In May 2020, on Mother’s Day, Suzanne Morphew disappeared after leaving for a bike ride near her Salida, Colorado home. Her husband, Barry Morphew, told investigators she never returned — but beneath the surface was a story of secrets, tangled relationships and a forensic trail that would span years.

The first murder charges against Barry were filed in 2021 — then dismissed in 2022 amid prosecutorial misconduct and investigative errors. Many thought the case was over. But when Suzanne’s remains were discovered in September 2023 in a remote shallow grave, new evidence emerged: a rare wildlife tranquilizer mixture known as BAM (butorphanol, azaperone, medetomidine) found in her bones, phone and truck telemetry gaps, and the claim that Barry was the only private citizen in the region with access to that drug.

In June 2025, a grand jury in Colorado’s 12th Judicial District indicted Barry for first-degree murder. The state says this is the break they’ve waited for; the defense says it’s a recycled narrative built on speculation.

Whether you’re a longtime follower of true-crime or coming in fresh — this story is about more than who did it. It’s about how evidence is built (and rebuilt), how time changes a case, and how truth sometimes hides in the crevices of data, memory and motive.
