Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #53

[Birmingplumb]

This scenario is a bit far-fetched. First of all, the wall job site is in a completely different jurisdiction from the location where Suzanne went missing. Secondly, being jailed for violating building ordinances isn't realistic. A citation with a fine is more likely.

YES you hit it right---but absent any other ideas how to get him ...best I got. They would have to expose the misdeeds to public (their city does not follow the rules on grants-and their buddy contractors would be exposed and maybe they would have started singing about kickbacks...who know what would develop...maybe someone would sing who knows something to get lighter sentence my hope was.. Guess we will never know since the absence of following state laws bidding on state money jobs was covered up in my opinion ...to protect the buddies at city hall and their kids working there who ....fill in the blank...

I think it's a reasonable presumption to say that if they had the evidence he murdered Suzanne, they'd have already arrested him.

Well my presumption is they may be being too conservative. A jury would likely convict him. I think DA wants to wait until snow melts and search longer. i think she’s deep in a shaft mine and will not be found

MOO A mineshaft sounds like decomp wild carry in the daily air transer, able to be detected for a long time by a dog.
But with the vast amount of territory and time available to conceal, I also think it unlikely she will be found.

there’s a friend that she texted a lot and talked to, that she confided in, and maybe things weren’t hunky dory” in the marriage, Moormon said, according to the report.

Sorry! Have no idea how to bring forward from media thread and this isn't full quote
There is a report where Andy Moorman stated Suzanne had become friendly with someone and was confiding in them, made me think about LE's request for anyone that Suzanne had been in contact with via social media apps, cos LE's request for that info was quite a bit later on(iirc) than when this was reported (August time). If the 2 bits of info are related, did LE have knowledge of this friend but couldn't identify them and shared this info with Andy in the hope he might know, or did Andy find this out and let LE know? If the latter, who could have told Andy? Someone during the time he searched for Suzanne? Why tell Andy and not LE?

MOO The one she was known to have confided in may have known SM had another confidant as well, but not who they were.

Yes, I imagine she would share with her closest friend that she did have someone nearer to where she lived to confide in - I do wonder why she wouldn't share the name though?
I do think there's the chance Suzanne may have been involved with support groups in some way and she maybe communicated with them during the pandemic with these apps.
If an individual was a victim of DV/abuse and using encrypted apps, then suddenly disappeared without a trace, would these support groups not be able to share info with LE in this situation or would that be against the law/ GDPR etc?

Would it be possible to find a reason for the Feds to access and determine whether any of the mine shafts have been breached or tampered with? If I had experience with mine shafts I would certainly be looking into it. Legally with permits and stuff unlike BM. IMO

 

[mom2chloe]

Also if you disposed of a body on a federally abandoned mine site would that constitute a Federal crime? If so that would be a big bonus. IMO

There were 1,000 mineshafts in the desert surrounding the Marine Base Erin Corwin disappeared from. SBCSO brought in Doug Billings to search for her- long story short, he found her in a mine called The Rose of Peru. Does that part of Colorado have a Doug Billings to call on?

Erin's case was a excellent example of LE's dedication and perseverance to finding a murder victim. I'll never forget her case.

I also had the same thought at the very beginning, because my brother was fighting a very painful and debilitating battle with cancer at the time, but if you follow this case you know that Suzanne was scheduled for her very last treatment the Monday after she disappeared which makes this even more heartbreaking, that she beat cancer only to go missing. My strong suspicion is that after going through all this and coming out the other side, she had reevaluated her life and her marriage, and that she had told her husband she was moving on. And then like many other women, became a victim of the most dangerous time, when women are leaving their partners. The motive being both financial as well as just narcissistic ego.

Thanks for filling me in. I didn’t realize she was scheduled for her last treatment. That’s so sad.

 

[Skillz]

IMO, I agree with your thinking on this. I understand that SM is a very strong Christian woman and I would suspect that she would not allow herself to do that. But I personally do not know SM, just my opinion.

Good point there. Thank you.

 

[Skillz]

SM had just received news her cancer was gone. the first bout was over 20 years ago. This has been discussed to exhaustion in the past 50+ threads.

Thank you. Sorry I missed it. I took a break from WS and came back a few days ago.

I just watched the whole episode, and all i can say is WOW. It is a miracle she was found. Her murderer lured her into going to Joshua Tree with her, strangled her, and threw her down a mineshaft, THEN tossed down a propane tank and a handmade torch hoping it would blow up the mineshaft!!!

BM has probably cleverly concealed that mineshaft by now. I don’t think she will ever be recovered. breaks my heart.

thank you so much for sharing!

I’ve been doing some review and re-reading MSM articles on the Media Thread. In re-reading the below statement from the CCSO on 11/10/20, the 6 month anniversary of SM “missing”, snipped from article at link and BBM below, IMO, the CCSO is verifying the fact that on 5/10/20, they received a report that SM went for a bike ride she never returned from. This is telling and says to me that through their investigation to date, no one came forward to say they saw SM on a bike, nor did any cameras along bike route show SM riding a bike. If they had been able to verify the bike ride, IMO this statement would have been worded very differently i.e., on 5/10/20, SM went for a bike ride and never returned. She was last seen biking out of her driveway and/or last seen on US 50/225 etc. etc. And the last sentence in the bolded below that BM was the last person to see her is IMO, factual and indicates they haven’t been able to verify the bike ride, as well as a not so subtle message to BM that LE don’t/aren’t buying the BS bike narrative.

Also, the 1st missing flyer produced is a picture of SM in biking clothes, wearing her helmet. (See below). There is no LE logo/seal on it so I assume it’s someone from the family that produced it BM? TN? Whomever produced it, I’d imagine BM told them what info to put on it. What really stands out on the flyer is “last seen wearing this helmet”.
Exactly Who saw her wearing that helmet on 5/10/20??? Barry Morphew was the last to see her alive sleeping in her bed. Did she wear the helmet to bed???? Smdh.
There has been no reports/LE verification that anyone saw SM on her bike, a bike ride, OR in a bike helmet on 5/10/20.
Also, “no questions asked” at the bottom of the flyer???? Has to be a family member that produced that flyer, as IMO, LE would never put that statement on one of their flyers.

BM might not ask questions, but LE most definitely would.

That day, a neighbor called 911 to report that she had gone for a bike ride and never returned that day, the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office said. The sheriff's office said her husband, Barry Morphew, was the last person to see her.

Gee, all these months and I never saw that flyer. Good catch, @fcavanaugh! And I think you have it exactly right that this flyer was worded and produced by someone other than LE, probably TN as dictated to by BM.
BM needed the “last seen wearing” bit about the helmet because he had planted it and when it was found it would “prove” she had been abducted. “No questions asked” is the same wording as used on BM’s plea on FB to the imaginary abductors. I believe TN helped BM with that also.
It was shortly after that that TN dropped out of the picture. I thought he began to have doubts about BM, but then he allegedly turns up as one of BM’s henchmen who tried to intimidate MG when she returned from Broomfield.
TN was also the person imploring the public to push LE to release the condition of the bike. Once again, I believe that BM was behind this.
MOO

 

[Chocoholic]

Thanks @Murphy1950. I 100% agree. Also, from the link I posted above, regarding Sheriff Spezze statement on the 6 month anniversary BBM below. IMO, if LE can’t/hasn’t cleared the Spouse of a missing person after 6 months, and we’ve heard nothing about BM being cleared after almost 11 months now, I mean it’s not rocket science. I don’t say that to be rude, it’s just if a Spouse can’t be cleared/ruled out after almost a year, odds are it’s for darn good reason.

The Spouse of a missing person and the last to see them alive will be scrutinized, and need to be ruled out so LE can move on. Innocent Spouses with a cloud of suspicion swirling around them want to be cleared and do anything LE requests, and usually work in concert with LE to nail the person responsible.

I will take LE’s word over BM’s “I’ve had 3-30 hours of interviews and answered every single question“. All that says to me is yes, you are the Spouse and the last person to see your wife alive, of course you are going to be hauled in and asked questions, several times if need be. Doesn’t mean you answered them truthfully. LE hasn’t verified you did answer truthfully and you haven’t been cleared, so......And the BM statement that “I was never asked to take polygraph”. Sorry, I don’t buy that if LE couldn’t clear you, they didn’t ask you to take a polygraph. Nonsensical.
This isn’t directed at you Murphy, just saying I’m not looking to get into a debate with anyone about whether someone should or shouldn’t take a LDT. The point is, if LE can’t clear the Spouse of a missing person, you can bet your bottom dollar, the Spouse WILL be asked to take a LDT. SOP, period.

Again, LE has never handled SM missing as a kidnapping/random abduction.
BM hasn’t been cleared........

Per Sheriff Spezze, 11/10/20:
“This case remains very active, as more than a dozen investigators are aggressively working this case on a daily basis," Spezze said. “And until we determine what happened to Suzanne, we can’t discount any scenario or formally eliminate anyone from suspicion.”

All of the above is IMHOO.

These childish actions of BMs are so easy for us to see. A Jury halfway paying attention would see the guilt, too. A hot headed husband who first claims a puma dragged his wife off her bike then it changes it to being an abduction at the bridge and again to this "whoever has you "however much they want "I want you back" nonsense story, is not selling well. And we're approaching a year's anniversary of Missing Suzanne.

We want an arrest. Lord, don't let 'em get away.

Also if you disposed of a body on a federally abandoned mine site would that constitute a Federal crime? If so that would be a big bonus. IMO

I found myself considering forested areas in mountains. Most of it is on federally controlled land. Plenty is privately owned but those state parks and federal forests are protected to the fullest extend of the law. It's a good thing.

I found myself pondering Andy Moorman's saying there's a 3 1/2 hour distance that's the window's limit on how far BM could travel and make it back within his TL. So, I looked outside of Denver at Aurora and Boulder; the former to the east of Broomfield and the later to the west into Broomfield. I'd choose going to Boulder anyday!

Both areas are covered in reservoirs, mountains, forests, lakes ect for miles but it's on federal property. BM didn't leave her near the Holiday Inn Express in Broomfield. She was gone before he arrived there to take his shower after the encapsulation of his wife.

If this crime was premeditated and I'm in that camp; never beenon the fence, then he'd been distancing himself not only psychologically from Suzanne for some time, just how long it's hard to say, but also distanced himself physically and became emotionally vacant in advance, in order to prepare himself for the horror of killing a long term wife, one of all your adulthood.

Was this a midlife crisis for BM? Or had Suzanne made decisions we're not privy to knowing att. that he would not tolerate. There's no way he would be splitting the proceeds from the sale of the PP home in half or the home in IN with her getting half then pay child support for years and other expenses.

No, he may have chosen a coward's way out and murdered his beautiful bride for greed. Suzanne could beat cancer but she became too weakened and worn down to beat Barry.

His legacy will always be associated with the beautiful Suzanne Morphew because they're linked forever in life and death. Let there be Justice!

Absolutely and the nepotism radiates in the area. Expose them all! Look at that tacky wall. Reporter LS has told us the initial job contract with BM and his IN friend was to pay him $70,000 for the retaining wall in Oct 2020. It looked like "children did it."
Also, not only was the brick wall crooked but it lacked materials required by the city's building codes. Several codes were ignored such as pumping the bottom layer with Styrofoam and having an inspector on site. No big deal.

The video of the wall in LSs report is an embarrassment for Suzanne's legacy that her husband would allow such an unprofessional performance at this lovely Broomfield location for a curved brick wall that could become a piece of art but nope. Never did. I think he was preoccupied with thoughts of the deed. Even back in Oct.
