Colorado Man Pleds Not Guilty Again in Wife's Murder Case as Remains Found Off Dirt Road
In a shocking turn of events, Barry Morphew, the husband of Suzanne Morphew, who disappeared in 2020, has pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife for the second time. This latest plea comes after her skeletal remains were discovered off a dirt road in southern Colorado last year.
Morphew's defense team entered the plea during a short hearing in Alamosa, Colorado, as prosecutors sought to reinitiate the case against him. The charges stem from Suzanne Morphew's mysterious disappearance and subsequent death. While Morphew maintains his innocence, investigators have uncovered evidence that suggests otherwise.
Suzanne Morphew's remains showed no signs of trauma, but her bone marrow contained a cocktail of three drugs used to tranquilize wildlife - butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine. Her cause of death was determined by the coroner's office as "homicide by unspecified means" due to intoxication from these substances.
A forensic anthropologist believes that the body likely decomposed elsewhere before being moved based on the condition of her remains and clothes found with her. Investigators also discovered a port at the scene where Suzanne Morphew could have received medicine for her treatment of follicular lymphoma, a type of blood cancer she had been diagnosed with prior to her disappearance.
The case against Morphew has previously been dropped due to prosecutors' failure to follow evidence-sharing rules with the defense team. However, this time around, he is being prosecuted by a different district attorney in the area where Suzanne Morphew's remains were found.
As the investigation unfolds, the mystery surrounding Suzanne Morphew's disappearance and death continues to captivate attention. Will new evidence lead to Morphew's conviction, or will his pleas of innocence prevail?

. I know he's pleaded not guilty again, but come on, the evidence is mounting against him. Those meds found in Suzanne's system are straight up suspicious 
. And let's not forget about the weird circumstances surrounding her disappearance... like, what even happened to that investigation back in 2020? 
It's kinda fishy how Morphew's team managed to get it dropped due to procedural issues, but now he's getting another shot. Guess you could say justice is being served 
. The discovery of Suzanne's skeletal remains and the presence of tranquilizer substances in her system are telling indicators, don't you think? 
.
It's also pretty wild that Suzanne Morphew had these sedatives in her system... was she being held against her will or something? The fact that her remains showed no trauma but the coroner attributed her death to intoxication from those meds is definitely suspicious 
. Can we really trust our instincts on this one, though? 
Maybe new evidence comes in and clears his name... or maybe it just gets him convicted 
.
. can't we just get some answers already?! it feels like we're stuck in this never-ending loop with this case.
.
. we deserve to know what really happened to her and hopefully, the truth will finally come out 
. Two times he's been in court, and each time the cops come up empty-handed 
. But what if Morphew was actually trying to help his wife, and things just went wrong? 
It's not like he's been trying to cover up anything... yet 
.
. and what with the timeline and the different attorneys and prosecutors...can someone just put a timeline chart in here so i can follow along?
they're trying to cover their tracks but i'm not buying it. my heart goes out to suzanne's family, they deserve justice 
My heart goes out to Suzanne's family & friends 
He's going through some serious scrutiny now, and it's hard to believe he'd do such a thing 
But you never know what's gonna happen in a trial 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for justice & closure for Suzanne's loved ones 
. I'm just waiting for the day when he actually faces justice and gets what's coming to him 
. The fact that his defense team is trying to spin this as "homicide by unspecified means" due to intoxication? Give me a break 
. I feel so bad for Suzanne's family and loved ones, they must be going through the toughest time ever 
. Barry Morphew's defense team is really pushing his innocence too hard though, imo 
Anyway, I'm low-key invested in this case now... what do u guys think? Should he be convicted or should there be a twist?
