Newser • • nation
Key Points:
- Barry Morphew, who was free on a $3 million bond in connection with his wife's alleged murder, has been arrested on a new hit-and-run charge after a crash involving two other vehicles in Denver.
- Morphew violated his bond conditions by traveling to Denver International Airport, as he was only allowed to leave his southern Colorado home for work or limited reasons.
- Prosecutors stated that going to the airport for any purpose other than work constitutes a breach of his bond, and Morphew is now booked in Boulder County Jail.
- Morphew has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled for trial next summer in the death of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, whose remains were found in 2023 after her disappearance in 2020.
- Charges against Morphew had been dropped but were later reinstated with a first-degree murder charge, leading to his re-arrest.
