Barry Morphew was arrested Friday in Arizona after a Colorado grand jury returned an indictment Wednesday, three years after the initial case was dropped because of prosecutorial issues with evidence.

His bond was set at $3 million, cash only, according to court documents.

[..]

Barry Morphew has maintained his innocence since his wife disappeared, and his attorney David Beller blasted the new indictment.

[..]

Iris Eytan, who was Morphew’s attorney in 2021 but no longer represents him, said prosecutors “fumbled” the case.

“Not only is he is a loving father, but he was a loving husband,” Eytan told The Associated Press on Friday.

[..]

Suzanne Morphew’s remains were found in 2023​

Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents stumbled upon Suzanne Morphew’s skeletal remains in September 2023 in a shallow grave during an unrelated search near the small southern Colorado town of Moffat, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of the Morphews’ home.

Most of Suzanne Morphew’s bones were recovered, and many were “significantly bleached,” according to the affidavit.

It wasn't immediately clear what led to the new charges. Twelfth Judicial District Attorney Anne Kelly said in the statement that law enforcement continued their investigation even after charges against Barry were dropped.


“Federal, State and local law enforcement have never stopped working toward justice for Suzanne," Kelly said in the statement. “The Twelfth Judicial District Attorney’s Office stands in solidarity with Suzanne’s family and the citizens of Chaffee and Saguache Counties in pursuing the Grand Jury’s indictment.”
