Barry Morphew, the husband of Suzanne Morphew, has been indicted by a Colorado grand jury on one count of first-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife. Suzanne Morphew, 49, went missing on Mother's Day weekend in 2020 while on a bike ride, and her remains were discovered in Saguache County in September 2023 after a search lasting over three years. This indictment comes more than three years after the original murder charges against Barry Morphew were dropped in April 2022 due to prosecutorial misconduct, just before his trial was set to begin. He was arrested again in Gilbert, Arizona, and is expected to be extradited to Colorado. Prosecutors have cited new evidence in the case, including the discovery of Suzanne's remains, the presence of a rare sedative, deleted text messages, and suspicious data suggesting premeditation. The case has been described as a cold case until these recent developments led to the renewed charges.
