Judge dismisses murder charges against Barry Morphew in wife Suzanne's disappearance
CBSN
The case against Barry Morphew, a Colorado man accused of killing his wife, was dismissed by a judge on Tuesday, less than 10 days before the trial was set to begin. Suzanne Morphew disappeared after leaving her home for a bike ride on Mother's Day 2020, and her body was never found.
District Attorney Linda Stanley filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss the charges without prejudice, meaning prosecutors will be able to refile charges against Barry Morphew at a later date, CBS Denver reports.
Prosecutors had previously accused Barry Morphew of shooting his wife with a tranquilizer dart before killing her. He was arrested on May 5, 2021, and charged with murder after deliberation, tampering with physical evidence and attempting to influence a public servant. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
