SUZANNE’S BODY STILL NOT FOUND DESPITE MURDER CHARGE

Despite cops charging Barry Morphew with murder, Suzanne’s body has still not been found.

Police confirmed in a press conference that Barry, has been charged with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and attempting to influence a public servant in his wife’s disappearance.

Cops also confirmed that they now believe Suzanne is no longer alive.

Suzanne Morphew, 49, was reported missing by her neighbor last Mother’s Day, May 10, 2020.

During the press conference, cops described her as “very easy to like,” and someone who was “cherished by her closest friends.”

District Attorney Linda Stanley told reporters at the conference that even though a body has not been found, her office would not have brought charges without being “confident” about the case.

BODY LANGUAGE EXPERT WEIGHS IN

Patti Wood, a body language guru who has been quoted in countless print articles and appeared on news shows, gave her assessment of Barry’s public appeals last year and his appearance at a court in Colorado.

Morphew released a public appeal on May 10, 2020, just days after she vanished as he pleaded for his wife’s safe return.

He appeared extremely distressed in the clip and on the verge of tears as he appeared in the clip along with a tip line for the FBI.

Wood viewed the clip and said she found it “unsettling to watch” as she dissected the footage, reports DailyMail.com.

She said: “We see pain in his face, but notice it doesn’t move across his face and change as he speaks, but seems set like a mask which reveals that he put on or faked the pained expressions.”

Wood also looked at Morphew’s first court appearance after he was arrested and charged with the alleged murder of Suzanne – and said he looked fearful.

SUZANNE’S SISTER WAS EMOTIONAL WHEN SHE KNEW ABOUT BARRY MORPHEW’S ARREST

Melinda Moorman reportedly wasn’t surprised but she was emotional when she knew of Barry Morphew’s arrest, according to CBS.

Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze called her the moment Morphew was arrested.

“He said that Barry Morphew had been taken into custody and was being taken into custody at that moment and he was watching the action,” Moorman said.

“I just, first and foremost, want to commend Sheriff John Spezze for his professionalism, his integrity, his kindness to our family this last year. He has been as transparent as the case would allow, without jeopardizing the integrity of the case,” she added.

BARRY MORPHEW TRIED TO CLAIM SUZANNE WAS KILLED BY ANIMALS OR ABDUCTED TO AVOID SUSPICION

Barry Morphew claimed his wife Suzanne was potentially attacked by animals or had been abducted after she went missing from their $1.7million Colorado mansion last Mother’s Day.

The father-of-two, 53, was allegedly at a work job in Denver, 140 miles away, when his wife was reported missing by a neighbor on May 10, 2020.

He reiterated his claims that Suzanne may have been attacked by an animal, had an accident on the road, or that she had crossed paths with someone who knew her.

The allegedly grieving husband also claimed he would not stop searching for his wife.

FRIEND OF SUZANNE MORPHEW PLEADS WITH BARRY TO REVEAL HER WHEREABOUTS

A friend of Suzanne Morphew is pleading with Barry to reveal Suzanne’s whereabouts.

Almost a year after she disappeared while going on a solo bike ride on Mother’s Day in 2020, Suzanne’s friends and family still are searching for her likely dead body.

Suzanne’s friend Tish Leewaye demands Barry tell where she is.

“Just please tell us where she is at so we can get the closure that everyone wants,” Leewaye said.

“We’ll find you[,] girl, and get justice, and Happy Mother’s Day,” Leewaye said. “This was a good day, it’ll be better when we can put her to rest.”

INSIDE SUZANNE MORPHEW’S DISAPPEARANCE AND POSSIBLE DEATH (PART 2)

Barry published the video and Facebook page a week after Suzanne was reported missing by a neighbor, who was contacted by the couple’s two daughters.

Suzanne had just celebrated her 49th birthday in the days before that bike ride. When her daughters Mallory and Macy Morphew couldn’t get in touch with her, they asked a neighbor to check in on her.

Barry was allegedly in Denver, about 140 miles away, and stayed in a hotel in the city the night before as he prepared for a landscaping job.

After the neighbor called authorities, a search immediately began, with drones and scent-tracking dogs used to try to track the former teacher down.

Barry initially claimed that Suzanne could have been the victim of an animal attack although dogs were not able to find a scent.

Suzanne’s bike was found at the end of a nearby hill with little damage.

INSIDE SUZANNE MORPHEW’S DISAPPEARANCE AND POSSIBLE DEATH (PART 1)

On Mother’s Day last year – May 10, 2020, Suzanne went on a solo bike ride never to be seen again.

In the days that followed Suzanne’s disappearance, Barry pled for people on social media to share any information regarding her whereabouts.

He said he would “do whatever it takes” in a video posted to a Facebook page called “Find Suzanne Morphew.”

“Oh Suzanne, if anyone is out there that can hear this, that has you, please we’ll do whatever it takes to bring you back,” Barry Morphew said. “We love you. We miss you.
Your girls need you.”
