This guy..... Seriously....."Didn't know that you couldn't vote for someone else..." SMH.

He is not the sharpest tool in the shed, that is for sure!

 

[clearskies1]

I can’t believe we finally found a fraudulent vote and it was Barry Morphew!

Too funny!

Somebody check quick and make sure he didn't cast one for these "voters" too:
M. Lion
Bob Cat
Boog E. Man

Although we didn’t get the juicy AA revealed to us today we did get some new food for thought and an abundance of good laughs! Tomorrow is another day!
I’m left wondering was Barry mad that Suzanne wasn’t voting for Trump after all? Is this what initiated the fight?
i wonder what other dirt they have on him that will surprise us? IMO

The seller holds the mortgage for you. You make payments directly to the seller. And you are the owner of the house.
The papers you sign will allow the seller to foreclose on the house if you renege on the deal.

I was going to post a link, but my internet security blocked it (malicious attack), so I will have to say IMO.

Is this the same as purchasing on a Land Contract or something different? TIA.
ETA sorry for duplicate post

I don't for a minute believe that he didn't know he wasn't allowed to vote for her. Feigning ignorance. JMO

 

[BeckyF]

Wow! Your dear wife has disappeared into thin air and no trace of her has been found! But ya know you gotta get that extra vote in, right? Priorities Barry, priorities.

I don't get it. I can half way see him putting in a vote for her to convince ppl that she ran off with those "people she knew very well", but the nitwit signed the ballot as a witness? s hit for brains.

I mean she was dead, it would be too ridiculous to include in a movie plot. One of the oldest voter fraud schemes is to cast votes for dead people on the voting rolls. I feel like anyone who has ever watched a mafia or politics TV show has heard stories about dead people voting!

Yes, I think it is the same.
And I think taking back papers is a bit of a slang/informal term.

I can’t stop laughing at this! OMG!

Was she ever declared legally dead? IE to be on a list of dead people to check for voting? I don't see why it would matter in Colorado anyway unless there was some local office to sway.

CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. — The husband who is being accused of killing his wife, Suzanne Morphew in Chaffee County faces new charges on Thursday. He allegedly voted with his missing wife’s ballot.

According to court documents, Barry Morphew faces charges of Felony Forgery of Public Records and a Misdemeanor Elections-mail ballot offense. The offenses occurred between October 22, 2020, and May 13, 2021.

In the court documents, the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office was notified by the Chaffee County Clerk of a report of alleged voter fraud. They had received an election voter ballot for a missing person, Suzanne Morphew who had been missing since May of 2020. The clerk provided the ballot to be photographed and taken as evidence. On the back of the ballot envelope, there was no signature next to the voter signature, but Barry Lee Morphew signed the witness’s signature.

During an audio-recorded interview with the FBI and Morphew on April 22, they asked him why he submitted his missing wife’s Presidential election voter ballot. According to the arrest warrant, Morphew replied, “just because I wanted Trump to win.” Morphew added, “to give him (referring to President Trump) another vote, I figured all these other guys are cheating and I know she (referring to Suzanne Morphew) was going to vote for Trump anyway.” When the FBI told Morphew that what he did was illegal he responded, “I didn’t know you couldn’t do that for your spouse.”

In September of 2020, Morphew petitioned for permanent guardianship of Suzanne. He was granted letters of permanent adult guardianship from the Indiana courts on January 2021. Colorado recognized those papers of guardianship shortly thereafter.

Morphew had a virtual advisement hearing in the morning for these new charges. His bond for the additional charges is $1,000. He is currently in the Chaffee County Detention Facility without bond for charges of first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and attempt to influence a public servant.

The arrest affidavit regarding the murder charges has not been posted online at the time of this writing. Morphew’s next court date has been set for May 27 at 4 p.m

so many thoughts.

I won’t state anything political, so I don’t get banned, but there is a strong, strong, strong chuckle coming from my end on the projection of fraud versus reality.

I think this playing dumb aspect of BM is one of his cunning behaviors. I can’t wait to see where this shows up in the murder AA.

With all of his real estate transactions, this fraudulent activity is just going to be the tip of the iceberg.

I meant more he murdered her in May 2020 so he knew she was dead when he cast the vote! Like he was the one person to know it was a murder victim voting.

It just blows my mind and I deal with truly awful people all day. You can’t make this stuff up!

Wow, Barry's dumbas*ery never ceases to amaze me! He clearly thought he was untouchable. Of course, he blames the "cheaters" for his cheating. He is laughable. He had to have made a ton of mistakes in commiting this crime.

It must be related to being a federal crime. I was only half kidding about getting Capone on tax evasion when they couldn't get him on murder.

 

[al66pine]

I hope it's not like Al Capone where they finally got him for tax evasion instead of all the murders.

Excellent post as always @OldCop.
You posited 2 very well thought out plausible scenarios and may have even swayed me more towards Friday.
I so agree we have to remember we are at a big disadvantage trying to put the puzzles together with a whole lot of pieces missing, and yes I do enjoy reading everyone’s theories to make me think and keep an open mind when we have little known facts to work with. Hopefully we’ll know soon what day SM was mirdeted.
Having said that and while we wait:
I think our Saturday theories are pretty close.
I speculated here awhile back in more detail about a Friday night blow out fight between SM & BM, they went to bed mad at each other, slept in separate bedrooms.
BM gets up Saturday morning still stewing mad about whatever they fought about Friday and leaves the house in an angry huff Saturday morning to go to the jobsite with MG.
MG said BM didn’t really seem like himself Saturday morning, which is because he was still upset about the argument from the night before. He cuts the day short to go home to make the wife happy yes to start alibi building etc. when he gets home more arguing ensues and he kills her ‘sometime’ after he got home.
I struggled more with the timeline after BM got home Saturday morning. Reason being all the different times that were given for when the BFF text wedding convo happened, and also the alleged 4pm sandwich sighting and so, posited that if sandwich sighting isn’t true he killed SM shortly after he got home Saturday 11:30/12 and if 4pm sandwich sighting is true, arguing continued off and on throughout the day, stopped arguing briefly when they went to get sandwiches, arguing picked up after they had sandwiches and SM was killed later on Saturday after they got back from sandwiches,. My speculation was based on me not thinking BM could pull off any long drawn out wedding texting convo with SM’s BFF from Indiana.
All the different times given as to when the BFF texting convo took place on Saturday, left room for SM to have been killed either shortly after BM got home Saturday morning, or later after sandwich sighting as one of the alleged texting convo times was around 9pm iirc.

All that to say, I think most of our Saturday theory of what happened aligns and you make good points about JP mentioning only saw BM in town Saturday alone making the sandwich sighting less probable. And another good point that BM could have been impersonating Suzanne texting and friend though something seemed off to BFF and when she questioned him that’s when convo abruptly ended. So if I ignore the alleged 4pm sandwich sighting which hasn’t been verified also considering the CV19 factor putting doubt on it, if I go by the original time that was said BFF wedding convo took place which was right around 11:30/12pm iirc, I agree with your timeline theory that SM was killed shortly after BM got home from jobsite Saturday, briefly tried to impersonate SM in convo with BFF, put her in cooler in garage, went into town shopping for cleaning supplies and to see JP about the job. And with everything else you posited about what he spent the rest of Saturday evening and wee hours of Sunday doing, as that’s how I always felt he spent that time as well regardless of whether SM met her demise on Friday or Saturday.
I like the Friday night theory you posit above too. It’s well thought out and yes, plausible for sure. The text to her BFF in IN Friday night and them fighting after BM found out she’d been confiding in her BFF and/or her Sister enraging him and he shoots her or kills her with a crossbow, or strangles her. Then makes a trip to Salida jobsite to bury SM or evidence.
Could very well have gone down like this on Friday. I have been of the belief that SM was killed on Saturday, but I’m definitely going to ponder over this Friday night theory a little more.
I have a question about your Friday night theory OldCop, if he did bury her at the Salida beach site Friday night, do you think she’d still be there, or? Moved her?

As for the bolded last sentence in you post, oh yeah

IMHOO

I think this theory makes sense other than I don't think he shot her and did anything that would have drawn blood. We would have heard about that and LE would have reacted quicker i.e. with arrest, if there was blood or body matter of any significance. I think he strangled or suffocated her possibly in her sleep. I think it was planned before Friday and he had a bury spot prepared that was on his route to Denver or one of his jobs that would enable him to quickly drop off her body and keep moving towards destination. I wonder if in remote areas of Colorado if they have unmanned gas stations. We have them in rural areas in Missouri. You have to use your credit card and can fuel at any time. There are no attendants ever on site. He could've stop to fuel up as a cover to ditch her body. They'd see the stop on his GPS and see it was a gas station and that he had purchased gas and discounted the stop. Just a thought but don't know if Colorado has any of these type fueling stations.

and he’s a true crime aficionado he must have missed the ones about evidence.

 

[BeckyF]

Because regardless of the charges he's facing from the State of Colorado, BM also allegedly committed a Federal crime.

You have to admit the timing is just slightly weird.
