Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #50

[PaulaDC]

Incredibly, but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as damning as having video proof of Suzanne’s death.

I'm thinking early home lockdown.

 

[Momofthreeboys]

If I remember correctly, Andy said Suzanne was texting with her friend all afternoon until 9 or 9:30 pm. He then changed the time to 8 or 8:30 a.m.

There is a time difference between Colorado and Indiana which may contribute to the suggested times changing.

Throw the time zone discrepencies into the same mix of 3 different time frames that have been in the MSM about this chat with the friend, and we have exactly zero realistic idea of when it actually happened.

You're absolutely right.

Thanks for digging up all this info, @al66pine. I couldn’t help but noticing the webcam map page. Too bad, to my knowledge, CDOT cameras don’t record or LE would know exactly when BM headed north to Broomfield on 285N, when he went to the Salida dig site east of town off 50E, probably could have seen him turning towards the Poncha Market, 285S, on Tuesday, the 12th and maybe Saturday, the 9th. What also stands out to me is that there’s no webcam heading west on 50 from Puma Path to Monarch Pass. There are a few businesses, but it would be interesting to know if BM headed that way at all.
It would have been nice if LE could have been able to calculate the times between webcams to see if he made stops along the way.
Hopefully cell and vehicle info has given them this information.

When what happened?

 

[mom2chloe]

I wonder if BM was privy to knowledge that the CDOT cameras were not recording since he is a volunteer firefighter. Would he have had this inside information? IMO

 

[al66pine]

When what happened?

@Minordetails.
When on Sat. Mo's Day wk-end, SM and her IN friend (the one whose son or dau was getting married, we think on Sun) were talking on phone, and/or FaceTimeing and/or other online app's w faces visible, or otherwise communicating w ea other. And when their communications stopped.

As others have commented, in some homicide cases. a perp was shown to have used phone, email or other online communication apps of the deceased to try to emulate the deceased, which can throw off time of death and location of the deceased.
Can sometimes work, at least for a while, if perp's face is not visible and if perp can accurately imitate deceased's writing style, etc.

Your case archives are such valuable resources, and I always appreciate very much the continuous work you do on them, and that you share them with all of us
Thank you!

Good question.
I'm still on the fence about premeditation.

I think nearly all residents of the area would be aware.

I live near a mountain pass and many folks check the Dept of Transportation cameras to know if our pass is icy or snowy. In our area we get one still photo per hour, no video.

IMO locals would be well aware of what kind of data their cameras provide -- live video, archive video, still photos only, etc.

MOO

That was my thought also. The Web cams refresh every x minutes in around this area I am pretty sure so don’t know if they have value. They don’t stream I don’t think until you get to the outskirts of Denver.

Wow, thanks, @al66pine! I love maps & such. Great sleuthing to get those for us!
Those lots look like wonderful places to live. SMH.

 

[Ontario Mom]

When what happened?

In the context of this specific event being discussed, the "what" would be the alleged convo with the best friend online, the day prior to SM being reported missing. I believe we've seen 3 completely different time frames for when this Saturday convo occurred, along with the time zone diff between IN and CO.

 

[borndem]

Andy did say on Dr. Phil, that Suzanne and Barry were spotted in town getting sandwiches at around 4pm on Saturday.

That formed at least part of his reasoning for his theory that she was murdered in the hours after that.

What we do not know though, is where this information came from, and if it is in fact accurate. Earlier in this case we had information as to Suzanne’s last communications with a friend, but the timing of those communications changed on multiple occasions.

So I’m skeptical as to the sandwich story.

Suzanne Morphew’s brother shares new details about her last known sighting and strange activity on his sister’s Facebook page hours before she was reported missing

Hmmmm, interesting reading -- I may have read it back in October, but it's still thought-provoking, isn't it?
Thanks for posting!

Oh, this thing is so, so sad.

Hmmm. Interesting. Good thing for him to know, I must say. Why would he have needed to be informed on that? Hmmmm.

MOO the CDOT road condition cameras not streaming public knowledge.
