New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- Barry Morphew, free on a $3 million bond in connection with his wife's alleged killing, was arrested after a hit-and-run crash involving two other vehicles in Denver on August 28.
- Morphew violated his bond conditions by traveling to Denver International Airport, as he was only permitted to leave his southern Colorado home for work or limited reasons.
- He faces a bond hearing scheduled for Tuesday, with prosecutors citing the airport trip as a breach of his bond terms.
- Morphew has pleaded not guilty and is set for trial next summer in the death of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, whose skeletal remains were found in 2023 without signs of trauma but with traces of a wildlife tranquilizer drug.
- Prosecutors allege Barry Morphew was the only person authorized to use the tranquilizer chemicals found in his wife's remains, strengthening their case against him.
