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

[StarrDetective]

I want in on this investigation and discussions with DA. I don’t know how it’s possible that there’s not enough to charge him w the disappearance of his wife.
I really wish we knew what they know. If they have what we all expect they SHOULD have, then that’s enough to hold him in jail until trial. Give defense the discovery. If they have what we think they have, then id risk the gamble of bringing him to trial. moo

I'm curious, which charges do you think the CCSO can arrest him on currently?

I'm curious, which charges do you think the CCSO can arrest him on currently?

I posted sep 19 several posts and links on the requirements s to work on the wall in Broomfield... and called for his arrest based partly on these known facts ...here is 1 of the posts...

@OldCop nice to see you back!!

I wanted to add this to your time. All from MG interview:

°Tuesday morning MG and crew came back to Salida, after waiting for bricks that never arrived.

°Tuesday, two days after SM became missing 2 men approach her, one a friend of Barry's, and one a family member.

°MG hadn't been paid yet. These 2 men talk to her about her check, hush money and the right she has not to turn over her phone. (And whatever else they talked about).

°MG turns her phone over to LE

Retaining wall policy





IMO There would have to be a "invoice" for delivery of brick documented from a masonry supply house or a internal work order from the general contractor who could also deliver the bricks. The bricks must match the wall , and I would think the wall specifications would require an inspection -both on initial install-and especially any repair made. If this was state money used to construct this wall near some highway to my understanding- this repair would not even be allowed -( putting workers on state property with traffic a concern) without documented liability and documented workers comp.
I think a "performance bond" needs to be put up, based on the cost of the "wall job" guaranteeing it will be done right. If the wall indeed failed under warranty- why call back a contractor to repair a wall he screwed up and wait so long for him to find time when contractor could easily Tap the performance bond money and hire a reputable masonry contractor . Could it be because inspection was not proper and that current sub-contractor knew it and they had to wait for him to repair it or get their methods exposed? Does't add up so far.
That said we turn to the laying of the brick. Bricklaying is a apprenticable trade, and I wonder how the usual suspect was initially qualified to erect a wall based on what we have learned about his degree.
Again, why call the initial wall erector back to fix when the bond could be tapped to correct his "crooked wall" Who was the "journeyman bricklayer" Morgan? Cassidy?- was it Pruitt - a new hire? If Pruitt was not a journeyman bricklayer- why him? And why meet and hire him in person on Sat ( I believe i just read) Or was Pruitt with the usual suspect to do other on Sat if they indeed met in person ? Lastly not sure if Morgan found Pruitt or not. If any of my suspicions pan out- you can bet L.E. knows the wall "thingy" is b.s.-imo Motown

I’d go with murder. Argue he’s a flight risk who’s selling off properties left and right.

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

I think you meant Puckett, not Pruitt but I'm not following how your reply answers the question about what charges BM could be currently arrested for.

We have no idea if he actually broke the law, or if there's any evidence that he broke the law in Broomfield as it pertains to that retaining wall.

Even if he were evidence and he was arrested and charged for that, how does that help bring justice for Suzanne?

Justice for Suzanne is him in a cell and not walking free. I am a contractor. I found the requirements to legally build a wall in Broomfield. They were not followed and records are kept. I posted those requirements and their links. If a murder jaywalks- u arrest him for jaywalking and hope he confesses to his cellmate or even a cellmate beat it out of him in a perfect world.....If you think allowing him to break the law and work without credentials is ok ..xxxxxx---but up here we have codes---they get enforced usually when a complaint is made....absent all else I believe he was not arrested and drug to court for his lying wall job and his methods and his cash no taxes payroll system because they couldn't (after my posts and they are reading the posts by the way) risk him in jail and let him walk to trail him....to the body or cohoorts.

 

[Birmingplumb]

Which brings me back to my main concern if he did this deed.....if the L.E. and d.a. have evidence of a murder, but want the body first for 100% guarantee of a guilty verdict.....((( lets say- to be elected governor)...and witholds relevant evidence and information from the state agency responsible for ensuring that the minor is safe and not living in the household of a killer....is it ok with u? It seems to be ok with most posters here as I remember posting this long ago...They said "he will never hurt his kids" ......but point is was L.E. legally required to disclose to child protective services anything incriminating of the minors dad????????? A minor childs safety was and is at risk IMO.

Exactly it’s just proving without a reasonable doubt so all the jurors obviously have to all find him guilty. I agree with you I think they have plenty on him, and I think they could bring him in for obstruction now.

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.

The question is whose responsibility was it...the general contractor or was it the subs for that contractor who pulled the permits. Seems like looking at the original wall build would give the answer of who pulled permits, who ordered materials etc. I am one that thinks there is zero regarding the actual wall of interest . The contractor claimed he knew Thursday they were going to start Monday so the only odd fact is why Barry drove up so early Sunday...but it should not be difficult to figure out who was supposed to pull permits, order materials etc. Plus from the images given the rebuilt exposed the earth pretty clearly next to the wall. I think the wall is just a distraction.

You're suggesting it's possible that even if they had evidence he murdered Suzanne, that BM might be buddies with CCSO deputies, and that's why he hasn't been arrested yet?

Just want to make sure I'm understanding that correctly.

I disagree.
Justice for Suzanne is the lawful conviction, based on all available evidence (and good old fashioned police work) of the person who presumably murdered her.
And then, the rest of his miserable, self-absorbed life, rotting away in a cage.

[MrsWatson]

It's one thing to say, "Arrest him now!" but on what charges?

There's this thing called double jeopardy.

Only one bite of the apple.

He gets charged with obstruction, then what? Hope he confesses? And what if he doesn't? He hasn't given an inch so far.

I’ve been doing some review and re-reading MSM articles on the Media Thread. ..... 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 pick her up on a bike... as a subliminal message to BM that they aren’t buying the BS bike narrative.

Great job picking up on the nuances @fcavanaugh. They received a report but apparently never bought into it, obviously. There has to be a checklist/Question protocol followed for missing persons. I would think step one would be “where were they last seen, and by whom?” Which would lead to “I didn’t really see her; her husband says she went on a ride” Where is her husband…”out of town”. Not a promising start...

But the real icing here is the poster. If we have discussed “last seen wearing” I missed it, that is huge to me. Might as well write..."if you see Barry looking in trash cans, it’s for the helmet." What they are saying…look for this planted evidence...something is awry IMO.

He knew he would be gone to Broomfield approximately May 10-12 by Thursday May 7th, when he called his client to confirm the job.
On Thursday he also knew that the daughter would be gone, and SM would be alone in the house for a couple of days.
Everything else aside, apparently he thought it was fine to leave his wife alone for days in a big remote house with an inop security camera system.

I do wonder if Barry ever found what he was looking for in those rubbish bins? Sometimes I wonder whether he thought he had binned the documents that JP found n Broomfield hotel room?

I posted those requirements and their links.

Here is a no nonsense, down to earth how to catch the guy and make him sing. I bet you know “more than one way to skin a cat” or get the build job done right the first time. Unfortunately, sometimes the wheels of justice grind slowly. The investigation is run by local LE, with outside help, and with the entire country watching, they have to investigate this disappearance by the book.

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.

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.
