Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #41

[Love Never Fails]

Here is a Google Earth Aerial View of the land containing the Longhorn Subdivision, with BM's lot outlined in red. This is just a higher shot of the same picture that I posted in the last thread, except that I turned on the Google "Historic Views" feature to get the prior view dated October 13, 2015. The current image is dated October 5, 2019.
Note that the streets were cut, lot corner posts were added, the fencing was removed, and six piles of boulders were dumped in the time span between the two shots. There are two darker spots in BM's land that I cannot identify as boulder dumps, but it doesn't matter.
The picture posted a while ago on PE CM's Twitter clearly shows a truck in the background with the KARSS logo. That is the company who owns the property and building directly north in my Google Earth shots. The LE in that picture are examining ONE of those rock dumps (pointed out by another poster in the prior thread), that are not on BM's land and have been there for at least eleven months. That's seven months before SM disappeared, and nine months before BM bought that lot........minimum.
IMO

both pictures were produced entirely in Google Earth with no external editing or alteration

Are you saying LE are NOT digging on BM’s Longhorn property? Your post is confusing.

Thanks MassGuy. I think I am going to lose sleep again tonight. All I can hope is that the perp is going to lose a lot of sleep also!

This is such a roller coaster of emotion. If I’m feeling this, I can only imagine how the girls are suffering. Painful. I’m also afraid to see something I can’t unsee.

In fairness, I think Chris's vitriol was more pointed at the Sheriff's office than the FBI/CBI, but I can't blame him for getting riled up after that statement by the Sheriff's office yesterday.

BBM:

I can, and I do.

Or, at least, I would, if I believed the display of outrage was sincere.

Which I don't.

I think that show was nothing but pure theater, intended for an audience of one.

We'll see what the PE guys have to say for themselves on their next live.

If it turns out they were sincere last night, then they were sincerely wrong, and they owe LE a sincere apology.

An added question from me on the dig. This is on BM property at Longhorn. What about the tree site on private property Andy was guarding last night? Good to see some action on the dog hits.

I thought the location of the tree was at the Longhorn property? Isn't it just on another lot near the one BM owns? This is what I've thoughtful along. Now I'm confused.

 

[Madeleine74]

Good question for a prosecutor to ask a jury.

It would be!

I was mad after that statement too. But interesting that now we find out the sheriff is out this week. I guess he was out yesterday too?

JMO.

Yeah that’s what I thought you meant. What I was trying to tell MassGuy. But, of course, the original writer said it best.

I’m still not convinced though.

 

[oviedo]

At least. (Provisos below). Most sources say 3-4 days.

However...blood decomposes too. If there were any significant amount of human blood/tissue on the Bobcat, then it would decompose and dogs could smell it later.

Here's a study of the blood of diabetic patients with necrotic feet. It shows that cadaverine was already present in the blood of these living people - prior to their amputations. The goal of the study was to show that scientific measurement could assess necrosis early on:

So, yeah. If there were any significant amount of blood on the Bobcat, it would originally have been fresh - but then, as I understand it, it would putrefy. Here's an even better article on how cadaver dogs are "blood sniffing" dogs, as the cadaverine training leads them to hit on decomposing blood:

The influence of ageing and surface type on the odour profile of blood-detection dog training aids

So if something happened at 8am Saturday - I wonder what / where she was until Sunday evening when he returned?

So here we go. It’s almost as if it takes time to get a warrant, assemble multiple agencies, close off roads, and bring in the equipment to properly do this.

No, this wasn’t the result of a pressure campaign, but it looks to be the result of what Andy’s team found.

Massguy is getting excited again!

Maybe the pressure campaign didn’t start the engine, but I think they shifted it into second gear.
IMO

It is very doubtful that they are on BM's property. Perhaps that's what the PE discussion about AM having the ability to get landowner permission and pay for damages was all about. IMO

 

[Lilypad13]

Thank God! I leave for an hour and come back and they are digging!!! Thanks for being on it ya’ll and for posting links so quickly. Aren’t we all just so relieved this is finally happening?! Is it just at the LHR site do we know? I wonder if it was in the works already or is this the result of pressure being applied by the Senator or Chris or the public outcry? I’m just glad LE is doing the right thing. Guess I won’t be getting much accomplished in my life again today...

I’m glad they blocked the road as they should if this turns out to be Suzanne’s grave. I wonder if Andy is there? He said the pain of not knowing would be worse than the pain of finding Suzanne. But this will bring him to his knees if it’s his baby sister. And the daughters...I wonder where they are and who they are with. It’s too bad they can’t be with Andy. I hope they have their eye on BM!! It feels wrong to be so excited about something so somber but if this is it then Andy’s Army has succeeded in his mission and justice will prevail... and closure & healing can begin. Prayers going up for Andy, the daughters, GM and all of the family and friends of Suzanne. And also for LE who must do this difficult task.

 

[Karen Walker]

Is this the DM taking pictures? They are really good.

Yes, the DM always has the best pictures. No doubt about that.

 

[happyday]

That statement merely said that Suzanne had not been found, as the Daily Mail seemed to imply. It didn’t mean they had searched and determined quickly that Suzanne wasn’t there, as Chris seemed to believe.

Turns out they obviously already had a plan in the works, and didn’t want to release that.

Chris should know better than anyone that law enforcement can’t just go grab their shovels and start digging.

But if they had a plan yesterday why did they just leave and not secure the site(s)?

 

[MassGuy]

Maybe the pressure campaign didn’t start the engine, but I think they shifted it into second gear.

This was likely in the works a couple days ago. This doesn’t happen overnight. I don’t think it made any difference at all.

The FBI doesn’t care about people on social media telling them what they should do.

 

[oviedo]

They may mess up the story or run with the wrong information, but DAMN they always have the best pictures.

Yes, Andy Johnstone is the photographer - I have been meaning to go back and check the credit from the search at the family home too - wonder if he was there at that time too?

 

[Fireflize]

Ha! I should probably put it in context.

Before Andy’s search began, I pegged his chance of success at about 2-5%. It was a huge long shot.

Now I think the odds may be a few times that. I still think it’s more probable than not that Suzanne is not there, but there’s hope.

Point taken. Thx

Liking this to the moon and back... Thank goodness!

 

[MassGuy]

I’m sure they weren’t worried about someone coming in with a backhoe overnight and digging.

We don’t know for sure if they didn’t have some surveillance of that site either.

 

[Willowwood26]

Likely photographing items or areas of interest before the digging begins. That stuff is typically well documented.

So, this is typical to photograph before a dig? Or a good sign?

 

[branmuffin]

Are they digging in a gravel pit or some kind of rock quarry?
