Barry Morphew shared love letters from wife Suzanne after her ‘murder’ to avoid being suspect

BARRY Morphew shared love letters sent to him by his missing wife Suzanne after her alleged murder last year as he appeared to cover his tracks. 

He was arrested on Wednesday morning and charged with her murder after an almost year-long hunt to locate the mother-of-two.

Barry, 53, has maintained his innocence throughout the search for the 49-year-old former teacher and issued a $100,000 reward for her return after claiming that he believed she was abducted

He had previously claimed he thought she had been attacked by a wild animal while out on a bike ride while she was home alone.  

Barry posted pleading videos to Facebook asking for her return and also shared photos and love notes from his wife in an interview with CBS 4. 

"Just want you to know – my life would be nothing without your love and the excitement you bring to our marriage and my life. All my love – Suzanne,” she allegedly wrote in a Valentine’s Day card in 2020, just three months before her disappearance. 



"I remember the first kiss you gave me at my front door,” another letter read. 

“I remember the day you asked me to marry you when you gave me flowers at the pond… I remember the day you held me when I just found out I had cancer.

"I remember our wedding day and the way you made me feel so beautiful… I remember the day our girls were born," the note continued. 

"I remember the February nights in 2013 when I was so sick and couldn't sleep. I remember all the beautiful and difficult times. We've had so many. You are my love 4ever."

Barry said that he and Suzanne tied the knot in 1994 after she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

They lived with their two daughters, Mallory and Macy, in their $1.7million Colorado home until Suzanne went missing last Mother’s Day, May 10. 

Barry has since sold the home claiming that his daughters were scared of staying in a place where he believed their mother to have been abducted. 

It was sold just weeks before his arrest.



The home was searched on two occasions, as well as another property where Barry had worked as a landscaper. 

Barry’s comments last year came after Suzanne’s brother accused him of being involved in her disappearance. 

Andrew Moorman told Dr. Phil that he believed his sister was "abducted, and in this case, murdered." 

"I don't think she was taken to a second location, I think it happened at home," he said.

Andrew claimed he thought Barry was guilty "based on the behaviors and things that happened" but that he would "pray it's not." 

Moorman launched his own independent search last September after raising funds via GoFundMe. 

Barry Morphew refused to take part saying that he believed Suzanne was no longer in the local area. 

He also hit out at Moorman’s allegations and accused him of not being close to Suzanne before she went missing. 



“I've spent many nights… [with] Suzanne crying on my shoulder, asking why her siblings refuse to show her love,” he told CBS. 

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

On the day Suzanne went missing, her adult daughters reportedly asked the neighbor to check on her when they couldn't get in touch after they returned from a camping trip in Idaho.

The former teacher reportedly left her mansion in Maysville on a bike ride and never returned.

She was thought to have been riding in the area between West Highway 50 and County Road 225.

Her bike was later found at a bottom of a hill.

Suzanne was said to be alone at the time as Barry was in Denver, 140 miles away, preparing for a landscaping job. 

Ex-employees who were with him at the job there said that a hotel room he used smelled strongly of bleach and was covered in wet towels. 

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

He was arrested earlier that day while at work. 

Cops also confirmed that they now believe Suzanne is no longer alive but no body has yet been found.

"We are announcing that at [9:15] this morning, the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office arrested Suzanne Morphew's husband, Barry Morphew," Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze said.

"He was taken into custody near his home in Poncha Springs, he was alone at the time of his arrest, and he was arrested without incident."
