Suzanne and Barry Morphew

Suzanne Morphew, 49, was a beautiful wife and mother who vanished without a trace on Mother’s Day 2020. Her husband, Barry, and two daughters were out of town, so Suzanne went on a bike ride. Her bike was later discovered down a rocky ravine, but no signs of Suzanne. On the surface, the Morphews had the perfect life, recently relocating to Colorado and living in their $1.5 million dream home. Soon however the investigation revealed many cracks in the Morphew’s marriage and investigators homed in on Barry Morphew, realizing he was not the perfect husband he claimed to be. Sources:

00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:02.879
Hi, I'm Tina, and I'm
Rich. And if there's one thing we've
2
00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:06.160
learned in over twenty years of marriage, it's that some days you'll feel like
3
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.800
killing your wife, and some days
you'll feel like killing your husband. Welcome
4
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:29.239
to love, Mary kill, Hey
Rich, Hey Tina, how are you.
5
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.439
I'm doing good. How are you? I'm great? And hello to
6
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:37.200
our Hello. I said that very
oddly, as you know, if you've
7
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.520
listened, I don't speak well coherently
or clearly. Okay, but I was
8
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.079
going to say, welcome to our
listeners. Hi, listeners, every single
9
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.600
one of I'm grateful for all of
them. Yeah, happy to have you
10
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:55.000
today. I'm looking forward to hearing
about this case. This is the second
11
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.799
case I've done this week. So
Tina's a little a little tired. Tina
12
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.760
missus watching Bravo and reading books and
other things. You should take a couple
13
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.400
of days off after this. We
really we really can I miss when we
14
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.359
had eight episodes? Yeah, we
don't anymore. So. Yeah, it's
15
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.640
hot here. It is so hot. It's really hot. It's a weird
16
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.120
like there's a lot of weird news
going on this week too. We had
17
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.079
right, I know you've we've moved
on. But yeah, this the submersible
18
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.480
was big news. But now we've
got this rush of news, which is
19
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.040
crazy. Yeah, it's pretty nuts. And we just had a we just
20
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.200
had a fun completely unrelated. We
just had a fun little excursion to the
21
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.799
gas station. The nice segue,
right, completely recruiting to snacks. Well,
22
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.000
yeah, we decided to go to
the gas station because they didn't have
23
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.879
any snacks prepared. Little Snack talked
about this before. But we live out
24
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.799
in the country and it's fifteen minutes
to the nearest to any store. Really.
25
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.319
Yeah, I'm not sure why we
live here, but we do.
26
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.719
But there's a gas station down the
road five minutes and sometimes we go there
27
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.480
on little gas station dates and get
a nice soda. It's actually a really
28
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.360
good gas station too. It has
a really good guess, it's a weird
29
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.080
gas station, but they have a
lot of like weird it's kind of it
30
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.280
just has a weird vibe to it, but they have a good variety of
31
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.159
like snacks they do. It's I
think gas station snacks are really the best
32
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.719
other than homemade snacks. So you
picked out a snack and I picked out
33
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.479
Yeah, I picked out because I've
had this before. I picked out a
34
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.199
Michigan stack kind of on purpose because
we like our we like our Michigan snacks.
35
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.800
But they are potato chips, great
Lipranda's Great Lakes. They're made in
36
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.360
Traverse City, which is one of
our favorite places place to visit if you
37
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.120
ever have the chance. We're thinking
about moving there. Not in the next
38
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.199
year or two, but eventually we
probably think maybe maybe we shouldn't have this
39
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.879
conversation about long life right now,
or we could listeners way and where should
40
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.919
we move and when? And when? Oh that's yeah, okay, never
41
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.719
mind, all right. So these
are kettle cooked potato chips, Michigan cherry
42
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:07.439
barbecue potato chips. So Traverse City
is known for cherries, right. I
43
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.800
was going to talk about that in
an upcoming episode, But yeah, Michigan
44
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.240
is known for We have a lot
of cherries in Michigan. There's some I
45
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.800
can't remember the number, but it's
a very high percentage of the world's cherries
46
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.680
are grown. That's why I was
going to talk about it and later because
47
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.199
so I could break that down.
But yeah, we all just know we
48
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.719
have a lot of cherries and they're
great, they're delicious, So we have
49
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.319
a lot of cherry products. We
have a lot of cherry stores. If
50
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.159
you're a friend of mine, I've
probably sent you a package from Cherry Republic,
51
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.719
which is a we should actually do
some snacks from cherry. That's just
52
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.400
a fun place they have. I
love it so much because it's usually in
53
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.599
a lot of the cool resort towns
up north. There's actually one here in
54
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.199
ann Arbor. But they always have
samples of every single thing they sell in
55
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.080
the store. Yeah, and if
you are hungry, you just stop in.
56
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.479
And we have done that on occasion
when we've been at a trip.
57
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.800
But we've also given them lots of
money, so I don't feel too bad
58
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:00.639
in them a lot of money.
Yeah, all right, And what did
59
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.240
you bring? All right? Well, I brought something completely different and unrelated.
60
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.159
This is actually pretty bizarre and I'm
not sure I'm gonna like it or
61
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.439
not, but it smells funky.
The brand name is Oinks, which that's
62
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.879
gonna tell you right there. This
is a little bit different. But it's
63
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.319
applewood smoked chocolate covered bacon. Yeah, that's it sounds good. But I
64
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.439
but I opened the package, I
was like, oh, I don't I
65
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.000
don't know about that. It's like
one piece of bacon in a package with
66
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.839
chocolate coating. Around ninety calories.
I should mention the chips too, really
67
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.879
quick. There's a lot of different
varieties. It's not on this bag,
68
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:40.120
but you can mail order them.
My favorite I think they only have in
69
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.120
the fall. They have these purple
chips or purple potatoes. Oh, those
70
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.439
are my favorite. But cool,
all right, you want to take a
71
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:56.399
minute. Let's take a break and
try these lovely snacks. Well would you
72
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.279
think? I thought the chips were
delicious, were delicious? And the wink
73
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.360
what are we calling it? The
apple wood smoked chocolate covered bacon. It
74
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.079
wasn't It wasn't great. I didn't
love it. Yeah, it just has
75
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.319
the process the taste of process bacon. Yeah, it was kind of ichy.
76
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.319
I don't think. I don't know. I know people like to put
77
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.839
bacon in different flavors and things,
but chocolate and bacon, Yeah, it
78
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.360
just doesn't go together for me.
Well, now you've maybe given me a
79
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.959
challenge. I bet if I took
like a crisp a piece of crispy bacon
80
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.279
and dipped it in chocolate, made
version of it, Yeah, I think
81
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:31.839
that would be good. Maybe well, I would definitely try it. A
82
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.480
big fan of cost the Costco thick
cut bacon, but you you're not as
83
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.079
much you'd rather have prefer or like, yeah, I think that with the
84
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.480
chocolate though. Okay, never mind, we're talking about too much about snacks.
85
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.600
But yeah, I definitely recommend the
Great Lakes. Can you read the
86
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.240
package Michigan cherry potato chips. Yeah, those were good. Yeah, They're
87
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.160
great, really great, excellent.
Well, I guess we didn't really describe
88
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.040
the flavor. Well, they're kind
of like barbecue chips, but they're really
89
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.480
good cherry, a little bit of
a cherry, just a little bit of
90
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.759
a cherry hint. And the barbecue
sauce is like a sweeter sauce. So
91
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.560
I think it's a neither of us
have eaten today, so I think we're
92
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.560
a little hungry, but the chips
are really good. All right, all
93
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.240
right, we're gonna get onto some
true crimes. Yes, today we're here
94
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.879
to talk about the case of Susanne
and Barry. More. I you which
95
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:26.319
is we're recent? Like how recent? Twenty twenty? Oh? That is
96
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.519
recent. I feel like I've heard
of this case, but I can't,
97
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.319
you know, my memory is so
bad, I can't remember it. I
98
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:38.759
hadn't really heard of it until I
heard of it. We're gonna start with
99
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.720
a clip. Oh, Susanne,
if anyone is out there, I can
100
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:48.399
hear this that has you. Please, We'll do whatever it is to bring
101
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:54.879
you back. We love you,
we miss you. Your girls needs no
102
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:00.399
questions asked. However much they want, I will do whatever it takes to
103
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:10.560
get. What'd you think of that? Sounds like your classic husband making a
104
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.720
plea That might be disingenuous, but
I don't know. Well that was Barrymore
105
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.319
If you husband of Susanne, the
woman who is missing? Okay, all
106
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.959
right, here we go. Susanne
Moore Afew forty nine disappeared on Mother's Day,
107
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.000
May tenth, twenty twenty. Her
husband, Barry fifty two, a
108
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.399
landscaper, left for a remote job
three hours away at five am. The
109
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.959
More Refuse had been together for thirty
two years, since Suzanne was seventeen.
110
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.600
Barry didn't want to wake up his
sleeping wife, but he texted her later
111
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.160
that morning to wish her a happy
Mother's Day. She never responded. Her
112
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.600
daughter's Mallory twenty and Macy sixteen,
were away on a camping ship in Idaho.
113
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.720
So Suzanne, who had recently taken
up mountain biking, went for a
114
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.560
ride, but she never returned home. There hasn't been a single sighting of
115
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.560
her since May ninth, twenty twenty, and her body has never been recovered.
116
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.240
She vanished without a trace. Sheriff's
deputies found her blue mountain bike down
117
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.240
a rocky wooded ravine less than a
mile from her home. They thought the
118
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.680
scene looked staged. Had she fallen
down the ravine, her bike would have
119
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.199
suffered more damage or the foliage would
have been trampled. Her helmet was found
120
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.120
several days later on the side of
a highway, almost as if someone had
121
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.040
pitched it out of a car window
as they drove by. Suzanne did not
122
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.320
take her cell phone, sunglasses,
or candleback hydration unit on Mother's Day,
123
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.960
all of which she typically took along
on a bike ride. And if your
124
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.799
kids are our way in a camping
trip, you would never leave your phone
125
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.000
behind. If I go to the
bathroom, I'd take my phone. I
126
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.120
mean, if our kids are not
you always, if you're a mom,
127
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.320
you always have your phone on you. Yeah, Suzanne renee Mormon. More,
128
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.279
if you was born on April thirtieth, nineteen seventy one. She was
129
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.320
raised in Alexandria in Danna. She
and Barry moorefew met when she was seventeen
130
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.080
and still in high school. He
was three years older. Suzanne was smart,
131
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.600
beautiful, and popular. She even
landed a spot on the homecoming court.
132
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.559
Barry, a star athlete, was
drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays to
133
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.159
play baseball, but he suffered a
career ending injury early on. They both
134
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.759
attended Purdue University and West Lafayette,
Indiana. When Suzanne was twenty, she
135
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.320
was diagnosed with an aggressive form of
non Hodgkin's lymphoma. It was a trying
136
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.559
time for the young couple, but
with Barry by her side every step of
137
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.639
the way, Suzanne beat the cancer. She was so weak from the chemotherapy
138
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.600
at times Barry literally carried her.
They were both very religious and prayed that
139
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.879
they would still be able to have
the family they both so desperately wanted.
140
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.720
They were married in nineteen ninety four. Barry began a successful landscaping company BLM
141
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.879
Landscaping. Suzanne got a job as
a middle school teacher, but soon became
142
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.840
pregnant. Despite doctors having cautioned her
it would be difficult for her to conceive
143
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.159
after having gone through such rigorous rounds
of chemotherapy with a cancer in remission.
144
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.159
Mallory was born in the year two
thousand and Macie came along four years later.
145
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.399
Completing their family. Suzanne quit her
job and became a stay at home
146
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.399
mom. They were a beautiful family
with a seemingly perfect life. Whenever you
147
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.639
say seemingly perfect life, he ever
you know something bad's coming. Suzanne was
148
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.879
a wonderful mother. Her daughters adored
her and she adored them. Suzanne was
149
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.879
known to be generous and kind.
In twenty thirteen, she started a non
150
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.200
profit charity after she received an adheritance
from her mother. She named it the
151
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.080
Suzanne R. Morphew Hope Foundation.
The foundation's mission statement is quote the Foundation
152
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.320
was formed to address needs of children
in various global locations by showing the love
153
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:52.000
of Jesus Christ intangible ways to address
recognize needs. End quote. I'm not
154
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.080
sure how active the charity was,
but they did go to an African orphanage
155
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.279
and plant an orchard, and they
taught them how to take care of the
156
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.399
trees. They also made building improvements
to the orphanage and to the housing for
157
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.720
the pastors and Christian workers. When
it was time for Mallory, the eldest
158
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.000
of the two daughters, to pick
a college, she decided to go west
159
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.960
and attended Western State Colorado University in
Gunnison, Colorado, located in central Colorado.
160
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.639
Barry and Suzanne hated the idea of
her being so far away, so
161
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.519
they decided to pull up their roots
and moved to Colorado too. Oh wow,
162
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.440
where they were in Indiana at this
point they were still in Indiana.
163
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.559
Yeah, they'd been in Indiana their
whole lives, and they were, like
164
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.120
you think she was happy. She
was thrilled to have the support and love
165
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.879
of her family in the same state. Okay, much like her son is
166
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.960
so happy when we talk about moving
moving up north where he's going to college.
167
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.840
Yeah. Yeah, before they're a
big move, Suzanne discovered she had
168
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.960
relapsed and the cancer returned. She
considered staying in Indiana to get treatment from
169
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.159
the same team of doctors that had
cured her the first time, but she
170
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.600
decided the move would be good for
her and Barry. Might seem like a
171
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.480
crazy decision, but the more if
yous were really active people who love the
172
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.720
outdoors, and Colorado just seemed like
a great fit for them. It is
173
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.679
a beautiful place, and I should
take a minute here to tell you like
174
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:20.120
these people are. They're beautiful people, and they're just really healthy. And
175
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.039
you can tell active outdoorsy. Yeah, Suzanne, she liked to be outside.
176
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.399
They both did. They like to
a landscaper, right, so he'd
177
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.720
spends a lot of his time outside
exactly. Despite her illness, Susanne seemed
178
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.639
to be doing well. She tried
not to let the treatments slow her down.
179
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.440
She was very active, working out
daily and enjoying her new mountain biking
180
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.240
hobby. Prior to vanishing, Suzanne
began confiding in family and friends that she
181
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.360
was unhappy in her marriage though,
and she wanted to leave her husband.
182
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.759
She had over sixty items saved on
her notes app on her phone titled Grievances,
183
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.360
describing the abuse, both verbal and
physical, she suffered from her husband.
184
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.919
I don't have a grievances file in
my I'm glad to hear it.
185
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.360
I could, but I don't.
Yeah, well, we all have our
186
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.480
grievances. What do you mean,
you know? Among the notes was wedding
187
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.879
ring Barry had allegedly taken her ring
and had it melted down at some point.
188
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.279
Oh, Barry was the man of
the house and made all of the
189
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.440
decisions for the family, especially financial
decisions. Susanne's sister Melinda, described her
190
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.440
relationship with Barry as codependent. She
relied on him for everything. So not
191
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.639
to dwell on any point. But
do you have a you have a grievance
192
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.279
file on your phone. I don't
have a grievance file. You just file
193
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.679
them in your Everyone has grievances about
their spouses, maybe not quite as serious
194
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.519
as Susanne and Barry. But oh
well, do you want to do you
195
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:48.480
want to go into it? Do
you want a dull deeper into that right
196
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.039
now? Or you should? We
should do that as a bonus episode the
197
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:58.200
air the airing of grievances episode,
it'll be like a sixty eight part series.
198
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:01.960
We're gonna have to We're definitely gonna
have to charge people for that one,
199
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.200
because people. I think we should
pay people to listen to our grievances,
200
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.120
like maybe a professional. Oh quiet, Everyone loves to hear about other
201
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.600
other people's grievances. I really don't
have anything. Thanks so much, Thanks
202
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.480
so much. Four days before her
disappearance, she sent Barry a text that
203
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.799
said, quote, I'm done,
period. I could care what you've been
204
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.759
up to for years. Period.
We just need to figure this out civilly
205
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.320
end quote. Barry responded, quote, I promise you are wrong about all
206
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.240
the crazy things you think about me, only a fool which stray from an
207
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.360
angel like you. When I'm dead, which won't be long, you guys
208
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.000
will be taken care of. End
quote. When did this text exchange happen?
209
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.799
Not long before her disappearance, Barry
was described as suicidal. He said
210
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.759
he would soon be seeing his savior. But this was a pattern that Susanne
211
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.440
and Barry repeated. Anytime she would
voice that she wasn't happy, he'd become
212
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:05.000
depressed, suicidal, and promised to
change. Susanne texted her friend, he
213
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.559
won't speak of divorce. He's begging
for another chance. I'm so torn,
214
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:13.200
but in my heart I know who
he is. The girls were both aware
215
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.639
of the troubles and their parents' marriage. Mallory usually sided with her father and
216
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:22.720
Macy with her mother, so Suzanne
and Barry moved to Salida, Colorado in
217
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:28.200
April twenty eighteen. They paid nearly
one point six million dollars for a beautiful
218
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.559
home in the mountains. Barry sold
his landscaping business in Indiana and opened a
219
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:37.840
new landscaping business in Salida and also
worked as a contractor and volunteer firefighter.
220
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:43.480
After relocating, things were better between
the more used for a time. They
221
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.879
both loved the mountains and bountiful fresh
air of Colorado, and Suzanne's sister actually
222
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.039
said that she was really happy.
It was hard pulling up the roots and
223
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.240
being away from family, but she
really loved, really loved Colorado and the
224
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.480
pictures that I've seen of their house
in the area, it's breathtaking. Yeah,
225
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.320
I'm sure if Colorado, Oh you
haven't. Oh yeah, well,
226
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.279
my brothers lived in Colorado for a
while and I went out there a couple
227
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.799
times. But yeah, it's just
it's beautiful, I know, I said.
228
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.159
Every time we do a case,
I'm like, oh, maybe we
229
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.840
should move to Australia, maybe we
should move to Colorado, but I would
230
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.480
definitely like to visit. Well,
one of my older brothers actually moved there.
231
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.639
He was driving across the country with
his wife at the time and they
232
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.240
just drove through Colorado and they were
like they fell in love with it,
233
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.080
and they were just like, let's
just live here, and they did.
234
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:36.440
I could honestly see that happening to
us. Yeah. Salida is Spanish for
235
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.399
exit. The Arkansas River exits in
Salida and flows into the Big Horn Sheep
236
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.600
Canyon. It's located in Chaffee County
in central Colorado, in the heart of
237
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.039
the Rocky Mountains, with an elevation
of about seven thousand feet. It has
238
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:53.480
a population of nearly six thousand and
an area of about two point seven seven
239
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.440
miles. Salida was once a stagecoach
stop and then a railroad stop. Over
240
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:06.680
stage coach stop is hard to say. Can you say it? No?
241
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.559
No? Come on, I think
the stage coach stop. I think the
242
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:15.039
bacon like messed up my mouth.
It has the largest historic downtown in Colorado.
243
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:21.599
Salida is known for its beautiful Sawatch
Range. That's hard to say Sawatch.
244
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.119
I might have said it wrong.
It's like one of you know how
245
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:30.240
the Rocky Mountains are divided into different
ranges. Salida is known for its beautiful
246
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.839
Sawatch Range. Outdoor sports such as
hiking, skiing, fishing, rafting,
247
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:40.079
and biking are all very popular.
Salida is also known for its one hundred
248
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.599
and forty degree hot springs that are
said to have healing powers, containing lots
249
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.000
of minerals such as boron, calcium, carbonate of lime, carmanate of magnesia,
250
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.319
iron, potassium carbonate, chloride of
potash, fluoride, lithium, and
251
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:59.240
sulfate of sode. I guess I
didn't needs, but it just sounds magical.
252
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.119
Yeah, it does one hundred and
forty degrees. He said, Yeah,
253
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.720
how hot is our hot tub?
Two? Yeah, that's really hot.
254
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.319
Yeah. I can't imagine. Yeah, but people go, hey,
255
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.559
I mean I think it would be
really cool in the wintertime. Yeah.
256
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:18.799
Despite being in Colorado, Salida has
relatively mild winters. It snows but less
257
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.720
than other parts of the state,
and the temperatures are generally warmer. If
258
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.720
you visit Solida, you might want
to take one of the many walking tours,
259
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.119
a ghost tour, a true crime
tour, or a Wild West tour.
260
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.400
Salida is home to numerous art galleries. It sounds like a great place
261
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.200
to live. Yeah, Solida,
it's very safe and the last violent crime
262
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.079
was in nineteen eighty. Oh wait
a minute, how do they have true
263
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.240
crime tours if it's very safe?
Well, I think it's like an Old
264
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:51.119
West type thing. Okay, I'm
sure Billy the Kid or CRUs Sweat,
265
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.920
No, which can in the Sunday's
Kid. They've used to live in Solida,
266
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.640
Okay, I'm sure of it.
Surely. After relocating to Colorado in
267
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.079
twenty eighteen, Suzanne reached out to
an old friend from high school, Jeff
268
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:12.400
Flibbler. They once had a brief
thing. She secretly messaged him on Facebook
269
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.559
quote how do you stranger? A
love affair of almost two years ensued.
270
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.640
They texted and spoke on the phone
daily. Where did he live? Was
271
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.599
he back in Indiana? And hold
on to your pants good? They spoke
272
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.039
on the phone, sometimes for hours. They talked about leaving their spouses,
273
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.240
getting married, and moving to Ecuador. I don't I don't know what the
274
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:38.079
draw was to Ecuador. Jeff is
married with six kids and lives in Michigan.
275
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:45.279
Oh not too far from here?
Really? Yeah? How old Michigan?
276
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.359
Really? Yeah? How is half
an hour away? Yeah? Yeah,
277
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.720
that's about the outlet mall is lovely
place. They have a big balloon
278
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.279
festival every year. That's really it's
this weekend. I know, yeah,
279
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.160
I wanted to go, usually go, but today's super hot, and we
280
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:06.160
have to record a podcast, and
tomorrow it's supposed to be thunderstormy, and
281
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.440
yesterday so the balloon l just to
talk about the blue launch for a second.
282
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:15.000
Balloon launches like they're Barry weather dependent, and if it's rainy or cloudy
283
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.279
or you know, they don't launch
them. So last night it was rainy,
284
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.960
so they probably didn't launch the probably
not today, they probably will laugh.
285
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.519
About a year into their rekindled friendship, they began sneaking away for getaways
286
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:32.599
together. They met up six times
between February twenty nineteen and May twenty twenty,
287
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.720
beginning in New Orleans, then Indianapolis, Dallas, Michigan, and Florida.
288
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.359
Barry had suspected Susanne of having an
affair and often checked her phone.
289
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.240
One time, while in Mexico for
vacation, he grabbed her phone while she
290
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.720
was talking to Jeff, but Barry
wasn't able to confirm who it was on
291
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.400
the other end of the phone.
Ironically, Suzanne thought Barry was having an
292
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:59.680
affair. Investigators found deleted from his
phone several visits to the Ashley Madison website.
293
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.319
Remember that, I remember that was
a big deal. How do you
294
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.720
remember that it was in the news
a lot. It was like, this
295
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.000
is twenty some years ago, and
actually I worked with a guy worked the
296
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.640
guy I worked for, the guy
who would travel and he would be like
297
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.319
he loved that website because he would
just kind it wasn't somebody I was close
298
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.400
to, but he would just brag
about like any city he would travel to,
299
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:29.200
he'd go on Ashley Madison and find
a find a woman. Oh you
300
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.759
know, and all the women were
married. It was just, oh well.
301
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:37.640
Ashley Madison is a discreet website where
people go to have extra marital marital
302
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.200
affairs. Their motto is literally,
life is short, have an affair,
303
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:48.079
which I mean today, I think
more people are actually in open relationships,
304
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.759
so yeah, I mean, if
you've got an agreement with your spouse,
305
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.799
then that's all cool. But yeah, I think most people who go on
306
00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.599
Ashley Madison are probably doing it in
secret. And yeah, Barry was for
307
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.960
sure. It's not clear if Barry
ever had an affair, but I think
308
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.079
he probably did. Jeff told a
story about how he and Susanne had hooked
309
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:12.039
up one summer during college when she
and Barry had been dating, and Barry
310
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:18.160
went after him one time Jeff's daughter
caught him facetiming Susanne and he told her
311
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.440
they needed to stop, and he
deleted all social media apps. But Suzanne
312
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.680
messaged him around Christmas time through LinkedIn
and they were kindled their relationship. So
313
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.799
they took a brief break, but
then they went right back to it.
314
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.160
Jeffett, I mean six kids,
that's a lot. Yes, that's tough.
315
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:40.359
That's why I guess I was hesitant
to say his name because whenever there's
316
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:45.640
children involved badly and he was still
married throughout all this. Yes, I
317
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:51.160
can't confirm if he is still married, but at the time he was young.
318
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.319
Jeff confirmed that they were in love
and considered each other their soulmate.
319
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:59.720
He said that Susanne had originally planned
on leaving Barry once Macy had left her
320
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.759
college, but by twenty twenty things
had gotten progressively worse between the couple and
321
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.920
she was finally ready to leave him. Suzanne and Jeff communicated through LinkedIn's messaging
322
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.440
and what's app, so you can
message. I don't have LinkedIn, but
323
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:18.480
you can have conversations. He said
that Suzanne rode her bike almost daily,
324
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.640
but usually not the trails near her
home. She usually threw her bike in
325
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.079
the back of her range Rover and
drove to a trail head. So he
326
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.240
thought it was unusual that her bike
was found so close to her home.
327
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.680
Is that making sense to you?
I think so because her bike, well,
328
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:37.960
I guess I didn't say this yet
her range Rover was still at home
329
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.440
and the bike was less than a
mile from her home, like you know,
330
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:45.759
kind of tossed off the trail,
gotcha. So it was unusual for
331
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.599
her to be riding on a trail
that close. I think shermally, she
332
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:53.920
would drive somewhere and then go riding
exactly. Jeff did not go to police
333
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.799
after Suzanne went missing. He waited
for them to come to him. He
334
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.000
claimed he didn't come forward because he
didn't want to ruin Suzanne's reputation or tarnish
335
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:07.559
her memory. He was also afraid
of losing his job and family. Of
336
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.640
course, police eventually tracked him down
in November of twenty twenty. They covered
337
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:17.839
their tracks so well that it took
the FBI over six months to find out
338
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:22.480
about their relationship. That kind of
crazy. That is crazy. After her
339
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:27.079
disappearance, Jeff deleted all of his
social media accounts. He has never been
340
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:33.599
seriously considered a suspect. He cooperated
with the investigation, providing his DNA and
341
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.079
gave authorities access to his eye cloud
and passwords to Hollis all his accounts.
342
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.640
He said he's not proud of his
actions, but assumed after Susanne went missing
343
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:45.160
that she was already dead and there
was nothing he could do about it.
344
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.119
It's kind of horrible, that's why
you would assume that. But yeah,
345
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:53.400
well, I think he knew that
she was in all right. Now,
346
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:59.119
we're going to go through a detailed
timeline of the days before her disappearance,
347
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.160
the day her disappearance, and what
happened after. On May six, Suzanne
348
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.880
wrote in her notes app on her
phone that Barry had accused her of having
349
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.079
an affair. On May nine,
which is the day she went missing,
350
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:17.160
Suzanne and Jeff texted fifty nine times, which records show was more than usual.
351
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:19.519
At two oh three, she sent
a selfie to Jeff and the message
352
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:23.720
quote, I'm just in love with
you. Watch up to end. Quote
353
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.079
this is the last proof of life
photo we have of Suzanne two nine,
354
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.079
two oh three, two or three. Yeah, So I think at this
355
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:36.200
point maybe she was just like,
you know, because a couple of days
356
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.079
before, she'd sent Barry that text
that said I'm done. So I think
357
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:45.039
she was done and maybe she was
trying less hard to cover up the affair.
358
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.200
Yeah. At two h six,
Jeff texts back and says, want
359
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.519
to strip down and get naked?
L ol. Suzanne responds, let me
360
00:25:52.759 --> 00:26:00.319
upload my What's app account. So
I'm assuming maybe she uploaded it like the
361
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.079
the app. That's kind of a
weird way to say it, like she
362
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.359
reinstalled the app or something. Yeah, I'm guessing that maybe she put it
363
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.079
like maybe they text. I don't
know exactly what happened, but I think
364
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.799
that they texted through the LinkedIn app
and then they used the What's App for
365
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.319
phase timing. Okay, does that
make sense? It could. Yeah,
366
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.559
I've never used What's App for video
calls, but I just checked and you
367
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.839
can indeed do that. Okay.
I don't have What's App, but yeah,
368
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.880
I know a lot of people use
it. At two elevens Susanne responds,
369
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.759
Okay, I'm on What's App,
or she says, I'm on WA.
370
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.319
It's unclear what happened then, but
I think Barry may have come home
371
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:44.079
and found Susanne and Jeff sexting okay. At two twenty six, Barry texts
372
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:49.480
done headed back. Suzanne didn't respond. Barry texts did you leave? Still
373
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:53.039
no response. He then gets home
and this is when things start to get
374
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:59.720
weird. His phone pings all over
the house and yard. Investigators speculate this
375
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:03.559
is and the couple was having their
last bit and maybe Barry is chasing Susanne
376
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:11.079
around. Barry claimed he was running
around his yard shooting at chipmunks. Okay,
377
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.119
I know that's a crazy apparently.
You know, they lived in the
378
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.960
mountains. There's a lot of we
had chipmunks. Remember at the old house,
379
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.599
we had that rock wall, and
chipmunks would kind of like go between
380
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.319
all the little rocks. So I
think the chipmunks at Berry's house were a
381
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:32.400
nuisance and what better way to get
get rid of u chipmunks than getting your
382
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:37.640
gun out. But there's no evidence
that he was shooting at chipmunks because there
383
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.680
weren't any shells or any holes in
the dirt or And did they live close
384
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.440
to other neighbors as well, or
were they kind of out on their own.
385
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.160
I think there was a fair amount
of space they had neighbors, but
386
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.039
you know, I'm not sure how
many, but I'm guessing several acres between
387
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.720
the neighbors. But I didn't know
that your phone could ping in your house
388
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.519
like that. I thought it was
just once your home, your home and
389
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:06.039
your phone. I always thought the
location when your phone pings off the tower,
390
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:08.599
It's like, I thought it was
pretty imprecise, how accurately they could
391
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:12.279
pinpoint it. So I'm a little
surprised too, unless they had a really
392
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:15.880
big property and he was, you
know, really all over the place.
393
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:21.359
Yeah. So at two thirty nine, two forty six, and two forty
394
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.480
seven, Jeff messaged Susanne, but
she didn't answer. He also messaged her
395
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:30.480
on May tenth and May eleventh and
got no response. Okay, so between
396
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:37.200
two forty seven pm and ten seventeen
pm, Barry's phone is an airplane mode.
397
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.880
Did you just save a blooper?
No, I don't believe you.
398
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.200
We need a lie detect her test
in here. Investigators believe this is when
399
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:51.480
Barry had killed Susanne and was disposing
of evidence and Suzanne's dead body. But
400
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.440
Barry claims after he returned home,
he and Susanne had a nice evening together.
401
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.200
He said it was a perfect day, one of the best they'd had
402
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.319
a long time, he said.
They put their phones away for the night,
403
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.880
he grilled stakes, and they made
love before going to bed. However,
404
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:12.079
investigators we were able to use the
digital vehicle forensics from Barry's forward truck
405
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:17.759
to determine that his truck was moved
one hundred feet closer to his house around
406
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:22.240
nine thirty pm. M interesting.
So this case, I mean a lot
407
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.559
of the cases that we've done,
but more recent cases, it's like,
408
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:29.720
no one, you can't get it. You can't get away with anything.
409
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.640
No. I mean, it's kind
of amazing. Your cars are like have
410
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:36.599
all this stuff on them. That
car wasn't super new. I think it
411
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:41.279
might have been even like a twenty
sixteen, but it still had all the
412
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.079
GPS and everything, and they can
go back and find all that. Yeah,
413
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:51.279
it's crazy. So May tenth,
at four twenty three am was the
414
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:55.960
last time Suzanne's cell phone pinged and
it pined at their house. Okay,
415
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.519
At five am, Berry claims he
left for a job and room Broomfield,
416
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.359
Colorado, one hundred and fifty miles
and three hours away. I think it's
417
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:08.759
near Denver. However, his vehicle
shows movement at three thirty am, but
418
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:15.759
then no movement between three forty nine
am and eight ten am. But he
419
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:19.319
definitely was on the road after five
am, So I think it's possible that
420
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:25.799
the your truck data is or your
card it's overwritten sometimes, so I think
421
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:30.799
the data was just overwritten because he
was definitely traveling. Okay, the telemetric
422
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.119
data from his truck shows that he
initially headed west, leaving his home when
423
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.599
he should have headed east to go
to Broomfield. Okay. He claims he
424
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:44.640
was following a bull elk, but
investigators believe this is when he disposed of
425
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.839
the helmet, which was found about
a mile from his home off the highway
426
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:53.920
with minor scratches, nothing consistent with
a major crash. Who would follow a
427
00:30:53.960 --> 00:31:00.440
bull elk at five A I don't
even know what he is. He is
428
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:06.160
an avid hunter. At eight ten
am, Barry is now in Broomfield and
429
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:11.200
throws away something at a bus stop
garbage can How do we know that from
430
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:17.920
a like a video video? Okay, there's so much. There's cameras everywhere.
431
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.519
At eight forty six Barry entered a
hotel. He was carrying two white
432
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.440
garbage bags, a backpack and a
pair of boots. He checked into the
433
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.759
hotel and went to his room.
At ten h six am, he left
434
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.119
his hotel room carrying the two white
trash bags and a pair of boots.
435
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.480
He places them in two trash bins
at a McDonald's that was near the hotel.
436
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.440
He continues on to a bank and
a men's warehouse store, and then
437
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.920
back to the hotel dumpster, throwing
something into the trash at each of these
438
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:51.039
locations. Now, had he planned
to stay in a hotel or like,
439
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.079
well, remember he's away at a
job site, right, but it was
440
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:56.880
away. It was three hours away. Oh, three hours away. Okay,
441
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.799
I'm sorry. He threw away a
camouflage jack get at one stop.
442
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.599
He told investigators he was just throwing
away junk because he didn't like paying to
443
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:08.799
dump trash. But he couldn't recall
what he'd thrown away, convenience. Do
444
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:13.119
you know what this made me?
Remember? Oh? Yes I did.
445
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:19.920
I didn't realize that dumpsters hand cameras
on it. Yeah, we didn't throw
446
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.119
away a dead body. But the
last time we were moving, and we
447
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:25.160
shouldn't say this on air, but
threw away a lot of stuff, a
448
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:31.039
lot of stuff at dumpsters like mattresses
and stuff. Oh, don't tell the
449
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:36.440
people in this bed. Yeah we
didn't. We didn't get caught though.
450
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.759
Well now we are growing to Oh, I can't believe you said that on
451
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:44.880
air Fugitives. I was like,
oh, we just threw away a couple
452
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.440
of old pots, but no,
you're like, you're going in full with
453
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.079
the mattresses. I think there was
a lot of paint cans too. Yeah,
454
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:53.319
yeah, oh my god, that
was horrible. Shame on us.
455
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:58.079
We dried the paint out though,
if that makes any difference. At eleven
456
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:01.079
thirty six am, Barry returns to
the hotel, changes his shirt and leaves
457
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:06.519
again. Between eleven fifty seven and
twelve to twenty five, I'm sorry there's
458
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:08.680
so many different times here. But
between eleven fifty seven and twelve twenty five
459
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:13.240
he went to check out the work
site in Broomfield where he and his crew
460
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.680
were going to rebuild a retaining wall
that they had built previously. The customer
461
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:21.839
wasn't satisfied, so it needed to
be redone. He said that cost him
462
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:25.240
thirty five thousand dollars. He only
worked for about fifteen minutes. And it's
463
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:32.319
actually a city ordinance that you cannot
work on Sundays in this community. At
464
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.119
twelve thirty eight, Barry returns to
the hotel, throws away several more things,
465
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:40.920
and then he's in his room from
twelve forty two until six z three.
466
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.319
He must be exhausted because it sounds
like he was up all night or
467
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:50.720
most of the night, like you
disposing of things. At three thirty pm,
468
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:55.640
he tacks Susanne call me. Mallory
contacted Berry sometime in the afternoon because
469
00:33:55.640 --> 00:34:00.759
she couldn't reach Susanne. Remember its
Mother's Day, Mallory called her neighbor,
470
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.319
Jeannie Ritter, to check on Suzanne
in the late afternoon. Sheenie could find
471
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:10.639
no sign of Susanne and called Barry
at five fifteen. Barry asked the neighbor
472
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:14.559
to go back to the house to
see if Suzanne's bike was in the garage,
473
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.639
which I thought was kind of a
strange. At five forty five,
474
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:22.199
Geenie calls back and confirmed the bike
was not there. Barry tells the neighbor
475
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:29.199
to call nine one one, which
she did around six pm. So Barry
476
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:32.840
then arranges hotel rooms for his crew
and gives them tools, including two shovels
477
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:36.960
that had been in his truck,
but he's a landscaper, so it's not
478
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.920
unusual that he has a shovel in
his truck. He gave one of his
479
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:45.039
workers his own hotel room, and
they later told investigators that the room smelled
480
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:50.400
heavily of bleach and it was during
COVID like this peak COVID season May of
481
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:55.159
twenty twenty. The hotel poll was
closed because of COVID protocols. At six
482
00:34:55.199 --> 00:35:00.719
pm, Barry heads home to Seleida
and calls police back, missing two of
483
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:04.960
their calls. They tell him that
Suzanne's bike has been found down a ravine
484
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:08.599
off a country road. Police noted
that the vegetation in the area was relatively
485
00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:14.199
undisturbed and didn't look like the sight
of a crash or attack, nor was
486
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.480
the bike damaged. It was noted
that the bike looked as if it had
487
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:21.679
been thrown down the ravine. No
blood or clothing were present at the scene,
488
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:24.039
making it unlikely that Suzanne had been
attacked by a mountain lion or other
489
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:28.719
animal. There's a lot of a
lot of wildlife in this area. Sure.
490
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:32.199
At eight forty pm, Barry arrives
at the scene and detective's note he
491
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:39.800
is very emotional Where's where's it?
Right? It was like this right down
492
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:57.000
here in this little bank. Here
we go, okay, my daughter,
493
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:02.800
Yeah you can go. How did
the bike cloked the way it was late?
494
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:06.199
That kind of looked like it,
but there's not really that lest it
495
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:15.960
shape by shade. I didn't see
anything, though, are not letting us
496
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:22.519
go to the site because they're getting
I know that wasn't the best clip,
497
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:24.880
but I just wanted to get the
point, like the emotion in his voice
498
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:29.800
and the fact that instantly he's like
mountain lion. Who was he talking?
499
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:32.360
He wasn't talking to the police there, right, It was like other bystanders
500
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:37.079
or somebody. They were police there
and bystanders. Okay. The girls arrived
501
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:43.840
soon after. More than seventy Chaffee
County police officers and detectives spent thousands of
502
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:47.920
hours searching for Suzanne, searching by
drone, aircraft, scuba divers, and
503
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:53.679
scent dogs. Their searches included a
residential construction site that Barry had worked on.
504
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:58.920
It was searched by law enforcement for
three days, but nothing was found.
505
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:04.400
Suzanne's brother also initiated a community wide
search for Susanne. So it's a
506
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.760
really nice community you know, people
have big hearts, and a lot of
507
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:12.920
people were searching for poor Suzanne.
Did they search berry in Susanne's backyard by
508
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:17.679
chance? I'm sure they did,
but they didn't find anything. The home
509
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:22.400
was neat and orderly, with no
signs of forced entry or attempt at robbery.
510
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:29.280
Susanne Oliver, Susanne's best friend,
became alarmed after Susanne hadn't opened her
511
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:36.079
snapchats. She contacted police and showed
her text to police between herself and Susanne
512
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.239
and so this is her best friend, so she has a Trevor treasure trove
513
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:46.719
of information. Suzanne told her in
one text that Macy so Malory's the older
514
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:52.480
daughter, Macy's the younger daughter.
Macy practically begged her to divorce Barry.
515
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.920
She said in another text, quote, I find no peace when he's here.
516
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:01.719
He won't speak up divorce. I
wouldn't feel safe alone with him quote.
517
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:07.400
Several friends told police that she was
unhappy in the marriage. When Mallory
518
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:12.239
and Macy were questioned, Macy admitted
that they fought a lot and it would
519
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:15.400
be better for them to separate,
but Mallory insisted that their marriage was loving.
520
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:21.880
Investigators found a spy pen when they
searched the more I few home in
521
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:27.039
a walking closet. A spy pen, you know, very I don't know
522
00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.679
what that is. I mean,
it's literally what it sounds like. Suzanne's
523
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.639
best friend had purchased the pen for
her to hopefully capture Barry in an illicit
524
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:40.519
conversation, who they suspected of having
an affair. The penn's recording capability is
525
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:46.320
activated once sound is heard. Ironically, the penn captured conversations between Suzanne and
526
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:52.719
Jeff Libbler. There was also a
phone conversation between Barry and Susanne recorded on
527
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:57.039
the pen in which they were fighting. Suzanne put the pen in Barry's truck
528
00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:59.800
one day when she knew he had
a long commute to a work site,
529
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.159
and the only thing it recorded was
Barry listening to several episodes of Forensic Files.
530
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.320
One episode involved a woman who went
missing on a bike ride. However,
531
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:12.159
there is no evidence that Barry was
having an affair, but there is
532
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:16.079
an unfounded rumor that he was involved
with a female landscaper, Morgan Gentile.
533
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:22.159
He had recently hired her to do
some work at his home. She denied
534
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:25.320
the affair and told the Daily Mail
that Barry had been acting strangely recently and
535
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.960
told her to go home early on
Saturday, May ninth because he had planned
536
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.960
to do something special with his wife. The next day, Barry asked her
537
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.440
to go to Broomfield on the remote
job. She recalled smelling Chlorine's soaked towels
538
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:42.159
in the hotel room when she and
her co worker entered the room. She
539
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.840
said she is scared of Barry and
never wants to see him again. She
540
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:51.000
cooperated fully with investigators and relinquished her
phone to them, and she said Barry
541
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:58.119
fired her after learning that she had
cooperated with law enforcement. Several men that
542
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.239
had attended high school with Suzianne were
friended by her and the week leading up
543
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:07.519
to her disappearance. This was probably
Barry trying to flesh out who she may
544
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:09.920
have been having an affair with.
He had the passwords to all of her
545
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:14.960
social media accounts, and there was
an email notification that Susanne had requested a
546
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:20.199
password change recently, So why would
that have been his way of trying to
547
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:23.719
figure out who she was having an
affair with? Like he's friending people that
548
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:27.679
she wasn't already friends with. Well, he was probably looking at her Facebook
549
00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:30.960
and trying to like look at the
messages, and most of the guys were
550
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.000
like, I was never even really
close friends with her. I don't know
551
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.800
why I got that friend request.
It just seems suspicious. Yeah, Barry
552
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:43.519
claimed Susanne, who was once again
in remission but taking maintance chemotherapy, was
553
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:47.280
drinking too much and the drugs made
her crazy. He said she was making
554
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:53.119
bad decisions. He said that's when
she would start talking about leaving him.
555
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:58.880
He said she began taking CBD gummies
and was also taking street drugs, and
556
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:02.960
her dealer might be a suspect.
No one else could corroborate. This isn't
557
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:07.480
that. Yeah, it sounds like
he's trying to throw suspicion in any way
558
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:09.599
he can set. You know,
those CBD gummies really make you crazy.
559
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:16.000
Just and the amount of men who
say their wife is crazy when they're actually
560
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:22.440
being abuse of bastards is staggering to
me too. Okay, this is a
561
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.800
pretty important piece of evidence that I'm
going to give you here. Investigators found
562
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:31.000
empty darts, I used needle that
was likely used to fill darts with tranquilizer
563
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:37.599
and a cap in the family's dryer. From a syringe. A dart gun
564
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:42.039
was also found, although the defense
would later say it was broken. Barry
565
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.480
was an experienced deer hunter, and
he admitted to police that he frequently tranquilized
566
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:50.559
deer by shooting them with a tranquilizer
dart, and then he would cut off
567
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:55.079
their antlers and sell them. So
he's a piece of garbage. The syringe
568
00:41:55.159 --> 00:42:00.559
was used to fill the dart with
tranquilizer and the captive the surringe contained Suzanne's
569
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:07.639
DNA. OH. Investigators think that
he hunted and tranquilized Suzanne. It takes
570
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:10.880
between four and twenty minutes before a
deer is fully tranquilized, so when Barry
571
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:15.639
was shooting chipmunks, he was probably
chasing Suzanne after he shot her with a
572
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:20.480
tranquilizer gun and waiting for her to
drop. That's a horrible thing. That
573
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:23.800
makes sense to you, It does. Yeah, it's horrible though, and
574
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:28.960
it could have been a lethal dosage. Law enforcement found an empty dart in
575
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.400
the yard and asked Barry White would
be there, and he responded, quote,
576
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:35.159
the first thing I thought of when
I came here and saw a deer
577
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:37.400
in my yard with big horns,
I'm like I'm gonna get them horns,
578
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:42.480
and I'll tell you exactly what I
did. I shoot them they go to
579
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:45.920
sleep, I cut their horns off. It's totally illegal. But you're gonna
580
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:51.400
find trank darts around my property because
I've done that. End quote. So
581
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.960
Barry, anytime the police had a
piece of evidence, he just hadn't he
582
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:59.440
had a reason for why that would
be there. Yeah, one live twenty
583
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:04.039
two caliber bullet was found by Susanne's
side of the bed. Missing was Suzanne's
584
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:08.679
journal and phone. Possible remnants of
Suzanne's journal were found in the fireplace,
585
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:14.039
and there was a crack in the
casing on the door and the primary suite
586
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:17.760
that Barry couldn't explain how it got
there, but the previous homeowners said it
587
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:23.079
hadn't been there before they'd moved.
Barry had scratches on his hands and arms.
588
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:28.280
It was noted that the scratches looked
like they came from fingernails digging into
589
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:30.800
his flesh. Don't tell me,
let me guess this is from his landscaping
590
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:36.000
job, was his reason. Actually, I don't. I don't have any
591
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:39.280
excuse on this one, but I'm
sure he had a way to excuse them
592
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:45.480
away. Between the contradictory statements,
his truck movements that discarded trash, and
593
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:51.320
a lot of other reasons, the
investigators started to hone in on Barry.
594
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.519
Barry said he didn't know about the
affair, but he would have agreed to
595
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:59.559
a divorce if that's what Suzanne wanted. He claimed he would have given her
596
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.280
half of everything. What a guy. And there were rumors that they were
597
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:07.280
having financial problems. I think Susanne
she must have had a separate account with
598
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.920
the money from She had an inheritance
from her mom and one from I think
599
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.920
a grandmother. Totally. I think
it was like almost half a million dollars.
600
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:21.119
And the conversation that was recorded on
the spy pen, you can hear
601
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:23.039
them talking about money, and he
was like, I'm going to make a
602
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:27.199
lot of money this year. Don't
worry about it. I'll pay you back.
603
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.440
So she must have loaned him some
money from either her separate account or
604
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:37.880
possibly the foundation. According to Southern
Colorado Fox News twenty one, a manager
605
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:43.679
at a small local market had a
strange encounter with Barried days after Susanne's disappearance.
606
00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:47.639
He handed her a receipt with a
message scrawled on the back it said
607
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:53.719
baby blue bike helmet, bike clothing
and that's it. He was like,
608
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.920
you know, trying to tell her, hey, if you've seen this woman,
609
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.320
and that's all he wrote. He
didn't write you know her height,
610
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.800
or her weight or anything like or
her color of her hair. Es.
611
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:08.760
It's very strange. Barry denied there
were any issues in his marriage. He
612
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:13.880
called it perfect. He offered a
one hundred thousand dollars reward, and a
613
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:19.320
family friend matched that, so the
reward is two hundred thousand dollars. When
614
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:23.440
questioned by police, Barry said,
I don't recall ninety five times. Barry
615
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:30.480
refused a polygraph, but gave thirty
to forty interviews between police, the FBI,
616
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:36.280
and other law enforcement agencies. Barry
gave the interviews against the advice of
617
00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:39.320
his attorney. Barry is one of
those smooth talking guy or a guy who
618
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:44.679
thinks he's a smooth talker, thinks
he can charm people, you know the
619
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:46.239
type I do. I think we've
done a lot of cases on people.
620
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:51.800
The problem with giving so many interviews
is that it's hard to keep track of
621
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.519
your story. And that's exactly what
happened to Barry. He told many,
622
00:45:54.599 --> 00:46:00.880
many different variations of what happened on
May ninth and May tenth. He's maintained
623
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:06.119
his innocence and believes Suzanne was kidnapped
by someone else or taken by a mountain
624
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:09.480
lion. I also read just last
night that he still thinks she's alive somewhere.
625
00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:15.320
What do you think the motive is, Well, it sounds like he
626
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.840
found out she was having an affair. Maybe, and maybe there was a
627
00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:23.960
fight, killed in a fit of
rage. Maybe not sure. Yeah,
628
00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:29.119
Barry seemed like he was obsessed with
wanting everyone to think that they had a
629
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:32.719
perfect marriage and a perfect life.
It was almost an obsession for him.
630
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:37.199
He did not want a divorce,
and he was also the kind of man
631
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:40.039
who would be infuriated at the thought
of his wife hiding a fair Like you
632
00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:45.559
said, the murder weapon, that's
a tough one. We don't really know.
633
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.360
We don't have a body, right, We don't have a body,
634
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:52.320
right. Barry had a lot of
guns. He was an avid hunter.
635
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:57.320
I think the most likely thing is
that he shot her with a tranquilizer dart,
636
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:01.000
even though it was allegedly broken.
But we don't know when it was
637
00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:07.760
broken, right. According to the
one hundred thirty page indictment Barry willfully misled
638
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:13.719
authorities by destroying evidence that his marriage
to Suzanne was deteriorating and that he was
639
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:19.199
involved in her disappearance and homicide.
Barry was arrested on May fifth, twenty
640
00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:22.079
twenty one, at a job site, almost a year after Suzanne's disappearance.
641
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:30.360
At the time of his arrest,
Chaffee County Sheriff John's Easy said, quote,
642
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.760
our belief is that Susanne is not
alive at this time end quote.
643
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:38.639
Investigators executed more than one hundred thirty
five search warrants, interviewed more than four
644
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:43.800
hundred people, and investigated more than
one thousand, four hundred tips about the
645
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:47.039
case. The police really worked hard
on this case. And to make an
646
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:52.239
arrest without a body's I know,
that's not common. It's hard to do,
647
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:54.440
so they must have. It's pretty
confident. Yeah, it's becoming a
648
00:47:54.440 --> 00:48:00.000
little more common. Barry was charged
with first degree murder, tampering with evidence,
649
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.800
tampering with a human body, possession
of a dangerous weapon, and attempting
650
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:09.599
to influence a public official. He
hired high profile attorneys from Denver, which
651
00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:14.599
was a smart move on his part. He pleaded not guilty and waved his
652
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:19.559
right to a speedy trial. He
was held without bail. A four day
653
00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:23.760
preliminary hearing was held in August of
twenty twenty one. A preliminary trial is
654
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:28.559
held to determine if there was sufficient
evidence to move forward with a jury trial,
655
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:32.440
and during this preliminary trial, it
was revealed that Barry once asked Suzanne,
656
00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:37.440
quote, how would you pay for
things like your medical bills for cancer?
657
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:39.960
Oh, if they got divorced,
how would Yeah? Sounds like she
658
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:44.559
had some money though she did.
Yeah, she did have her own money.
659
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.559
On another occasion, Barry pushed Suzanne
into a closet and put a gun
660
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:52.719
to his head and asked her if
that was what she wanted? And how
661
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:55.920
do we know that her best friend
had? Like she shared that? Okay,
662
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.320
yeah, she shared. I think
she shared everything with her best I
663
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:02.960
don't know if she knew about the
affair. Though. There was a bombshell
664
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:08.360
discovery during the hearing that pretty much
destroyed the prosecution's case against Barry. Male
665
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:15.119
DNA was found inside of Suzanne's range
rover on the glove box. A forensic
666
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:20.960
scientist called the DNA limited genetic data. It did not match Barry or Jeff
667
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:24.920
Libbler. The DNA was partially matched
to an unknown male that had been linked
668
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:30.880
to at least three unsolved sexual assaults
and Tempe, Phoenix, and Chicago.
669
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:36.400
There is no indication of how it
could have gotten into Suzanne's car. Wow,
670
00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:39.480
that's kind of crazy. It's totally
crazy. I'm hesitant to talk about
671
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:46.760
the DNA evidence because DNA is confusing, but I heard someone say that like
672
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:52.519
a partial DNA match, it doesn't
it excludes a lot of people. But
673
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:54.679
it also it's like they said,
it was like a phone number, like
674
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:59.000
the prefix of your phone number,
like if it's eight two four, for
675
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:04.239
example, like anyone else with an
eight two four, right, So it
676
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:08.119
narrows it down. And they happened
to find that this one person had a
677
00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:10.920
match, but could be a lot
of other people who had a match as
678
00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:17.039
well. I think so it's it's
it's very complicated, but I'm sure it
679
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.760
threw some doubt into the case,
though, I mean plenty of doubt.
680
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:28.280
Yeah, all that to say that
DNA is still an imprecise science. It's
681
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:31.880
not imprecise. It's just that,
like the trace, DNA is very complicated.
682
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:35.480
I think we've talked about this in
other cases, like just because the
683
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:39.480
DNA is there, sometimes it doesn't
mean that the person was right was committing
684
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:44.639
a crime. If the DNA isn't
there, it doesn't mean that the person
685
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.440
didn't commit the crime, like in
the Ellen Greenberg case that we just did
686
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:52.280
earlier this week. Like Sam's DNA
wasn't on the knife, but it doesn't
687
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:57.599
mean that he didn't touch the knife. Yeah, and it's also gotten DNA
688
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:01.599
testing has gotten so good too that
like you could touch something and then shake
689
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:05.760
hands with somebody else, and then
they could touch something else and your DNA
690
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:08.280
could end up on that other thing
even though you weren't anywhere near it.
691
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:10.320
Yeah, I think I'm going to
say this in a few minutes. But
692
00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:15.199
there was also DNA found on the
bike and the helmet too, But I
693
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:22.880
think that the police officers that handled
those things couldn't be excluded. So this
694
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:25.400
is all to say that I think
in this case that DNA is a red
695
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:30.199
herring, but it definitely gives questionable
doubts. Sure. The judge in the
696
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:36.079
case said that there are three scenarios
that could have happened to Suzanne. One
697
00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:40.239
she left willingly to marry killed her
and disposed of her body. And three
698
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:45.800
someone else killed her and disposed of
her body. He said, quote,
699
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.760
I find that the proof is not
evident, nor is the presumption that mister
700
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:54.360
mooreph you committed the first degree murder. I'm finding probable cause here, but
701
00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:59.239
it's only because I'm looking at all
of the evidence and the light most favorable
702
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:04.840
to the prosecute fusion end quote.
Does that make sense? I think so.
703
00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:08.000
It's just a lot of a lot
of words. I think he's saying
704
00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:15.239
that there's there's doubt, but there's
enough evidence to move forward. He ruled
705
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:20.679
that there was probable cause to go
to trial, but released Barry on a
706
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:25.000
five hundred thousand dollars cash bond because
he said there wasn't enough evidence to keep
707
00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:30.320
him in jail. He required Barry
to wear an ankle monitor and he could
708
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:34.559
not leave the county. But I
think that was later changed and they let
709
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:38.880
him, like go see his daughter
in college, Okay. On September twentieth,
710
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:43.760
twenty twenty one, when Barry was
released from jail, Mallory and Macy
711
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:47.239
were steadfastly by his side. They
have said publicly that they don't believe he
712
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:52.760
had anything to do with Suzanne's disappearance. They have been unwavering in their support
713
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:55.719
of him, but the same can't
be said for Suzanne's family, who were
714
00:52:55.760 --> 00:53:00.840
immediately suspicious of Barry. The trial
was slated to begin in April twenty eight,
715
00:53:01.039 --> 00:53:07.639
twenty twenty two. A new judge
was appointed after Judge Patrick Murphy recused
716
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:13.280
himself due to a conflict of interest
in another case. The defense filed emotion
717
00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:20.000
that the prosecution did not produce evidence
in a timely matter, including exculpatory evidence,
718
00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:25.480
mainly the DNA evidence found on Suzanne's
range rover, but there was also
719
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:30.760
on DA unknown DNA found on her
bike, helmet and in the house linked
720
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:36.880
to unknown males. The judge rolled
in the defense's favor. The penalty to
721
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:43.800
the prosecution was severe. Fourteen witnesses, including eleven expert witnesses in DNA,
722
00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:49.039
vehicle forensics, and cell phones,
were expelled from testifying in the trial,
723
00:53:49.360 --> 00:53:54.519
which made the case impossible for the
prosecution to move forward, especially because Suzanne's
724
00:53:54.519 --> 00:54:00.039
body had never been found. Even
before the expert witnesses were struck from testifying,
725
00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:05.039
it would have been an uphill battle
for the state without a body obvious
726
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:10.239
murder weapon, DNA, blood evidence, or eyewitnesses tying Barry to the crime.
727
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:14.800
The judge said, quote, it
is clear to this court there is
728
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:19.920
a pattern of discovery of violations in
this case attributable to the people. Their
729
00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:25.840
actions amount to negligent and arguably reckless
disregard end quote. In April nineteen,
730
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:31.280
twenty twenty two, the DA made
emotion to dismiss the charges against Barry mooreph
731
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:36.800
you without prejudice, meaning he could
be tried again if Suzanne's body is found
732
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:42.039
or new information or evidence come to
light. Probably smart because they were gonna
733
00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:45.159
they weren't going to win the case. It sounds like, isn't that crazy?
734
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:50.320
Though? I have never heard of
witnesses being expelled before. Yeah,
735
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:53.039
And I talked out, reached out
to our legal egal friend, Kelly,
736
00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:57.519
and she said she had never heard
of that either. Interesting. Well,
737
00:54:57.599 --> 00:55:00.440
essentially they eliminated all the expert witnesses
and that's really all that they had,
738
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:05.559
right, There's there's still some evidence, but yeah, not much of a
739
00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:08.880
case without all of them. Barry
and his attorneys hadn't been notified of the
740
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:14.719
dismissal in advance and were overjoyed by
this news. Prosecutors believed at the time
741
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:20.679
that they were close to finding Suzanne's
body. Court documents described the location as
742
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:25.159
quote a remote and mountainous region near
the more a few residents unquote. Their
743
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:30.840
intent was to excavate the location after
the snow melted, but unfortunately her body
744
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:37.280
still has not been located. It's
devastating, isn't it. As if Barry
745
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:40.880
didn't have enough legal troubles, he
was accused of forging Suzanne's ballot in the
746
00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:47.199
November twenty twenty presidential election. In
July twenty twenty two, Barry pleaded guilty
747
00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:52.559
to the charge of casting a fraudulent
fraudulent balot in order to receive a plea
748
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:55.760
deal. He voted for Donald Trump
and said he knew that's who Suzanne would
749
00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:00.679
have voted for. Quote just because
I wanted Trump to win, I thought,
750
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:04.639
why not give him another vote.
I know she was going to vote
751
00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:08.079
for Trump anyways. End quote.
When asked why he cast Susanne's ballot,
752
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:14.079
he said he thought the other guys
were cheating and he didn't know you couldn't
753
00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:19.079
do that for your spouse. According
to KKTV eleven, Barry was sentenced to
754
00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:24.400
a year of supervised probation and thirty
two hours of community service. Suzanne's sister,
755
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:29.599
Melinda Moriman said, I want the
world to know that my sister was
756
00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:32.800
the darling of our family. She
was the rose among thorns. That's what
757
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:37.679
I used to call her. At
a memorial event helped for Suzanne this Mother's
758
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.800
Day, her nephew Chris Morman said, quote, She's the warmest person God
759
00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:49.679
ever breathed life into. I can't
hear the John Prine song Summer's End without
760
00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:52.679
tearing up. I just want closure
for my family and for her daughters.
761
00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:59.000
End quote. He said she gave
the best hugs. Chris Mormon called in
762
00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:02.280
the public to ask wner Jared Polis
to appoint a special prosecutor to take over
763
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:08.559
Suzanne's case. Barry, Mallory and
Macy released the following statement this Mother's Day.
764
00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:13.400
Quote, we have heavy hearts today. We have missed our mom and
765
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:15.719
wife, Susanne Moore. If you
every single day for the last three years.
766
00:57:16.360 --> 00:57:22.679
We keep hoping that DA Stanley and
law enforcement will use every resource to
767
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:25.719
find her. End quote. And
like I said earlier, they still believe
768
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:31.039
she's alive somewhere. Here's a clip
of Barry, Macy and Mallory talking about
769
00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:36.039
the past, how the past three
years have affected them. What have these
770
00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:45.760
last three years been like for you? Very very sad, very confusing,
771
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:54.400
just so dramatic, like literally our
worst nightmare. Did you have anything to
772
00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:59.800
do with the disappearance of your wife? Absolutely not. It's very hurtful to
773
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:06.039
lose your reputation and your integrity.
That's heartbreaking to hear these girls. I'll
774
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:09.599
post a picture. There's just they
seem like the just beautiful, sweet girls.
775
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:15.119
They look a lot like their mom, and it's it's just heartbreaking.
776
00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:17.599
It really bothers me. Yeah,
I just hate when kids are put in
777
00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:22.519
that position, when you know they
lost one parent, and so they're putting
778
00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:25.920
a position where they either need to
turn against their other parent or support him
779
00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:30.280
even you know, if he was
guilty. And it's just it's hard.
780
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:35.480
It's a classic case of familial and
meshment. I'm going to give you a
781
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:40.320
few characteristics of that. In en
meshment, families lack boundaries, Children are
782
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:47.800
not encouraged to individuate and become emotionally
independent, intrusive or need equality to relationships,
783
00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:52.920
oversharing, or demands to know everything
about your life. You're expected to
784
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:59.840
conform to family norms and traditions.
Self expression is stifled. Parents may treat
785
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:04.840
children as friends or confidence. It's
not acceptable to have opinions, beliefs,
786
00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:09.199
or ideas that differ from your families. Fierce loyalty is expected. Guilt and
787
00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:14.480
shame are used to maintain the status
quo. So those are all really toxic
788
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:16.719
traits. Yeah, and I wanted
to give a shout out to our friends
789
00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:22.800
really quick. The Enmeshed podcast E
N M E S H E. D
790
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:28.480
Amanda and Pam are an adorable mom
and daughter and they have a podcast all
791
00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:35.599
about unhealthy family relationships and a couple
relationships. They cover the dark side of
792
00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:39.000
family dynamics. Sounds interesting. I
don't know if I had ever heard the
793
00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:42.559
term in meshment before, or if
I had, I didn't know what it
794
00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:46.960
meant. So it's kind of new
to me too. And I mean it's
795
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:51.199
it's interesting stuff and I can relate
to some of it, I'm sure.
796
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:54.159
I mean most people can. Yeah, a lot of people can. So.
797
00:59:54.280 --> 00:59:58.760
Barry is now assuming the State of
Colorado for fifteen million dollars. His
798
00:59:58.920 --> 01:00:04.199
legal team says the the state sat
on exculpatory evidence during the preliminary trial that
799
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:08.519
would have prevented the case from moving
forward, specifically the DNA. According to
800
01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:13.159
the Denver Post, Barry's attorney,
Iris Eaton, called for the state authorities
801
01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:20.480
to discipline or dis bar eleventh Judicial
District Attorney Linda Stanley and six other prosecutors
802
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:25.800
involved in the case in an eighty
six page request for investigation. Her complaint
803
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:30.159
is one of several pending against the
office of Attorney General Linda Stanley. The
804
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:36.280
complaint alleges that the prosecutors knew about
the DNA from the unknown male sex offender
805
01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:40.119
since October of twenty twenty and didn't
share the information with the judge, the
806
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:46.480
defense or included in the rest affidavit, and you know that discovery laws are
807
01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:53.280
their crucial. In April, at
judge throughout a first degree murder charge in
808
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:58.840
another case, reducing the charge to
second degree murder because of the violations against
809
01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:02.119
a prosecutor who was once again who
once again failed to deliver discovery documents in
810
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:07.119
a timely manner. The judge issued
a twenty one page order, including twenty
811
01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:13.679
cases that Attorney General Stanley's office had
been negligent in delivering information in a timely
812
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:17.840
manner. The office remains under investigation. Wow, it's unclear how this could
813
01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:23.000
affect Barry in the future. It's
interesting. It's so important that those things
814
01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:27.760
are handled correctly, and to all
your eyes and cross all your teas,
815
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:32.920
you know, to let criminals go
free is just a Barry has left the
816
01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:38.280
state of Colorado too to stress and
privacy concerns, and at the last the
817
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:44.239
last information I could find, he
lives with a girlfriend in Colorado. If
818
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:46.719
a case remains unsolved for three years, it is considered a cold case.
819
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:52.599
And Suzanne's case just passed the three
year mark. So that is the story
820
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:58.039
of Suzanne. More. If you
do you know what where Mallory and Macy
821
01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:00.360
are these days. I think they're
still in Colorado. I think they're both
822
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:05.280
in school in Colorado. So do
you think Suzanne could have been attacked by
823
01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:08.280
a mountain lion or other animal?
No. I think they would have found
824
01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:13.199
her remains. They would have found
something. It would have found a scrap
825
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:16.360
of clothing or blood on the rocks
or something like that. I hate to
826
01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:21.760
say this, but a landscaper would
definitely know how to get rid of a
827
01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:23.840
body. Yeah, for sure,
it's really good at digging holes. He
828
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:30.559
had some machinery. Yeah, Yeah, that's too bad. I think my
829
01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:35.920
opinion is that it sounds like he
did it, but it doesn't seem like
830
01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:38.239
there's enough evidence to bring it to
trial, especially with all that stuff that
831
01:02:38.280 --> 01:02:44.599
happens. So it's really sad that
she may not get justice. It's so
832
01:02:44.639 --> 01:02:46.800
sad, and it's so sad that
these beautiful young girls are sticking by their
833
01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:51.800
dad's side. In any picture I've
seen of them, they look just emotionally
834
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:54.440
drained. I'm sure they are.
Yeah. One thing that sticks out to
835
01:02:54.480 --> 01:02:59.199
me is it's Mother's Day and Barry
left at five am. He had no
836
01:02:59.280 --> 01:03:00.760
reason. He had no reason to
leave that Earlier he said, you couldn't
837
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:05.000
work on Sunday anyway, it can't
work on Sunday, and maybe leave,
838
01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:08.119
you know, in the at late
afternoon or early evening because it's not that
839
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:12.559
long of a drive. But he
left at five am. And like we
840
01:03:12.599 --> 01:03:16.079
talked about earlier, the partial DNA
match is crazy, but Barry did have
841
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:22.119
some friends that were in the police
department. M it's just so frustrating in
842
01:03:22.159 --> 01:03:25.480
this case that there's so little forensic
evidence. Yeah, and not finding a
843
01:03:25.519 --> 01:03:30.039
body that's so frustrating to It just
makes it so hard to get a conviction.
844
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:32.719
I think there's I think about this
all the time, but there's so
845
01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:38.159
many bodies that are hidden and buried
that we might never find. Yeah,
846
01:03:38.719 --> 01:03:43.280
it's horrible. Well, especially out
west too. So the next case that
847
01:03:43.320 --> 01:03:46.039
I'm working on also takes place out
west, and there's just so much space.
848
01:03:46.079 --> 01:03:51.320
I mean, there's so much open
space and desert. And I saw
849
01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:53.559
a video of I think it was
a police officer like pointing to the mountains
850
01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:57.960
in this case and saying, I
mean it could be anyway. Yeah,
851
01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:03.159
Oh, it's horrible. There were
cameras all over the exterior of the Morphew
852
01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:06.119
house, but I don't think they
captured anything. I don't know if they
853
01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:11.079
were turned off. I couldn't find
any information on that. The town of
854
01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:14.719
Salidah, which seems like, again, just a really nice community. They
855
01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:18.559
the past several Christmases have put up
a Christmas tree in Suzanne's honor and it's
856
01:04:18.599 --> 01:04:21.599
decorated with over two hundred ornaments.
It's kind of like they do in our
857
01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:27.239
town. How they have like like
the sponsored Christmas trees. So there's a
858
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.800
couple of things that I read on
Reddit that I always want to give a
859
01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:34.320
disclaimer when I get something from Reddit, because I'm not sure how reliable the
860
01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:41.880
sources. But so when susan Anne, when when Macie and Mallory couldn't reach
861
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:44.719
her on Mother's Day and they had
planned like people might say, why did
862
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:48.079
her daughters leave on Mother's Day?
They were had planned on returning later on
863
01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:51.079
during that, you know, and
having dinner with her or something. But
864
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:55.639
Mazie had a boyfriend and I think
she was like, hey, can you
865
01:04:55.679 --> 01:04:58.480
go check on my mom? You
know, and he was there when the
866
01:04:58.519 --> 01:05:03.119
police got there, and he noticed
Suzanne's helmet in the garage at that time.
867
01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:06.239
Oh interesting. I don't know if
he didn't tell investigators or maybe he
868
01:05:06.280 --> 01:05:11.400
didn't think it was important. And
also a woman said she saw Susanne at
869
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:16.559
a domestic abuse support group. So
there is a two hundred thousand dollar reward
870
01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:20.920
for any information, and I don't
want any of our listeners to think that
871
01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:24.280
they were going to get that money, because I'm going to call that hotline
872
01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:26.079
and I'm going to get the money
and say, hey, Barry, did
873
01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:31.239
it Okay? All right? So
that's all I have. Well well done,
874
01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:34.639
I'm really bummed out that there's no
justice in this case, at least
875
01:05:34.679 --> 01:05:38.800
not yet. I did want to
mention I want to mention this at the
876
01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:43.039
top of the episode, but I
didn't. I made a couple of errors
877
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:47.400
in the last in the Ellen Greenberg
episode, and I'm devastated that whenever we
878
01:05:47.480 --> 01:05:51.199
make a mistake, we try so
hard. But I'm devastated that I said
879
01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:55.480
her age wrong. At the very
top of the episode, I said Ellen
880
01:05:55.519 --> 01:05:59.280
Greenberg twenty eight. Ellen Greenberg was
twenty seven when she passed away, and
881
01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:01.400
I just feel horrible about that.
And I think you caught it in editing
882
01:06:02.199 --> 01:06:05.159
and I had just kind of rushed
through that script and I didn't go through
883
01:06:05.199 --> 01:06:09.400
it as you know. Yeah,
so that made me feel bad. And
884
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:14.280
then that episode, I also said
that there was a great forty eight Hours
885
01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:17.000
episode on that case. No,
there wasn't. It was this case.
886
01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:21.519
Forty eight Hours did a really good
job on this case. So I we
887
01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:27.039
watched so many things we read.
It's easy to get them when you're working
888
01:06:27.079 --> 01:06:29.679
on two cases at a time.
So I apologize for that. I feel
889
01:06:29.719 --> 01:06:32.840
horrible, But yeah, that's why
I never worked on two cases at a
890
01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:35.519
time, because I would not be
able to I would not be able to
891
01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:42.079
juggle that without getting I was planning
on like doing the Ellen Greenberg as a
892
01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:45.480
mini episode. I don't know,
because it's it's it's hard. And I
893
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:49.360
did want to mention to listeners too
that we had decided to start putting our
894
01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:55.280
sources in our show notes. So
if you want to go research this case
895
01:06:55.280 --> 01:06:59.760
more, there's I have twenty one
sources for this case. And that's something
896
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:02.320
I've I'm working and like, I
just have way too many sources. I
897
01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:06.880
just can't stop investigating. And it's
kind of a problem because I won't even
898
01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:13.760
clean like one small fact like from
from another article, like Susian's helmet was
899
01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:15.719
blue, and I'm like, all
right, that's important. It's hard to
900
01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:19.119
know when when to stop. It
is, and I really, I mean,
901
01:07:19.159 --> 01:07:23.119
we both try so hard to get
the story right. I think you
902
01:07:23.159 --> 01:07:25.639
try a little harder than I do. I mean, you do a few
903
01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:29.159
fabulous job. I think we both
are. We care about the families and
904
01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:32.119
the pictures, and yeah, it's
it's tough. And if there's any previous
905
01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:35.199
cases, if you want to,
if you're curious about our source materials,
906
01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:38.840
let it. We can. We
can always send those maybeop, we can
907
01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:43.519
go back, and I think we
should gradually start adding them to the descriptions.
908
01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:45.400
Yeah, I think it's it's important. I always like to read the
909
01:07:45.480 --> 01:07:47.920
source materials. Yeah, because a
lot of people out there have done a
910
01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:53.320
lot of work investigating the journalists and
authors and everything, and we definitely want
911
01:07:53.320 --> 01:07:56.639
to give credit to where we're getting
the information from. I have been coming
912
01:07:56.679 --> 01:08:00.159
across a lot of paywalls lately,
and it's so frustrating. Like some newspapers
913
01:08:00.159 --> 01:08:02.760
are pretty open, but others are
just like, you need a subscription.
914
01:08:03.440 --> 01:08:06.400
It's tough because you want to support
and pay for journalism, but at the
915
01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:11.639
same time before you can investigating one
hundred cases and can afford that. Yeah.
916
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:15.720
Yeah, So anyway, that's the
horrible sad case of Suzanne moorephew,
917
01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:18.720
and I hope her body's found.
I hope that. I hope her daughters
918
01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:24.600
are okay. I worry about Yeah, yeah, definitely. So what are
919
01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:28.680
we going to do with the rest
of our day? I don't know.
920
01:08:28.920 --> 01:08:31.039
I'm trying to go back to the
gas station and get dinner. Oh yeah,
921
01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:33.760
we could pick up some chicken at
the gas station. We've talked about
922
01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:36.880
that before. They have really good
fried chicken at the gas station. People
923
01:08:38.039 --> 01:08:43.359
fully like, you're poor, sad
pathetically, it's really good. You know
924
01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:45.039
what I read in the New York
Times today, This is gonna make you
925
01:08:45.079 --> 01:08:47.640
mad. It's not gonna really make
you bad. But pickleball is out.
926
01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:53.600
Oh like tell that to the literal
millions of people that are playing every weekend.
927
01:08:53.720 --> 01:08:56.720
Yeah, it's gotten very popular,
I think, but it's out,
928
01:08:56.760 --> 01:08:58.840
and how so? I guess you
can play it, but it's uncool.
929
01:08:58.880 --> 01:09:03.960
Well, what's next? I think
I think they said skateboarding. I'm not
930
01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:10.680
gonna pick up on skateboards. We
have several skateboards in the Actually, yeah,
931
01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:13.239
I was thinking we could run by
Homewoods and look, I need some
932
01:09:13.279 --> 01:09:17.159
new throw pillows. So let's do
that. And how about you do that
933
01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:21.680
and I will stay here and work
on my every waking moment I can with
934
01:09:21.760 --> 01:09:29.880
you on the weekend. That's nice. Is that on your list of grievances?
935
01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:34.800
Too much pillow shopping? Okay,
well I think that's all we have.
936
01:09:35.319 --> 01:09:41.359
All right, Well, thanks everybody
for listening. We're so grateful for
937
01:09:41.399 --> 01:09:43.520
all of our listeners. We really
are. We saying that a lot,
938
01:09:43.520 --> 01:09:46.000
but we really, really we really
needed, and I promise you, even
939
01:09:46.039 --> 01:09:54.079
if seventeen billion people listen to our
episode every time, we're still equally grateful
940
01:09:54.159 --> 01:09:56.920
for each and every download. We
may not be able to respond to every
941
01:09:57.399 --> 01:10:00.920
email or message, but I was
actually to that. I love so much
942
01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:05.239
talking to our listeners and hearing from
them, but I am getting more dms
943
01:10:05.319 --> 01:10:10.159
and more, so sometimes I'm going
to try my very best to respond to
944
01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:13.479
everyone because it really is important.
I love you guys, and I genuinely
945
01:10:13.520 --> 01:10:17.439
love talking to you, but sometimes
one might get lost. So if it
946
01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:20.880
takes me a couple of days,
don't feel bad if you resend something because
947
01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:24.840
I might just miss it sometimes.

You know what I realized when we're recording,
954
01:10:49.319 --> 01:10:53.640
and I know you've realized this,
I'm like a bobble head, like
955
01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:58.119
if I'm like moving my arms and
heads, have you noticed this? Really?
956
01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:00.800
I like move around a lot,
so it's super I know that I'm
957
01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:04.439
doing it. So yeah, I
know when I when I do my cases,
958
01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:08.479
I use a lot of hand gestures. I think it helps me focus
959
01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:12.960
more. Yeah for sure. All
right, well that was that was interesting.
960
01:11:13.960 --> 01:11:15.640
Wait did you tell people to leave
us a review? No? I
961
01:11:15.640 --> 01:11:19.319
didn't. Why don't you leave us
a review? A five star review?
962
01:11:19.560 --> 01:11:25.760
That would be amazing. I also
wanted to give a serious thank you to
963
01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:29.880
all the people that have left left
of us, left us reviews. I
964
01:11:29.880 --> 01:11:33.399
think it's really important to think those
people continually because we always say I asked
965
01:11:33.439 --> 01:11:36.800
your reviews, but thank you so
much if you have taken the time to
966
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:41.920
rate and review and subscribe, and
it means so much much to us.
967
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:45.279
Yeah for sure. So until next
time, don't don't shoot your wife with
968
01:11:45.319 --> 01:12:03.039
a tranquilizer dart, and don't shoot
your husband with a tranquilizer dart. Summers
969
01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:13.359
ends around the bench, Just fly
the swimming suits around the land. Just
970
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:25.520
drive. I'll meet you there for
our conversatetion. I who bad didn't ruin
971
01:12:25.640 --> 01:12:36.119
your whole bakytion where you never know
a fire from home, you feeling until
972
01:12:36.239 --> 01:12:44.239
you've watched the shadows crossed the sea, and well, I don't know,
973
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:55.520
but I can't see it. Snowing
in your car the windows are wide open.
974
01:12:56.119 --> 01:13:02.439
Just come home home, Come on
long hard, No, you don't
975
01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:24.239
have to be alone, Just come
on, Hong. You continue. It
976
01:13:24.279 --> 01:13:27.239
always cacks up when I do the
exact same thing again. It's like,
977
01:13:27.319 --> 01:13:28.439
how does that happen?
