US EditionBarry Morphew, Colorado Man Accused of Killing His Wife, Has Been Extradited
- Barry Morphew, a 57-year-old Colorado man, was extradited from Arizona to Colorado on June 20 and charged with first-degree murder in his wife Suzanne Morphew's death.
- Suzanne Morphew went missing on Mother's Day 2020 while out cycling, leading to her husband Barry being charged with her murder in 2021; however, those charges were dismissed in 2022 due to prosecutorial errors.
- In 2023, Suzanne's remains were found in a shallow grave in Saguache County and ruled a homicide caused by sedatives typically used in veterinary medicine, linking them to Morphew through prescription records.
- Among the evidence were a locked gun safe containing a tranquilizer rifle, packages of darts, a needle cap discovered in the dryer, and traces of the animal sedatives butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine detected in Suzanne Morphew’s bone marrow.
- Morphew remains in custody at Alamosa County Jail with a court appearance scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, and his attorney David Beller states he maintains his innocence amid a case described by some as botched.
