Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #62 *ARREST*

[Ontario Mom]

I do not believe the camping story where the aunt was supposed to be present. It did not emerge until at least two weeks after Suzanne disappeared. It is complete rumor and there's absolutely nothing to suggest the aunt was there (the rumor comes from posts on FB, but those posts have been deleted).

We are not allowed to sleuth any of this, at any rate, so I'll let it go at that.

That's happened a LOT with this case. Rumors from various social media, YT channels, etc.
It's not helpful, that's for sure.

BM has two sisters. It has been reported (sorry I don't have a source) that he was his father's favorite to the exclusion of his sisters & wanted BM to play pro baseball. I have also read that his mother was very fond of Suzanne. Again, I cannot offer attribution, but I believe the camping trip the daughters were on when SM was reported missing was with one of BM's sisters.

Here is BM's father's obit: Rodger D. Morphew Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Thanks so much. Wow, looks a lot like his dad with the square-ish head.

Not sure we’ve talked about this or if there’s anything’ll significant about it, so checking with you great WS’ers.
Any ideas why BM would get permit to drill a water well on the Longhorn Ranch lot July, 2020 (right after purchase it appears) ? Is there any way to find out if he actually did drill a well? Permit doesn’t mean it actually happened, just that he had legal authority to drill. Screenshots from linked website

For those that follow more cases than I do, I’d love your feedback on:

If bone fragments, teeth or ashes were found at the Salida FBI dig site and they were identified as SM; would BM have been arrested sooner?

Also, I know we’ve been calling this a ‘no body’ case but has LE called it a no body case?

Also, I’d imagine BM would have access to fire accelerants via the CC VFD as I bet they keep them on hand for training purposes.

If fragments, teeth, ashes were found, I would think an arrest would have happened sooner...But, maybe not with a DA that had never tried a murder case before if she wasn’t on board. LE has not called this a “no body” case, but DA Stanley did say her body has not been found.

Reposting this from the end of the last thread. I just don’t get how BM avoided GPS data tracking when it mattered most....

@EggSalad sbm bbm Respectfully, how are you reaching conclusion that BM avoided GPS-data-tracking, presumably at crucial time(s)? I'm not arguing or disputing, just wondering; I could have missed LE stmt re this.
Is it simply or largely based on time elapsed btwn MisPers rpt and BM's arrest? Or something else?

Reposting this from the end of the last thread. I just don’t get how BM avoided GPS data tracking when it mattered most.

I have this odd thought that BM being at the Salida job site Friday night was his way of getting out of the house after the big fight he and SM had, but that he had also made his mind up on murder at that time. While I think he did do work there, I think he also went to someplace remote and dug SM’s grave (I recall some interview from MG where she stated BM called to tell her he’d be 1 hour late picking her up because he was up late the night before). Being on unfamiliar land at night and the rocky terrain, he damaged his bobcat digging the grave.

That was part of the reason he was acting odd on Saturday with MG. The bobcat was damaged and he didn’t want her to ask how it happened because he didn’t want to get caught in a lie. At the same time, he’s acting strange because he is about to murder his wife.

And he has to fix the bobcat promptly to avoid suspicion and to be able to bury her later that day.

But one of the missing pieces of that theory is that BM would have had to have towed the bobcat Friday night to the grave site without having gps tracking.

I wonder if DSI had any fleet trucks that BM would have access to? Although, I’d have to think LE would have checked the gps data on them.

Or maybe the other crews left an older vehicle at the the Salida river front house.

If BM drilled that well, he lost more than just $15,000 when he sold it back at a loss to the developer. Good sleuthing @al66pine. It was a dig site due to hits by cadaver dogs.

This CM video is a visit to BM hometown & discusses BM growing up w/dad wanting him to be a pro baseball player

What dad wouldn't if they had a son that just might qualify for the pros. He might have ridden him hard, but in the long vision that isn't a rare occurrence. I have friends who would move heaven and earth to get a college sports scholarship or an invite to the pro pathand yes some are great and some ride the kids pretty hard. Makes me wonder if C is jealous of Barry's athletic prowess in his youth.

Briefly: Well drilling was completed Dec. 2. 2020.

That opens file w one page form titled "GWS-31
And there you go.

IIRC, 100 ft, flow = 60 gal/min. Seems like a sufficient water for a single fam home.
Yrs ago, when we had well drilled, a lower flow rate, but water was slightly carbonated.
Perrier, no extra charge.)

You’re awesome! Thank you!

@Error505 I think you have uncovered a good report for the tipline!

@IRBHTX Thanks for your "Good sleuthing" comment.

(O/T. I just posted link to the driller's report. Did they hit water at 100 ft?
Or did I misinterp the report?)

Above BBM. Are you referring to CM? Why in the world CM be jealous of BM's "athletic prowess"? Not following.

This is how a well looks in Colorado.

So unless there was just a big hole in the ground for an old-fashioned well (and, to me, drilling suggests a small entry point that taps into an underground aquifer) ... I am not sure that a well would be a likely dumping place.

In all of the interviews and opinions CM has shared, I never got the sense any were born of jealousy. Where did our pragmatist go? What made you think "jealousy"?

I misspoke. That was actually AM telling that info. It was from around the time of his private search. Either in PE or that Patriots Something other show that was allowed as a one time source.
