Colorado Man Who Was Free on Bond in Wife’s Alleged Killing Is Jailed After Hit-and-Run
Prosecutors say video shows Morphew in a Denver hit-and-run while on GPS monitoring, and they seek tighter bond conditions ahead of a Sept. 8 hearing.
- Boulder County Sheriff's deputies arrested Barry Morphew on Thursday night after an Alamosa County bench warrant was issued for failing to comply with his bond conditions.
- Prosecutors alleged Morphew violated his release terms by committing a hit-and-run in Denver on August 26 while under GPS monitoring and restricted to his home.
- Video evidence shows Morphew is "clearly visible and identifiable" in the incident; prosecutors claim he struck two vehicles and offered one driver $300 before fleeing the scene.
- Alamosa County District Judge Amanda Hopkins modified Morphew's bail to $3 million cash-only on Wednesday, citing the hit-and-run as an extreme flight risk, with a hearing scheduled for Tuesday, September 8.
- Morphew remains charged with first-degree murder in the 2020 death of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, whose remains were discovered in 2023; he has pleaded not guilty and awaits trial next summer.
