Reports from Colorado indicate that a grand jury has returned an indictment against Barry Morphew, charging him with the murder of his wife, Suzanne Morphew.
Suzanne Morphew disappeared on Mother’s Day in May 2020 while on a bicycle ride. Her remains were discovered more than three years later during an unrelated investigation. The coroner has since ruled her death a homicide.
Barry Morphew, who was previously charged with his wife’s murder in 2021, saw those charges dropped in April 2022 before trial. Now, a grand jury has revived the case with a new indictment. According to reliable sources, Mr. Morphew was apprehended in Arizona and will face charges in Colorado’s San Luis Valley.
Investigators report that Mr. Morphew was the last person known to have seen his wife alive. The indictment cites evidence suggesting marital discord, including a text message from Mrs. Morphew expressing her desire to end the marriage.
The autopsy revealed the presence of a chemical mixture known as BAM, typically used for sedating animals. The significance of this should not be overlooked. Records indicate that Mr. Morphew, a former deer farmer, had experience with this substance and was reportedly the only private citizen in the area with access to it at the time of his wife’s disappearance.
Mr. Morphew’s attorney maintains his client’s innocence, stating, “The case has not changed and the outcome will not either.” Meanwhile, the District Attorney’s office stands firm in its pursuit of justice for Suzanne Morphew.
This development follows earlier reports that Mr. Morphew and his daughters had filed a lawsuit against prosecutors, claiming he was wrongfully charged. The evidence suggests a complex case that raises important questions about investigative procedures and the pursuit of justice.
