Bumper-lock this jackhole for two weeks and arrest him on Mother's Day. Publicly if possible.
Love this…… but also want to be sure they take their time….. to get it right. There is no rush now…… let the stew simmer til well cooked.

I am reminded of the commercials that the late Orson Welles did for Paul Masson wines…… ‘we will sell no wine before it’s time’. I am applying it in my feeble mind for this case now.

Great work CO investigators and those others involved including I believe the FBI…… Let’s have a clean baton pass to the prosecutors, and then the jury. MOO
 
Did the family plan the Ceremony of Life before or after they received a copy of the AA? (I am assuming chipmunk hunter and his lawyer received a copy prior to it being released to the public.)
I have to assume it was a strategic move by IE to steal headlines.

Falls a little flat when Suzanne's remains lay unclaimed.

Barry Morphew released this statement through his attorneys after the autopsy results were released:

For the past four years the Morphews have agonized over Suzanne's disappearance. This included not only the pain of the loss of their wife and mother but also the false accusations and prosecution of Barry Morphew. The Morphews have prayed the authorities would remove their blinders and not only find Suzanne, but find the suspect responsible for her disappearance and murder. However, the Morphews are left with more questions than answers and a lack of justice for Suzanne, the family
and the community.

On May 10, 2020, around 5:00 a.m. Barry Morphew went to work, driving approximately 160 miles north of the Morphew home for a job that had been planned for months. In 2020, investigators confirmed that Suzanne was a regular morning coffee drinker and DNA testing done in 2020 confirmed that the half finished cup of coffee left on the kitchen counter on May 10, 2020 was covered in her DNA only. The autopsy now also confirms that on the day she disappeared, Suzanne had her morning cup of coffee as shown by the caffeine in the toxicology report. The autopsy also confirms that she put on her mountain bike clothes and was either getting ready for, or was already on her morning bike ride, when she was abducted, allegedly drugged, and buried 50 miles south of their home.

Despite the fact that unknown male DNA was found in Suzanne's car, where her bike was parked, on her bike grips, handlebars, and bike seat, the authorities will not tell the Morphew family whether Suzanne's bike clothes, collected seven months ago with her remains, have been tested for DNA. DNA left on her clothing by the murderer could bring justice for Suzanne, her family and the community. The authorities will also not provide the Morphew's
[sic] any information regarding whether they have performed any testing on the bullet that was collected with Suzanne's remains.

The authorities offered the victims, Barry, Mallory and Macy, the option to retrieve Suzanne's remains, but they want to ensure the suspect is apprehended before they take what could be an important piece of evidence in the suspect's prosecution. The
family is quite skeptical about the integrity of this investigation as the very same investigators that concealed the unknown male DNA continue to be involved in this investigation and were present at the autopsy of Suzanne Morphew.

The family asks for privacy and implores the authorities to look at the case with fresh eyes, follow all leads, conduct all forensic testing, and solve Suzanne's murder.
Suzanne Morphew's death declared a homicide nearly 4 years after she was reported missing in Colorado

The cup of coffee... just a day off. It was Saturday's coffee, not Sunday...
 
I don't know how this works. But Barry is about to find out. What's the retainer for a second go-round with a pricy defense attorney?

He's gonna have to rub some serious nickels together.

Or will she go pro bono with an agenda of her own?
 
Alternately, did IE scramble together a Celebration of Life event to delay or arrest?

Or worse, create theater, should Barry be arrested prior to or just after it, so she can spout about it?

I trust JohhnyGrusing is warming up his report.

Lolol. Now that’s a blast from the past! Paul Masson, lol, does he even make wine anymore? Nice baton toss there.
 
I hope they are watching him closely at this point. The fact they announced it Wed last week, but didn't release it till yesterday makes me wonder if they were getting eyes on him before the big announcement. Would be interesting to see/hear what ole Barry is doing now that the world knows BAM was in her bone marrow.
They have to delegate the watch to (Indiana) ISP police, I think.
 
They will more than likely stand by their father as he is their only living parent. I remember watching the Dirk Greineder trial years ago. He has three brilliant adult children that never wavered in their belief that he didn't kill their mother, even though the evidence was stacked a mile high against him.
People will play extreme mental gymnastics (subconsciously) to keep whatever little they have left intact. I can’t imagine how they’re processing (or perhaps avoiding) the information. A lot of people don’t give credit to the very powerful mindset of denial, and what an ingenious protective mechanism it is for those of us experiencing trauma.

Barry is very lucky to have gotten these last 4 years with them on his side.

Bye, Barry!

Reportedly, the family has planned a Celebration of Life for Suzanne on May 4 in Westfield, IN.

Lauren S YT posted upthread provides the Celebration of Life is by invitation only and SM's family was not aware of the event until contacted by LS. Same with her closest friends-- they did not make the list.
