Denver – The husband of a woman who disappeared on the day of the mother 2020 should appear in court in Colorado on Tuesday for the first time since his accusation of murder in his death.
Barry Morphew was decree On June 20 in Arizona after being newly charged in the death of Suzanne Morphew, three years after the abolition of the initial case against him due to prosecution problems with evidence.
The authorities announced on Monday that it had arrived in prison in the small town in southern Colorado of Alamosa, not far from the place where the skeletal remains of Suzanne Morphew were found on a dirt road in September 2023.
His remains were accidentally discovered when the authorities were looking for another woman who disappeared a year after the prosecutors abandoned their initial prosecution of Morphew.
An autopsy report in 2024 said that Suzanne Morphew died of “unpertified means” but tried her death a homicide. While her remains showed no sign of trauma, the investigators found in his bone marrow a cocktail of medication used to calm the fauna for which her husband had a prescription, according to the indictment.
Barry Morphew has maintained his innocence since the disappearance of his wife.
Two lawyers listed in judicial documents representing Morphew at the Tuesday hearing, David Beller and Jane Fisher-Byrialsen, did not immediately return phone messages or e-mail asking for comments. Beller previously criticized the prosecutors for allowing “their predetermined conclusion to direct their search for evidence”.
The mystery surrounding Suzanne Morphew began when the mother of two 49 -year -old daughters, who lived near the small community of Mountain de Salida, Colorado, was missing the day of the 2020.
Her mountain bike and helmet were found in separate places not far from her house, but the investigators suspected that the bicycle had been deliberately thrown into a ravine because there was no indication of an accident. A week after the disappearance of his wife, Barry Morphe published a video on Facebook pleading for his return safely and the case quickly attracted attention.
In May 2021, prosecutors accused him of murder. They later abandoned the case in 2022 when Morphew was about to undergo the trial.
A judge had prohibited prosecutors from calling key witnesses after the lawyers were not repeatedly respected the rules for the delivery of evidence in favor of Morphew.
The last case is continued by another prosecutor in a separate judicial district where the remains of Suzanne Morphew were found, a rural area about 40 miles south of the Morphes’ home.
Investigators found a port on the site through which Suzanne Morphew could receive medication to treat follicular lymphoma, a type of blood cancer she had. They also found bicycle clothes similar to what it was known to wear.
Based on the state of remains and clothing, a medical anthropologist hypothesized that the body was probably decomposed elsewhere before being moved to the site, according to the new act of accusation of Morphew.
