2023-09-27 Suzanne Morphew autopsy results

Suzanne Morphew’s death has been ruled a homicide by undetermined means in the setting of butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine intoxication.

1. Disappearance: Suzanne Morphew reportedly went missing during an alleged bike ride, which no one witnessed. Her bike was found with no evidence of damage or an accident, and her belongings, including her car, helmet, and sunglasses, were left at home.

2. Marriage Tensions: Suzanne had told her husband Barry she wanted to end the marriage and handle matters civilly. She also suspected Barry of monitoring her, prompting her to disable the home’s security cameras.

3. Barry’s Trip: Barry hastily planned a work trip to Broomfield, Colorado, scheduling it last minute and bringing inadequate tools. Despite claiming urgency, he made multiple stops, including five trash runs, and was observed resting and changing outfits in his hotel room.

4. Inconsistent Timeline: Barry initially claimed he set out at 5:00 AM, yet his phone and vehicle data indicate he was active around 3:30 AM. During this period, his phone entered airplane mode multiple times, making his movements difficult to track. The phone also showed travel toward the location of Suzanne’s staged bike scene.

5. Unexplained Behavior: Upon learning of Suzanne’s disappearance, Barry asked neighbors to search for her bike rather than immediately contacting authorities. He later suggested to law enforcement that a mountain lion might have taken Suzanne, a theory with no supporting evidence.

6. Contradictory Statements: Barry claimed he and Suzanne had a “perfect” marriage, contradicting other accounts of marital strain, including suspicions of infidelity and arguments over privacy. He admitted to physical altercations and controlling behavior, including seizing Suzanne’s phone on at least two occasions.

7. Suspicious Items: DNA from multiple sources was found on Suzanne’s bike and other items. Investigators found that the cutting edge of Barry’s Bobcat SkidSteer had been recently replaced, and multiple scent-detection K-9s alerted to the presence of human remains around his equipment.

8. Financial and Personal Moves: Following Suzanne’s disappearance, Barry liquidated over $2 million in marital assets, sold Suzanne’s car, and initiated a relationship with a new woman, Shoshona Darke. Although he claimed their relationship was not romantic, surveillance recorded him spending nights at her house.

9. Questionable Search Efforts: Barry stated he searched mines for Suzanne, yet his efforts reportedly ceased after a few months. Despite saying he would “never” stop looking, he began dating and even arranged to rent out their home on AirBnb.

10. Polygraph and Cooperation: Barry refused to take a polygraph and was evasive with investigators. He claimed he had hired a private investigator, but no record of this individual was ever found.

11. Interviews and Admissions: Throughout interviews, Barry repeatedly stated, “I don’t recall” when questioned on specific details. However, he acknowledged being the last person to see Suzanne alive. The FBI determined her last known activity occurred around 2:44 PM on May 9, coinciding with Barry’s arrival home.

12. Lack of Urgency: Barry did not attempt to call Suzanne during his trip or upon learning she was missing. His account contained numerous inconsistencies, and he made multiple references to Suzanne’s disappearance as “God’s will,” suggesting it was out of his control.

In conclusion, Barry Morphew’s actions, contradictory statements, and unusual behavior following Suzanne’s disappearance raised significant suspicions. The FBI investigation gathered circumstantial evidence pointing to Barry’s involvement, culminating in his arrest on charges related to Suzanne’s presumed death. The case remains complex, as authorities continue to search for definitive evidence in the ongoing trial.
