Colorado man Barry Morphew charged with murder of wife Suzanne

Barry Morphew was arrested on May 5, 2021, for the first time, on charges of murder after deliberation, tampering with physical evidence and attempting to influence a public servant. Less than a year later, in April 2022, a judge dismissed the case against Barry Morphew.

Prosecutors had said they believed Morphew used a tranquilizer gun in his wife's murder. While searching their home following Suzanne Morphew's disappearance, police found a locked gun safe containing a tranquilizer gun and darts near the front, the indictment said.
