AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Barry Morphew was charged with first-degree murder in his wife Suzanne Morphew's death after her skeletal remains were found in 2023, following an initial drop and refiling of charges. He had been free on $3 million bond with travel restrictions.

A man in Colorado who had been free on $3 million bond in his wife's alleged killing was arrested Friday after prosecutors said he got in a hit-and-run crash with two other vehicles in Denver.

Barry Morphew was booked into the Boulder County Jail. Alamosa County District Judge Amanda Hopkins set a hearing to discuss Morphew's bond Tuesday, online records show.

Under the terms of his bond set last year, Morphew was not supposed to travel away from home in southern Colorado except for work and other limited circumstances.

He got into the crash involving two other vehicles during a trip to Denver International Airport on Aug. 28, possibly to pick up his daughter, prosecutors said in a court filing.

“To go to the airport for any purpose other than work constitutes a breach of his bond,” read the filing by District Attorney Anne Kelly.

Morphew's attorneys didn't immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment Friday.

Morphew has pleaded not guilty and faces trial next summer in the death of his wife, who disappeared in 2020.

Suzanne Morphew’s skeletal remains were found off a dirt road in southern Colorado in 2023. By then, charges against Barry Morphew had been dropped, but he was charged again with first-degree murder in his wife’s death and arrested.
