Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #51

Interesting. That seems like it should be a straightforward answer, yet it wasn’t.
Hmmm....

If it was on a trial yes, it would be an straightforward answer, but saying yes would highly suggest a motive for BM to have killed Suzanne and since he's not even a POI it'd be unprofessional of her to just throw it out there. IMO.

I wonder if BM had a handheld device for his volunteer fireman job that had gps on it and can that information be extracted from the main software that the fire station uses? Just thinking outside the box.

 

[Tumbleweed]

So I think there is new info starting around 2:40? LS said that MG told her that GD and TN asked MG if she was having an affair with BM.

That seems different to me than what was said before (GD and TN talking about hush hush money and maybe threatening to not pay her.) Were they trying to find out if BM was having an affair?

Also, kinda interesting that the only thing that GD would say about that conversation was that MG was a nice lady as MG had nothing bad to say about BM.

You make great points! He very well could’ve tried this before if he is guilty . My honest thoughts on this whole case is he came home and she was talking on social media and he saw something he didn’t like and maybe just flipped out and it just went downhill from there. That has just always kind of been what I thought happened I don’t think it was something he planned. I could be completely wrong though about everything.

In the video interview Old Cop posted, AM stated his family hasn't had contact with his nieces and wished to reach out to them. Ouchie.

Who does that benefit? Is that considered a control point?

In the IG Influencer Alexis Sharkey homicide, the killer left her feet on the road when depositing her lifeless body so that bad person probably wanted her found soon. That is not the instance in Suzanne's disappearance. If only she'd been found near her bicycle.

Riding curves downhill in those mountains on a light bike and you will fly. She may have been a novice but discovering the power of downhill cycling would be learned quickly. Why did the braking system need to be repaired?

AM emphasized BMs highly skilled in tracking and hunting. I suppose these facts could become an import part of the mysterious disappearance of SM.

 

[Momofthreeboys]

Yeah, the hesitation and the dodging, IMO, make it pretty obvious it's likely a yes answer to that question.

I do not hear it that way. The way I perceived it was they were aware of rumors but would not discuss the possibility until they had confirmation from a reliable source.

My husband is both a career fireman as well as a volunteer one. To my knowledge neither one provides anything GPS related. His gear and radio have certain distress alarms (for example the dreaded mayday call) that could help search and rescue find him in a collapse. Those alarms are sound based, however, not gps based. The volunteer company uses some sort of app alert to notify members of calls, as well as a fire siren. Perhaps the app collects data, but that is way over my head.

Interesting. That seems like it should be a straightforward answer, yet it wasn’t.
Hmmm....

Yep, it should be straightforward if they checked it out.

The other option is if BM has a girlfriend she maybe became his girlfriend only recently and might have nothing to do with the case, therefor MK and LS wouldn’t want to cause problems for her.

Or they couldn’t verify it yet, only are hearing about through the grapevine, so it would be irresponsible to confirm it, but they can’t say no because of the rumors.

It does indeed seems like new information and it doesn’t seem to me as those conversations couldn’t have happened both.
If they were really sent to convince MG not to talk or give her phone to LE, it might have been natural for them to be curious about if BM and MG had something going on.

It’s a given too that LS has a lot more info from all those interviews than she divulged in her videos.

This is entirely possible too, since there are more rumors flying around about this case than anyone can shake a stick at.

So tonight we get to view a new Barry Morphew interview and call video. I’m looking forward to hearing it. It should inject some new life back into this thread.

Thank you for the reminder! I do hope it brings new information to SM’s case. This lovely woman needs to be found, although I’m losing hope that she will ever be located.

Re the latest PE video:
1). MG still has some of the tools BM left in the hotel room?!?!
2). GD and TN “sizing up” MG. This was allegedly Tuesday, 5/12, when MG, JP, and CC got back from Broomfield. I think TN was starting to have some doubts about BM. He dropped out of the picture the following week after initially starting out as the family spokesman and overseer of the GF account. He did not refer to BM by name, only as “the husband”. That was probably at BM’s request, (demand) which TN might have found strange. TN was also telling the public to pressure LE about the condition of the bike. I think TN may have been uncomfortable about approaching MG in Salida that day.
3) GD also saw the bike being pulled up from where it was found? LS originally said after her interview with GD that he had received a call from another FF telling him that the bike had been found. GD said he then called BM. BM said, “You’ve heard?” “Are you heading over there?” GD then went to the location. LS said that GD was the third person to see the bike being raised. Who was the third person? If they were raising it when GD got there, I would guess they had at least 10-15 minutes to photograph, finger print, and otherwise document/examine it before bringing it up. We don’t know who spotted it or found it or how long afterwards it was that some of BM’s friends began arriving at the scene.
4). I wish MK had pressed LS a little more about the Broomfield hotel. She seemed to be careful about saying when/how long she thought BM was there. Instead of saying Sunday, she would say Mother’s Day weekend. I think she probably knows when that room was reserved but may have been asked by LE to not publicize it at this time.
MOO

Could someone please explain to me how LS could jeopardize the investigation by sharing a piece of information with the public that she has uncovered, and is proven to be true? For example, let’s say LS knows when the Broomfield room was reserved? What’s the big deal? She knows, LE knows, and Barry knows when the room was booked. Us knowing the truth, doesn’t alter truth or change fact.

LE often holds back pieces of information on a case. Doing so helps weed out false confessions and can catch perpetrators in lies. Sometimes suspects change their stories based on what they find out LE knows. Leticia Stauch, Gannon Stauch’s stepmother, was a perfect example of that. Every time a bit of information came out she had a new answer for it.
BM proclaimed he did nothing wrong at that hotel. Maybe he didn’t. But maybe he thinks he is smarter than LE and pulled something over on them. We already know he “forgot” a time when he was doing a mechanical thing on his Bobcat.

But all the backup of a backup of a backup story made less and less sense in Letecia's case, you can equally say that by sharing what you know and the perpetrator knows is 100% true to the community, they'll try to twist it and they'll get caught in a lie, almost guaranteed.
