Suzanne Morphew, a woman from Colorado who disappeared in 2020, has been confirmed as a homicide victim, following the discovery of her body in a remote area in 2023. Despite initial charges of murder against her husband, Barry Morphew, these were later dismissed in 2022 due to mishandling of evidence by prosecutors. Barry Morphew, who stated he last saw Suzanne in May 2020, has since sued the prosecutors for $15 million, claiming violations of his constitutional rights.

The cause of Suzanne Morphew’s death was determined to be from “undetermined means,” with tests revealing the presence of wildlife tranquilizers in her remains. Since the dismissal of the case against Barry, his attorney has posited an alternate scenario where Suzanne was allegedly abducted, drugged, and murdered by an unknown individual. This assertion is part of broader claims suggesting issues within the couple’s marriage.

The investigation into Suzanne Morphew’s death continues, with authorities keeping open the option of re-filing charges against Barry Morphew if further evidence comes to light. Meanwhile, legal representatives for the family have expressed a commitment to identifying not just the perpetrator of the murder but also the person responsible for her disappearance.
