ETA:
Accused Killer Barry Morphew: Request to Change Bond Over...Bad Cell Service?

Despite the damning claims in a 129-page arrest affidavit made public last month, Barry Morphew, who's been formally charged with killing his missing wife, Suzanne, in May 2020, remains a free man, and he's currently living only steps away from the Salida-area home the couple shared — and not far from potentially important witnesses. But after his September 20 release, prosecutors asked that the conditions of his bond be changed for the most Colorado reason imaginable: Cell service in the area is so bad that they're not getting a signal on his ankle monitor.

The September 21 motion, which came to light on October 7, doesn't specifically request that Morphew's bond be revoked, as has been reported. Rather, it's a call for modification intended to prevent Morphew from essentially hiding in plain sight.

[..]

Nonetheless, Morphew was allowed to bond out of Chaffee County jail on September 20 after paying bail set at $500,000. He told the court that he planned to move into a former Airbnb at 10987 Puma Path in Maysville; dubbed the "Cushman residence" in the motion, it's near his former home and that of neighbor Jeanne Ritter, the person who first called authorities about Suzanne's disappearance. But on September 21, Intervention Inc., the Salida firm tasked with tracking Morphew's ankle monitor, revealed that its staffers were "unable to pick up a GPS or cell signal" at that address.

The proximity of the former Airbnb to Barry's old house troubled prosecutors, since they'd asked that he stay away from it. Additionally, "the Ritters have made it very clear that they do not want to have ANY contact with the Defendant," the motion states. "Therefore, if the Defendant is allowed to reside in their neighborhood, this will undoubtedly make the Ritters, at the very least, uncomfortable, and possibly not wanting to continue to reside at their home any longer."

Morphew is said to have another property available to him, at 315 Poncha Boulevard in Salida, not far from a courthouse, where cell service isn't a problem. "It makes sense for the Defendant to reside in this residence instead," the motion contends.

Judge Patrick Murphy has yet to rule on this matter — the latest strange twist in a case full of them.

Defense says that Gene Ritter tells her that she is not afraid of #BarryMorphew. She says neighbors have said that prosecutors told them they should be afraid of Barry and should kick him out of the neighborhood. Iris says that neighbors tell her they're not afraid of Barry.

Since Barry has been in close contact (sharing a steak?) with someone who has allegedly tested positive for Covid, will the court insist BM wear his mask properly?

I'm not aware of the source reporting SD has/had covid but if SD was present in Chaffee County Court today as posted up-thread, perhaps allegations of covid are not accurate. o_O

He found out. He didn't mention the affair immediately to LE because it was a motive for what he did.

Yes, I think he knew. Hence all the melodramatic monologs about how shocked, hurt, and devastated he was when he was told. Over and over again to LE.

That's the thing about liars - they are unaware of how laughably transparent they are.

Quiet right now at the Chaffee County courthouse. #BarryMorphew is set to be in court at 3:30 today. It says the hearing is virtual online but I confirmed with the courts that the WebEx is private so in order to listen we have to be here in person.

We are starting off with the people’s motion to modify bond conditions. Pros says two connections are needed for GPS. One is a cell connection and the GPS goes blank when #BarryMorphew goes into the Maysville area.

2:48 PM · Oct 13, 2021

Iris says that #BarryMorphew was not at the residence and there is no evidence. She says Shoshona Darke was at the residence retrieving a package "misaddressed" to the former Morphew residence, but she believes Darke was not trespassing.
@KKTV11News

2:49 PM · Oct 13, 2021

Iris says the prosecution wants #BarryMorphew to live in a house owned and occupied by Shoshona Darke, that Barry is allegedly paying rent for. She says the prosecution wants this to look "dirty" to make it look like he's living with a new woman.

Iris says that #BarryMorphew is going to get a cell booster for his current home to help with GPS tracking. She believes this will help. She also says "what's the other option right now? To put him on home restraint?"
@KKTV11News

2:56 PM · Oct 13, 2021

Iris says #BarryMorphew is complying with the courts order and not going off the grid. She says the company tracking the GPS don't have concerns and can pick him up as soon as he gets in service.

Judge says that he will need #BarryMorphew to travel to Poncha Springs every day so that his GPS is recognized. He says if he does not want to do that then he needs to move.

#BarryMorphew and his attorney Iris Eytan are inside the Chaffee County Courthouse now.

2:34 PM · Oct 13, 2021

#BarryMorphews defense asked Mrs. Ritter today if they were afraid of him and she said no. The Ritters are on the no-contact list and live near where Morphew was staying where no GPS was being detected on his ankle-monitor in Maysville.

2:52 PM · Oct 13, 2021

The defense is arguing about the GPS monitoring on his ankle monitoring. #BarryMorphew is wanting to stay in Maysville and is getting a cell booster. He says he feels unsafe in Salida because people know him too much now.

3:00 PM · Oct 13, 2021·

The prosecution wants #BarryMorphew to live in #ShoshonaDarke home in Salida where Morphew is allegedly paying rent.

3:03 PM · Oct 13, 2021

Judge Patrick Murphy said #BarryMorphew is allowed to stay in Maysville at the Cushman home which is very close to where Suzanne and the Morphew family used to live. The judge said he legally can't make him move.

3:06 PM · Oct 13, 2021·

#BarryMorphew does have a protection order on the old house which is next to where he wants to live. Morphew must travel to Poncha Springs for the GPS to recognize his location everyday and the judge said if he doesn't do this then he will have to move.

So odd to be on a no-contact list, but not be afraid of the person. Perhaps afraid is not quite the word the Ritters would use. Does prosecution have a right to rebut?

If the company tracking the GPS don't have concerns, then why did they contact the court about it?
