. And we are just a Godly, loving, caring, family and this thing is just a tragedy.”

More of what others have pointed out as his "Christian Persona". JMO"

Just thinking out loud... Could BM's questioning about believing in God be some sort of veiled threat to LS? Like if LS were to betray BM by releasing info that she agreed not to, then LS would be breaking her word and lying is not looked kindly upon by God? IMO

Word salad. Mumbo jumbo, IMO.

Except we have to think about all of the rock. Would that attachment be
able to go through rock?

Yikes.
Where did you see this?
Certainly changes the dynamics.
Was it one of the daughters?
Her friend from Indiana?

 

[DizzyB]

If Barry had said: I would love to talk about my wife and my search for her, and I would love to be out there with all these people who have given their time and resources to help find Suzanne, but my lawyer is telling me I can’t participate-I might be able to at least try to give him the benefit of the doubt. It’s not just that he’s unlikeable-it’s that he has not expressed in any way that he loved or cared about Suzanne. 26 seconds. Did he think the searchers were looking for evidence against him, or looking for his wife? How could he not thank them for their efforts? Why does he insist on making himself appear guilty? Wouldn’t the love of his life want the world to see the side 0f this man that she supposedly loved? He just doesn’t care.

My opinion about BM is not based on my own life experiences as I’ve never had a relationship with a person like I perceive him to be.

I promised myself I wouldn't look, as I have so many times, but I did so
Not that I don't think TS is sincere, he is.

But why haven't we heard that same accounting from one girl friend of this lovely lady who was well known, popular, lived in the same community and participated with the same church group her entire adult life. Suzanne had a ton of friends. We haven't heard from one friend of Suzanne's. In my experience I have found my women friends and relatives are usually more aware of the dynamics in relationships, that said, not one woman friend is singing Barry's praises. Hmmmmm....

ETA...not even with a disclaimer, eg. He was a really hard worker , a little controlling, but -or- He seemed like he was a great husband, nice couple, always though Suzanne was happy, I could be wrong...

 

[Feistyomi]

ita agree that he knows the family well and far better than any of us here. But, people can and do change, people can commit the most heinous of things and their loved ones and friends could never have imagined it.
Maybe Barry never had any intention of causing harm to Suzanne, maybe it was a tragic accident, maybe he truly has nothing to do with her disappearance - but the main thing that leads me to believe he is responsible for her disappearance apart from his slightly sketchy story, the reported sketchy behaviour as well as many other things, is how little he has done for Suzanne since she has disappeared, he should be her voice and speaking for her - yet he doesn't even show his own face - he thought Suzanne was worth 26 seconds of his time when she gave him nearly 3 decades of hers.

I respect your thoughts and opinions, I enjoy reading your posts and seeing how you look at things, I wish I could see all the possibilities that you see - but I just can't.

IMO, it is quite possible that BM has known that SM has been dead, and the futility of finding her body, almost from the beginning, and he knows who killed her. he has been going thru the steps of dealing with this death in the public eye, while also trying to be patient with LE, as they build a solid case.
Heck, we’re impatient, I would be beside myself.
He’s also dealing with all sorts of personal attacks, and some are even indirectly smearing his wife’s memory.

yet he really can’t defend himself without accusing someone. I found a real interesting bit of info in one of AMs recent interviews.
Something BM said.

My speculation, based on my lifetime experiences...

Barry does not strike me as the type who has a problem accusing anyone. He has accused the police of mishandling the case, he has said his workers were meth heads and not to be believed. He said his brother in law was staging a publicity stunt.

I have not seen anyone smearing his wife’s memory, indirectly or otherwise. There is one takeaway from all media coverage-Everybody loved Suzanne.
