Colorado man Barry Morphew charged with murder of wife Suzanne

Her husband, Barry Morphew, was charged with her presumed murder in 2021, but those charges were dropped in April 2022 just before a trial was supposed to begin.

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.

Suzanne's body was eventually discovered near Moffat, Colorado in 2023 by agents for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The coroner ruled her death a homicide and found evidence of tranquilizer chemicals in her remains.
