Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #75 *ARREST*

[Diddian]

Now we are getting somewhere!

Suddenly, the defense team welcomes "cute girls in Salida" search.

 

[K9Enzo]

I'm looking forward to LS and @NoSI describing what they saw looking at the pics of the scratch marks on BM. IMO

 

[SeattleStew]

Huh. I wonder whose home near DSI? Any guesses?

edit: spelling

 

[Brooklyngirl84]

Is it possible BM shot SM with the tranquilizer when she was outside sunbathing? SM realizes what’s happening and makes a run for the MB before the drug renders her unconscious? BM breaks down MB door in a rage, and begins to strangles or smother SM while she tries to fight him off? Maybe the 22 shell rolled out of his pocket during the struggle? (I imagine he unloaded the gun’s live ammunition while he was outside the house loading the tranquilizer?)

On 1:51 p.m. on May 9, 2020 the photo shows #BarryMorphew pulling his bobcat into DSI. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and khaki shorts.

Exhibit 88-92: Surveillance photos from Highway 50 at a Shell Gas Station, Salida Auto Sales, and home near DSI.

Not sure if there is any significance but I think this was also the gas station that LE was at multiple times passing out flyers.

 

[IceIce9]

OH!!! Well well well..
This is pretty damning!!
I wonder what poor animal got the blame for these lol

That crazy mountain lion

 

[Scootie98]

This is big. Hand injuries can be explained away, but those scratches on his arm are much harder.

Maybe he’s got another animal to throw into the zoo? “I was wrestling a bear, as I do, and it got me…”

He may have gotten attacked by a "cute girl near Salida"...

 

[Warwick7]

my guess is he was getting more and more pissed that she did not respond?

@oviedo you took the words right out of my mouth!!!

Now turning to May 13th, Undersheriff says photos of #BarryMorphew were taken. They included some injuries on his hands in various stages of healing, and on his left arm just below shoulder, there were fingernail marks.
@KKTV11News

Guess it's that dang Mountain Lion again.

 

[marylamby]

Wow!!! Suzanne left marks!!!

Yep. Suzanne rocks.

 

[OldCop]

Just to point out for the timeline @OldCop

LS says in the video (timestamp 32:07)

Barry called Suzanne 11 times at 2:26pm on Sat May 9th (in our timeline as the morning) and at 2:39pm JL texted SM "my gang is home" to which there was no response. I haven't finished watching yet to see if there are any other differences.

Thanks, @Tortoise.

Anyone want a bet those were financial files? And wow, burning her journal is scummy. Must have had some incriminating stuff in there. Or at least damaging to his image.

Remember those “messy papers” he carried into HIE? I bet he pulled up the whole hanging file from a file cabinet, rifled through it for what he was looking for, then tossed it into the fireplace with the journal. The rest of the paperwork that was not incriminating was what he took with him to Broomfield. When he left carrying those papers they were all tidied up.

 

[*Verdigris]

Just a thought....if chased into bedroom.....and IF the spy pen was active, wouldn't it have recorded the event?

Let's hope it was on her nightstand that day (assuming that incident didn't happen on her last day) and she put it in the box in her closet, for more proof of DV, to get a divorce.
Maybe too much to hope for.

At 2:32 p.m. #BarryMorphew is seen in his truck on surveillance passing the Shell Gas Station which is east of Salida Spa and Stove. The truck wasn't seen again until 5:14 a.m. heading east.

This is the scenario I visualize....she was shot; was startled..realized what had happened...and took a panicked run toward the house to lock herself in a room...and, maybe, was able to get the MBR locked, before Barry forced it open.

I wonder how deep blue. I would never wash sheets with anything other than other linens but I guess some might to save some time; however, I would guess even those people would never wash a BLUE shirt with sheets.

 

[Warwick7]

Forced entry to master bedroom? Unspent 22 shell? How does that go with Barry shooting her with tranquilizer gun? Did she run from him and lock herself in the bedroom? Maybe she got the gun to try and shoot him in self defense? Why would Barry leave a shell casing on the floor? And Barry burned some things? Holy crap! Of course I have to leave the house now. It will be hard to drive without looking at my phone.

I'm wondering tho if the broken door may be from an earlier event. Idk.

He was physically abuse with often.

Chilling imagery ….

Who Saw Doorframe Damage?

Jennifer Hicks

Rohrich is testifying about damage to the doorframe in the master bedroom that he says indicates forced entry. The previous owners of the house told him that the damage wasn't there when they lived there. There was also an unspent .22 shell on Suzanne's side of the bed.

@Tortoise bbm Thx for post w tweet. I wonder if LE questioned -

---dau's about doorframe damage, and if so, what their answers were.
--- ditto, other guests who were on 2d floor of home.
--- ditto, cleaner, painter, plumber, etc.

I'm lagging behind on reading, sorry if already covered.
