[Guess Who]

In the Court TV one, the one guy was asked what he thinks of the shallow grave thing. Even though he was not up on every detail on this case an even though he was not up on the DNA and what it means in this case, he WAS up on most and DNA in general.

He said, knowing the area, that you don't bury deep easily in this area without the proper tools. Hard ground, etc. And anyone not knowing that would find out the hard way. Paraphrasing. On this question his response was great and spot on to this case. Barry didn't have the proper tools for his workers and faked alibi job in Broomfield eiher. This is what I TAKE from this. Barry was covering up in both cases to not think of such things nor have time to do it right. Barry is not a Colorado native.

He had a several hour window but panicked no doubt, had a helmet to throw out, a body to bury, an alibi to get to, etc. This is my take and thought.

Personally, my thought was Barry just went the opposite direction, was so full of it and cared less or thought he'd be caught that he just hurriedly dumped her in a somewhat lazy and sure manner he'd went opposite and would never be suspected, the area looked at etc. BUT his point makes more sense. You can't dig this ground easily.

My summary on just this key point is Barry never had the proper tools for anything ever and not that weekend to be sure... It combines though with the thought I've always had that he had enough time and likely went in the opposite direction of his alibi. I actually thought it could have even been two to three hours away rather than 40 minutes tops even although that would have left him less time to then get back home and switch vehicles and head for Broomfield, etc

Moral of the story: Barry never has the proper tools.

Every place I've been in Colorado is rock. Think desert except instead of sand, it's made of rocks. That is the ground in that area. The only places I've seen actual dirt is in the foothills, yards and forests.

Where are you getting this? She did not take a bike ride and even if she did even Barry didn't claim she'd have put her bike in the car on this "alleged" ride. The only thing about that comes from the bf when talking to officers before they knew where she went, where the bike was or would be found, etc. that for CERTAIN rides, she would take bike in car, not on this one where it turned out to be (still fake ride though). You are mixing up posts and talks of before they found the bike versus when they did and where. That was simply the daughter's bf talking of various trails or rides she may have taken when cops asked before they had talked to almost anyone or even went looking for her.

Let's get this straight, even if there WAS a bike ride,not once or ever has it been indicated she did not leave home on bike or that she took her car or even touched it that day.

The DNA thing far later is just from them searching and taking everything later on and even to this day there is no indication she took her bike in her car and there is no indication Suzanne ever touched her bike or was alive that day.

Sorry but it is a pet case so forgive the vehemence but you aren't up on it all I don't think. That's okay but letting you know that you aren't. Believe me I am not up on others and even in this one forget some things but am up on the key things and have been since day one.

Where are you getting the info that she did not go on a bike ride that day? You have her already dead before that day right? Where do you get that from? You have followed this much longer than I so you hopefully can answer that.

I have an open mind regarding who did it and need convincing, much like a jury does.

 

[Guess Who]

Not just the glovebox DNA too but the other DNA on the bike, helmet and rear seat cushion. They need to get that identified or they won't be able to charge anybody with certainty IMO.

That was not the same DNA. We've been through this already.

At least make your decision using the correct facts though. You seem to be stuck in the DNA samples ask matching each other and matching the rapist when neither are correct. I have no problem with people saying they aren't sure he did it, but at least base that on facts.

 

[Tresir]

Man did I miss a lot of posts I just came across from backtracking on someone's response to one.

Yeah BM staged the bike near to appear to be a bike ride from home not a bike ride she transported her bike in her vehicle with. That has never been considered and isn't the case. Pieces are being added and put together here that aren't fact and have no relation to each other.

And there was NO bike ride.

What's your evidence for BM staging the bike ride? Why would he need to do that?

 

[Tresir]

That was not the same DNA. We've been through this already.

I know it's not the same but it has to belong to somebody, so who else could have been involved in her murder/ abduction/staging of the bike crash?

AFAIK I can ask what I like and it is nothing to what will be asked or brought up in court once someone is indicted.

Her car, bike and helmet has DNA. Glovebox DNA has a partial match to an AZ rapist. What about the rest of the DNA? I have read it is unmatched although both BM and JL were excluded. So that is still unmatched and did not match to BM. So what DNA evidence is there of BM doing it, if it exists?

 

[Guess Who]

No. No it doesn't. The bike dna could have been simply somebody touching it at any given time. Same as the helmet and the glove bos. Now, if they all matched, then it might mean something. There is absolutely nothing connecting them together though. None.

If you have a bike and a helmet and a vehicle, I guarantee each one will have dna other than yours on them. That is all it means. Take ANY 3 items in your household that leave your household and you will find the exact same thing, especially if those items sit in the open at any time.

 

[Guess Who]

Now if those 3 things had the same dna on them and the story you were last seen with them, then it should definitely be investigated.

Asking is far different than stating as a fact.

Let's just look at the bike alone. She recently got into biking so I think we can assume the bike was bought new. When a new bike like that is shipped, it's shipped in a box. Those bike pieces have already been handled by many people in manufacturing, especially the seat. It has multiple components by itself that are handled. All those pieces are put in the box. That box goes to a store to sell it. The people in the store then assemble it. Then they typically set them out on a sales floor. Where do people always touch a bike when looking at it? Those very places where they found the dna. We are now already talking probably dozens of samples of dna that might be still able to be detected. Then how many people did she show it to? How many took it on a test ride when she might have showed it to them? How would any of that be able to be tracked and how would any of that be related to her disappearance?

What statements are you alluding too and I'll tell you where I got them, if they were stated as fact.

So why isn't Barry's DNA on any of the items?

Suzanne Morphew's remains found in 'shallow grave,' husband's attorney says

Barry Morphew's attorney provided more details about the area where Suzanne Morphew's remains were located on Wednesday, more than three years after she went missing.

www.foxnews.com

"The first and most important focus should be that the Morphew’s just learned that they lost their beautiful mother and wife after she disappeared 3 ½ years ago," Eytan said in her statement. "What appears to be the overriding focus is a finger pointing right back where it started 3 ½ years ago: a movement to blindly re-accuse Barry [Morphew] for Suzanne’s death."

Eytan added that "Barry was the most scrutinized, dissected, surveilled individual, minute by minute, hour by hour using law enforcement cameras posted by his home, phone taps and GPS devices placed on his car – all during the time frame of her disappearance and the years following."

MISSING SUZANNE MORPHEW: COLORADO PROSECUTORS REVEAL BODY IS IN ‘VERY DIFFICULT SPOT’

Neither the FBI, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Chaffee County Sheriff Office nor the 11th Judicial District Attorney's Office suggested over the past three years that Barry "was in any area south of his home, near Moffat or anywhere near Saguache County at any relevant time frame," Eytan said, adding that "t would be ludicrous for anyone to now try to fit the now known facts to prior false assumptions and accusations."

No signs of human remains or blood were ever located near the Morphew home in Maysville or in their family vehicles, Eytan said.

DNA was found, however, on Suzanne Morphew’s glovebox. The partial profile investigators were able to obtain matched profiles developed in sexual assault cases out of Chicago, Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona, CBI agent Joseph Cahill said during a hearing in 2021, as The Denver Post reported. Barry's DNA did not match that sample, his lawyers told KUSA-TV at the time.

"What needs to be done instead of pointing fingers at Barry Morphew, is asking the officials about the number of missing people and number of human remains that have been recovered in or from Saguache County in the recent past," Eytan continued.

Suzanne Morphew was a teacher in Indiana prior to moving to Colorado. (Handout)
Five people have disappeared or been found dead in that same area, she noted, including Morphew, Quintana, Kristal Reisinger, an unidentified man whose remains were found on July 26 and another unidentified person whose remains were located in Saguache County last weekend.

Text messages from Suzanne and Barry that were unsealed in June suggest they were both having affairs just before her disappearance.

Four days before her disappearance, Suzanne sent Barry a text saying she was "done." "I could care less what you’re up to and have been for years," she wrote, adding that they needed to figure things out "civilly."

 

[Guess Who]

That's all assumption.

No. That's a fact. That is exactly how they are handled.

 

[Guess Who]

That's all assumption.

The assumption is that it is whomever did anything to her is responsible for it.

Just answer my question about BM. What ties it to BM?

His dna would be already found on items in the household. What are you eluding to on this? I'm not understanding. Everything BM lied about ties him to it. Read just the first 10 pages of the affidavit. Just the first 10! I haven't gotten any further than that and it totally blows everything about his "story" of his version of what happened. Just read the part about the last signs of life of her being at home - not on a bike ride - , BM unexpectedly coming home as she is on her phone with her boyfriend, then poof. No more SM after BMs story of chasing squirrels.
