Barry Morphew’s $3 Million Bond Posted, Release Pending GPS Monitor

Administrative steps under the court’s conditions now determine the timing of his release.

Overview

  • Attorney David Beller says friends and supporters posted the $3 million bond, but Morphew remains in the Alamosa County Jail awaiting a required GPS monitor.
  • Alamosa County officials cited paperwork issues and indicated he is expected to be released Friday once the monitoring and documentation are completed.
  • Morphew was re-indicted by a Colorado grand jury in June on a first-degree murder charge in the 2020 death of his wife, Suzanne.
  • Autopsy and toxicology reported BAM animal sedatives in Suzanne Morphew’s system and the death was ruled a homicide, which investigators say prompted renewed charges.
  • Investigative records describe a tranquilizer rifle and darts found in the Morphew home and note prescription records tying him to access to the sedative combination.
