A Colorado husband and father arrested again in connection with the murder of his wife years after previous charges were dropped, a grand jury indicts Barry Morphew on first-degree murder.
In 2021, Morphew was charged with first-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence after his wife, Suzanne, went missing on Mother’s Day in 2020, but those charges were later dropped before his trial date and a year before Suzanne’s remains were found.
Suzanne Morphew, 49, was last seen on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2020, in Maysville, Colorado, after leaving her home for a bike ride. Later that evening, Suzanne’s mountain bike is found near the home, and her helmet is found in a different location nearby a few days later.
A massive search for Suzanne spans over a three-year period until her remains are uncovered in a shallow grave in Saguache just a few hundred feet down a dirt road, the indictment states. An autopsy report states drugs typically used to tranquilize animals were found in her system.
Morphew was all smiles at his court appearance.
