Court records show the 52-year-old is charged with first-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and attempting to influence a public servant.<\/p>\n<p>The 49-year-old mother of two disappeared after leaving her Chaffee County home for a bike ride in May of 2020. Investigators executed more than 135 search warrants across Colorado, interviewed more than 400 individuals across numerous states and investigated more than 1,400 tips regarding the case. Authorities say they do not expect to make any further arrests, adding that the arrest affidavit remains sealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, the investigation is still ongoing.\u201d District Attorney Linda Stanley affirmed. \u201cSuzanne, her body has not been found and we are still looking into that. Second, Barry Morphew is innocent until proven guilty. That\u2019s important to remember.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The victim\u2019s sister, Melinda Moorman, said justice is just the beginning for her sibling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first reaction is relief and grateful\u2026I\u2019m so grateful for law enforcement, for Sheriff John (Spezze), for the FBI, for the CBI, for the people who have worked relentlessly and tirelessly,\u201d she stated. \u201cAnd that they have taken my sister into their hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moorman said despite the accusations against her brother-in-law, she still loves him. Morphew is scheduled for a bond hearing on Thursday and officers asserted this is where the work begins.<\/p>\n<h5>MORE NEWS:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/doctor-explains-vaccine-regret\/\"> Doctor Explains \u201cVaccine Regret\u201d<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo provided by Chaffee County Sheriff\u2019s Office shows Barry Morphew, arrested in connection with the disappearance of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, as the result of an ongoing investigation.
