ITA , it will take electronic forensics, etc to solve the case. The further away from the Morphews, the harder, not impossible.
You raised other points, I agree with.
Longhorn Ranch is incredibly drab, compared to Puma Path, and near the airport? No trees, flat and blah. Airport not a big operation, perhaps SM and BM were interested in flying, who knows?
Quite a challenge, from landscaper’s POV.
Perhaps tho, that is what SM and BM wanted, they seemed to be a goal oriented couple with plans.
BM is young from a SS retirement angle. He may never have used that as a retirement plan.
He appeared to enjoy his job, until all this happened, so he and SM May have had a different retirement age in mind.
All the comments about the Puma Path house, finally forced me to think further; that house would be perfect for a BnB, etc, perfect lodge type rental.
It’s possible the whole family was involved in this plan.
BM may have options on all the lots, in LongHorn neighborhood, or partnership with owner/developer. In other words, this could be his and SMs 10 yr plan, income and his enjoyment in the landscaping process.
Their house could be a sort of model home, until they had the first homes built. Storage of his landscaping equipment.
I have no doubt BM would be moving in large trees, and turning the drab into a oasis in that desert area.
The Morphews have been savvy investors, thruout their marriage, if they paid that much for that lot, they knew it was going to be worth it.
Their plan was already in the works, this wasn’t some plan BM had without SM knowing. MOO
We have no evidence that SM was the breadwinner of the family until an inheritance from her mother... yet they seem to have had a comfortable financial situation, investing in rentals.
His income enabled her to be a stay at home mom.
IMO, BM is just treading water, he is following the plan he and SM had for their future, until he can move forward on his own.
He knows SM is dead and he knows who did it. It is taking every bit of his beliefs and Christianity not to strike out, and he is constantly reminding himself , that’s why he is preaching to reporters.
He isn’t worried about his public image, he could care less. He knows the guilty parties will get justice, he’d prefer it on this earth, but justice will come.
I am approaching this case from a personal angle, there are many similarities between the Morphews, and my own.
Financially savvy and also frugal, my hubby worked hard, and we saved, saved, saved.
We took on a financial challenge 20 yrs ago.
We stuck together and had our church community support. We were house poor for 15 of those years, but we overcame.
If one of us had been abducted, the other would be under the microscope, who knows.
We live on a secluded acreage, now gated. The only fearful time was when my psychopath sister was battling for control of my mother, it was actually pathetic, but ultimately for me it was my mother’s wellbeing, my sister was just greedy, and she had always been jealous. She was a loose cannon.
Our inheritance, between 5 children was about the cost of 4 months in assisted living, so I always felt there was a more sinister motive, jealousy. It was a nasty period of my life, memories come back, but mostly I’m past it now.
