Morphew murder trial: Husband charged with wife's murder denied bond as spy pen comes under scrutiny

As Suzanne Morphew remains missing more than a year after her disappearance in May 2020, her husband was denied bond during a Thursday court hearing, as Barry Morphew’s defense team and prosecutors discussed several pieces of evidence, including a so-called spy pen.

"It is unfair that Mr. Morphew is sitting in jail being held hostage when there is no physical evidence that a murder has occurred," one of Morphew’s defense attorneys, Iris Eytan, told the judge Thursday.   Barry Morphew was not present in the courtroom and listened to the hearing via a video conference app.
