I was replying to your post about the girls not living with them. One of them does which is referenced in the spoiler. They were on a camping trip when this 'event' took place which is accurate in the daily mail article.
I was referring to the same and thought perhaps once the school year ended, that one moved as well based on comments I have read, although admittedly that is not a solid source. Again I can't confirm it so it certainly can come down if not true and, in fact, they all can. I try not to bring too much of that kind of thing in and perhaps shouldn't have, I only mentioned things that seemed to be a consensus of locals. I do agree there is no confirmation of it though.
 
Really quite on this case today...

Here are some aerial shots of the Morphew home from this morning. Two law enforcement vehicles are in the driveway. The sheriff said the home is one of the many areas of focus during this investigation. Search warrant is sealed (per usual with cases like this).

Consider the sources.

On Wednesday, the Daily Mail reported that sources said Morphew’s bike was recovered from a bridge near her home in the remote Colorado town. The same Daily Mail report showed photos of what appeared to be investigators carrying evidence bags as well as a parked Crime Scene Investigation truck, and the report stated that police had been searching the home on Tuesday The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office had earlier corrected a local report published on Tuesday evening, making the same claim. But on Wednesday evening, following questions about the photos published in the Daily Mail, the sheriff’s office released a statement confirming that authorities had obtained a search warrant for the Morphew home as part of the ongoing investigation into her disappearance, and stating the the home was one of multiple focus areas. The warrant is sealed by the court.

I was thinking the same thing today, that even though LE has been pretty mum on this case from the start, media has had something about it just about every single day. I did a search or two a couple of times today and did not find much new.

It reminds me of the Gannon case in that LE was quiet (it was Leticia that kept talking, etc.), searches were even kept fairly quiet of the area and of the home and some time passed and all of a sudden we had an arrest, and not too long afterwards his body found... I get that feeling here, same state too, maybe I am wrong but something is imminent, it may be weeks out and it may be tomorrow but I feel they know what we do not know. JUST my speculation though and opinion.
 

‘Kind of odd’: Husband of missing woman Suzanne Morphew sounds ‘flat and monotone’ in plea for her return, says expert

On Thursday’s episode of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, deception and body language expert Susan Constantine weighed in on a video plea made by the husband of a Colorado woman who has been missing close to two weeks since her Mother’s Day disappearance.

“To begin with he says, ‘Oh Suzanne,'” Constantine said. “Usually when somebody says ‘oh,’ there’s usually a strong emotion. There’s fear, maybe there’s some sympathy behind it … It’s kind of an odd way to open up with. And then he uses the word ‘if.’ ‘If you can find her, if she is out there’ … that kind of struck me as kind of odd.”

Constantine pointed out more “odd” moments from Barry Morphew’s statement, particularly in places where he pauses, which generally means, she said, that the speaker is “gathering his thoughts.”

“There was a short pause when he says “if there’s anyone that has you,” … in his own language, it seems to appear, it seems like he’s holding back information.”

Another pause comes with the statement “no questions asked.” “I thought that was a really odd statement, right in the middle of it,” Constantine told Grace. “I am so concerned that I don’t wanna known what happened … I think that was embedded in there for a particular reason.”

Finally, Constantine noted Morphew’s voice inflection as he says things like “I love you” and “I miss you.”

“His voice inflection is very flat and monotone … it doesn’t bring me to feel that emotion that he’s missing his wife.”




‘Pacing around, staring out windows’: Chaffee County Fire Chief addresses questions about missing Suzanne Morphew’s husband Barry Morphew

As the search for missing Colorado mother Suzanne Morphew continues, a fire chief who works with Suzanne’s husband Barry Morphew has weighed in on some pressing questions about the circumstances of Suzanne’s mysterious disppearance.

CrimeOnline reached Chaffee County Fire Chief Robert Bertram, who confirmed that Barry Morphew is one of about 40 volunteer firefighters in the county. Asked if he had any information about a possible training that Morphew had attended on May 10, Bertram said it was the first he’d heard of it.

“Due to [the coronavirus pandemic], our firefighters have not been attending any trainings sponsored by us,” Bertram said, adding that sometimes firefighters will pay for training courses on their own. The fire chief said he had heard, rather, that Morphew had been working a landscaping job in Denver on May 10.


The fire chief has not had direct contact with Barry Morphew since Suzanne disappeared, but has spoken to firefighters who have. He said that Barry is staying with a friend in the area, “pacing around, staring out windows,” hoping for information about his wife. The friend is not a member of the fire department, Bertram said, though some Chaffee County firefighters have seen Barry at the friend’s home since the investigation began.
 
This is 13 minutes about but it really gives a lot of views, close-ups, all the way around the home, shots from afar and from near right down to patio furniture, etc. and more detail.

Clearly no one would see what went on at this property nor see anyone leave imo. They basically live in the forest. As beautiful as this setting is, I don't think I would ever choose to live there and in fact I believe it is most men's dreams and not women's. It looks so very isolated. If the security system was not working, she would be a "sitting duck". The house is probably beautiful but the number of roof lines I find a bit ridiculous. Anyhow, this is a very clear video.

I would think that i would move there in a heartbeat! My kind of setup.

I love privacy and rural places but not so sure on this one. I like sun more than shade and it would really depend on who lived with me and how far it is from everything. Not a big fan of winter and moutain roads either. It is beautiful, no doubt.

So, where did the firefighter training story come from? Was it out of the mouths of her husband, or someone else? Like a bad newspaper report?
 
Same here. When my ex and I built our $2,200 ft² house, I hated having to clean that thing. Lol I prefer my little cottage.
Yes, not too many years ago I dreamed of bigger but no longer. The older we get I guess. We want room when children are at home I think for one. I also am not enamored with more than one level anymore either. I love a one level home and stairs can stay as things for others lol.

I just wish mine was a little bit bigger, but more that it was arranged better. I would add on before I move to something else, more likely though.
 

Investigators searching Salida property in connection with Suzanne Morphew disappearance

Investigators are searching a Salida property in connection with the disappearance of Chaffee County woman Suzanne Morphew, the sheriff’s office said Friday.

Investigators with the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and FBI are now searching a residential property on the east side of Salida, according to a Friday news release. They said the search is “based on information developed during the Suzanne Morphew missing person case.”

“The property owner is fully cooperative with law enforcement and is not connected with the disappearance of Ms. Morphew,” investigators said in the statement.

No other details about the search were released. Investigators said they don’t know how long the search will take.

At Highway 50 & 240, close to Suzanne Morphew’s home, there appears to be a heavy law enforcement presence, with several evidence trucks in tow.

Reached by phone, Chaffee County Fire Chief Robert Bertram told CrimeOnline that he believes investigators have blocked an area of County Road-105. He said that he had been told by a close friend of Suzanne’s husband Barry Morphew, who works as a landscaper and a volunteer firefighter in Chaffee County, that the increased police presence is at one of Barry Morphew’s former or current residential job sites. The Chaffee County Fire Department is not working with the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office in the search for the missing mother, but Bertram had previously told CrimeOnline that some firefighters had volunteered to participate in an independent search.
