Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #67 *ARREST*

[Blue Amethyst]

Yep. Like his “if one person was saved” line.

So he killed her so he could live life the way that he wanted. How's that working for you, Barry? What a disgrace to use religion to cover up what you did.

 

[Seattle1]

Indeed. We are probably doing exactly what the defense will want the jury to do: use this affair and JL's behavior to keep the focus off of Barry.

Bingo!

Investigators found some journals but not all journals, according to Harris. Suzanne didn't write about the affair in any journal.

JL got rid of his phone and deleted all traces of his communication with SM? That's going to be golden for BM's defense to plant the TOD defense (the other dude did it and you never checked him out).

His phone pinged off Michigan towers 10th..

That affair must have started not long after the Morphews landed in Colorado...or did it start in Indiana? I think that is important....as there was that talk about Barry and an affair in Indiana, unless I am mistaken.

Not sure Scootie 98. It was Melinda Moorman who suggested there was infidelity in Indiana. I think our minds naturally suspected Barry and it was Suzanne. UNLESS they were both having an affair, and Suzanne kept hers a secret from her sister.

Is it just me, or does this sounds like a Hitchcock movie? Secret affair, meeting all over the country, Spy Pen that seems to capture the most interesting things. I mean it's in his truck, where it picks up the bike forensic pod cast, and then apparently captures both sides of phone conversations. And then the pen that has done all of this is found in a closet? There must be a whole lot more to come, because I'm shocked the defense hasn't suggested that she's in hiding and framing BM. This all has been so unexpected and bizarre.

Early the prosecution said that the last known time Suzanne was alive was 2:47 on 5/9.

Right because that is the last time she spoke to or interacted with anyone or any app on her phone. Then her phone goes invisible all of a sudden at like 4:30 in the morning when Barry says she was asleep.

Suzanne would also delete messages on What's Up App as well during their relationship.

Lauren Scharf@LaurenScharfTV
Special Agents flew to Michigan to interview Libler. He hadn't come forward before investigators found the spy pen. He claimed his phone had been destroyed shortly after Suzanne went missing. He deleted all of the secret accounts after she went missing on What's Up App.

Of course he did.

 

[Knox]

Of course. Which makes what the defense is about to do, a total waste of time.
He’s alibied.

Murder for hire, or she was so good at secrets she had multiple other boyfriends (SODDI), mark my words.

or we can just recognize that a woman was likely broken down over decades (not her fault) and anything newer, fresher seemed appealing. That’s how it goes sometimes, from what I’ve seen.

Defense argues FBI hasn't interviewed anyone connected to man Suzanne was having an affair with, JL. Defense: Mr. L's daughter and brother knew about affair, but have never been interviewed by FBI. Defense appears to be introducing possibility of alternate suspects.

Leibler told investigators he wanted to delete his account so it wouldn't hinder #SuzanneMorphew legacy because she was having an affair. Also says he did it to protect himself.

SA Harris notes the two had a tendency to delete their messages on WhatsApp after they were done talking. He did say Jeff deleted his LinkedIn account after #SuzanneMorphew went missing.

Eytan says #SuzanneMorphew was creating secret accounts and says the secret spy pen lead to her secret affair. She says investigators called Jeff in Nov 2020. She says Jeff never came forward about Suzanne, claims his phone was destroyed that had conversations with her

How could JL believe that in this day and age he wouldn’t get found out eventually?! Like honestly it’s ridiculous to think that he wouldn’t be found out!

 

[10ofRods]

I don't know if this article has been posted; however, it says that Suzanne and Jeff started to communicate over Linkedin when Barry started to suspect something because of their texting. It also goes into a lot of detail about SM and JL relationship.

It also talks about domestic abuse incidents between Barry and Suzanne. "Sheila also described incidents of domestic violence that included Barry smacking Suzanne into a wall and holding a gun to her head."

Suzanne Morphew had a two-year affair before she vanished, husband Barry's murder trial hears | Daily Mail Online

Two local reporters heard it as "held a gun to his head," and I think it's an important distinction.

I'm waiting to hear from two more reporters, but the first person to say it was her head has now tweeted a retraction.

Of course. Which makes what the defense is about to do, a total waste of time.

He’s alibied.

And this is the key. I wish JL would have come forward immediately, not deleted all the evidence of the affair. But in the end he has a rock solid alibi so it really doesn’t matter.

FBI Agent said Suzanne's sister nor any of her friends knew about the affair.

Wonder if BM took some of her journals.

 

[Cindizzi]

Possibly - although I think the FBI can tell whether the doors were opened simultaneously. Sure, if you think that BM would take the chance of strapping his dead wife into the passenger's seat of a vehicle and risk the body moving in very unlife-like ways during a road trip, that could have happened.

Which would mean she was killed at home in between her last convo with JL and about 5 minutes before that door opened on the passenger side.

At any rate, it's the next time that door opens that's interesting (because apparently, LE doesn't believe that next time can be certainly a living Suzanne.

So, as bizarre as it sounds, you could be right. I have to say that if that happened, I'm shocked - but if Barry really did stop at the sandwich shop next, in Poncha, with Suzanne propped up in the truck, oh my!

(But at this point...I can't really be shocked).

He was seen at Poncha Market on Tuesday May 12.

One of Libler's daughters found out about him speaking with Suzanne and told her older brothers and Uncle. Suzanne and Libler paused their relationship for a while but then got back to communication in Christmas of 2019.

Lauren Scharf@LaurenScharfTV
She had used her dads phone to order pizza and found the messages from Suzanne.
