DENVER – A Chaffee County sheriff's detective and two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents whom Barry Morphew sued last year have been dismissed from the court case.
They were among numerous law enforcement authorities Morphew is suing for their roles in investigating and prosecuting him for the alleged murder of his wife, Suzanne. She went missing near their home in Maysville in 2020.
Morphew's lawsuit is ongoing against more than 20 other law enforcement authorities. The case is in Denver at the U.S. District Court for Colorado.
Court records and the FBI are silent on why Morphew agreed to have agents Jonathan Grusing and Kenneth Harris dropped from the case on March 27. An attorney for Morphew did not respond to The Mail about the development.
[..]
Morphew's lawsuit against law enforcement authorities alleges that they fabricated evidence against him and withheld evidence favorable to him, among other things.
On March 29, Morphew dismissed Chaffee County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Claudette Hysjulien from being a defendant. The court filing for the dismissal does not state a reason for it.
