Colorado Trump fan Barry Morphew, famous for filling out missing wife Suzanne’s 2020 election mail-in ballot months after she disappeared while on a bike ride on Mother’s Day, was then was arrested on suspicion of her murder only to see the charges dropped because of prosecutorial misconduct, has been arrested and charged with Suzanne’s murder again, Denver7 reports.

In April 2022, just 10 days before the trial was set to begin, prosecutors with the 11th Judicial District had filed to drop the charges against Morphew, without prejudice, because of multiple fuckups in discovery, including the improper withholding of evidence – including that the DNA of an unknown male subject linked to multiple sexual assaults in other states had been found in Suzanne’s vehicle which, along with other infractions, led to prosecutor Linda Stanley getting disbarred last year.

What changed? Suzanne’s body was found in 2023 during an unrelated investigation in Saguache County, under the jurisdiction of 12th Judicial District Attorney Anne Kelly, not the 11th, where the Morphews lived. And her remains tested positive for a powerful sedative cocktail called butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine – or just BAM. It’s only available through highly specialized veterinary pharmacies and there are two government entities – the National Parks Service and the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife – and one private citizen in the entire south-central Colorado region known to have valid prescriptions for BAM. Take a wild guess who that private citizen is.

Morphew, who records show bought multiple kits of the chemical compound in his native Indiana in 2018, was taken into custody in Maricopa County, Arizona on Friday, where he awaits extradition back to Colorado. One rather interesting detail that National Zero missed about the unknown male sexual assault suspect in 2022 shows up in Denver7’s reporting on the first case being dropped:

National Zero had in 2022 found the detail about the unknown male pretty hard to get around, despite the otherwise obvious signs of consciousness of guilt and fucking arrogance of the white male MAGA mind most definitely inside Barry’s head. Like when he told cops he’d filled out Suzanne’s 2020 ballot “just because I wanted Trump to win… I know she was going to vote for Trump anyways… the other guys were cheating so he would give [Trump] another vote.” And the profile by his liberal cousin Jason Morphew, depicting Barry as a controlling Evangelical freak of a husband during a visit in 2012 – Jason wrote it was a miracle that Barry didn’t shoot him dead. That Suzanne was having an affair with an old high school friend – a man who was pretty quickly cleared by investigators but whose home-wrecking could’ve been a motive for Barry to Kill Suzanne. That Barry is an avid hunter who owns dart guns loaded with BAM. That his movements around the time of Suzanne’s disappearance were shady as hell in between the very large gaps in his whereabouts.

All of that ran into a brick wall with the DNA evidence and it seemed like Barry really had been exculpated – before the BAM evidence in the new indictment flipped it all upside down – but the question still remains of whose DNA it was and what if any connection he has to Barry.

Now Phoenix is big. Maricopa County is bigger. Still, as you can tell, there weren’t a whole lot of coincidences in this long and tragic story. The first prosecution team were incompetent enough to get their lead disbarred for life for fucking up the case against Morphew so it’s fair to question if they dropped the ball with the Arizona suspect to see if he might’ve been an accomplice in Suzanne’s murder. Maybe now justice can get two MAGA assholes for the price of one.
