Barry Morphew, the husband of Suzanne Morphew, has been re-arrested on a first-degree murder charge, reigniting a high-profile Colorado case more than four years after Suzanne’s mysterious disappearance on Mother’s Day 2020.
The arrest comes nearly one year after her skeletal remains were discovered and three years after initial murder charges against Barry were dropped.
A Renewed Murder Charge After Years of Mystery
Barry Morphew was arrested Friday in Arizona after a Colorado grand jury returned a fresh indictment. Authorities confirmed his bond has been set at $3 million cash-only. According to court documents and a statement from the district attorney’s office, Barry will be extradited to Colorado to face trial.
Suzanne Morphew, 49, vanished in May 2020 near Salida, Colorado. Her bike and helmet were discovered in suspicious locations — staged rather than crashed, authorities believed. For over three years, her whereabouts remained a mystery until her remains were discovered in a shallow grave in Moffat, about 40 miles from her home.
