Barry Morphew is scheduled for a court appearance for his initial hearing following a grand jury’s indictment, accusing him of murdering his wife, Suzanne Morphew.

Authorities announced that Barry Morphew will be in court at 1:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday in Alamosa, Colorado. He was charged with first-degree murder after deliberation on June 20 following the state’s decision to convene a grand jury. He was extradited from Arizona on Monday and is currently detained at the Alamosa County Jail.

Barry Morphew’s attorney, David Beller, told Fox News Digital that Morphew “maintains his innocence.”

“Once more, the government lets their pre-conceived notions guide their pursuit of evidence,” Beller said. “The case remains unchanged, and so will the result.”

“Ultimately, the prescription records show that when Suzanne Morphew disappeared, only one private citizen living in that entire area of the state had access to BAM: Barry Morphew,” the indictment states.

Barry Morphew was initially charged with the murder of Suzanne Morphew in 2021, but those charges were dropped after prosecutorial misconduct. In that case, the charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning he could be re-charged.

Court documents indicate Suzanne Morphew wanted to leave her husband, but was waiting for the right time.
