Inside Barry Morphew's secretive life 600 miles away from epicenter of murder investigation into wife's death

Barry Morphew lived a secretive life in Cave Creek, Arizona, over 600 miles away from where his wife, Suzanne Morphew, went missing in Salida, Colorado.

Inside Barry Morphew's secretive life 600 miles away from epicenter of murder investigation into wife's death​

Over 600 miles away from Salida, Colorado, where Suzanne Morphew vanished on Mother's Day in 2020, Barry Morphew found an escape from the state where prosecutors initially tried, but failed, to convict him of killing his wife.


Barry Morphew settled down in Cave Creek, Arizona, after prosecutors dropped murder charges in 2022 relating to his wife's disappearance.

One restaurant employee in Cave Creek, Arizona told Fox News Digital he didn't know Barry Morphew by his first name – and thought he was an entirely different person. Charlie Loots, bar manager at Harold's Cave Creek Corral, told Fox News Digital that Barry Morphew went by the name "Bruce."

Loots didn't know Barry Morphew's real name until June 20, when news reports began to surface about murder charges relating to Suzanne Morphew's death.

"I was shocked that, again, I mean, I was very caught off guard about all of it," Loots said. "I spent, honestly, as soon as I found about it, I spent like two hours reading articles about it. I was like, I was so intrigued, because I was, like, this s--- doesn't happen," he said.

Loots said he began seeing Barry Morphew, or Bruce, as he knew the murder suspect, after the Coronavirus pandemic. He said Barry Morphew's go-to drink was beer, often switching between Miller Lite and Coors Light, adding that he was at the bar on June 13, exactly one week before his arrest.

Barry Morphew "always was approached by other women" at the bar, Loots said, adding that he would frequently approach other women and flirted with them.

Libby Spruill told Fox News Digital she was one of the women Barry Morphew flirted with at Harold's Cave Creek Corral. Spruill said she was at Harold's Cave Creek Corral in March 2024 when Barry Morphew asked if she wanted to dance.

"He walked out to me and he said, ‘hi.’ He's like, ‘Do you want to dance?’ And I said, 'You're Barry Morphew,'" Spruill said.

At the time, according to Spruill, Barry Morphew said "no, no, I think you have the wrong person." A bit later, Spruill said an individual approached them and introduced Barry Morphew as "Lee" from Indiana.

According to the June 20 grand jury indictment, Barry Morphew went by the alias "Lee Moore." A local gas station clerk told Fox News Digital he knew Barry Morphew by the name "Lee."

Public records indicate Barry Morphew paid property taxes at the Stardust Trailer park and was self-employed. In Colorado, he was a landscaper and independent contractor, but he didn't hold any professional license to do either in Arizona.

Colin McCallin, a Colorado-based lawyer and former deputy district attorney for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office in Colorado, told Fox News Digital the use of two aliases is uncommon.

"That's weird," McCallin said. "I mean, that certainly is evidence that this is a person who does not want to be known by his true name, maybe even, know, a little reckless with the use of those aliases."

"It's clear he did not want to be known by Barry," he said, adding its possible Barry Morphew was trying to live a double life in Cave Creek, Arizona.

So, what happened when after he was introduced asLee?
 
I don't think we know or will know if the women did anything about it anytime soon. It would be hard to believe at least one didn't after hearing an alias.

LE could have known where he was all along and waited until ready to arrest too. He did pay taxes there so there was some kind of record also.

I'm just curious if she laughed in his face and walked away.

So she was moved TWICE????

Suzanne Morphew's body was moved at least twice after she was murdered, according to new indictment - CBS News


I'm not sure where they are getting the "twice" from unless they are talking about the first time being moved from home to 1st grave then to where she was found. Very poor reporting on that front.

It's in your link why they think that. Some of her bones were missing and they don't think she decomposed at that site.

"The majority of her bones were recovered," the indictment states, and a board-certified anthropologist, a botanist, and an entomologist were brought in to analyze the remains and concluded that "it was unlikely Suzanne decomposed from a fresh body to a skeleton at this location."

Dan "Dan R" Ridenour, who lives in the Salida area of Colorado where the Morphews lived when Suzanne Morphew went missing, is the news director and operations manager of the Heart of the Rockies Radio. He told "48 Hours" that it was hard to make sense of the indictment's allegations against Barry Morphew. "Why would he do that?" Ridenour asked. "Why would he move the body?"
For one thing, Ridenour noted that Barry Morphew has been under heavy scrutiny since Suzanne Morphew was reported missing. "There is not a more recognizable face in Salida than Barry Morphew," Ridenour said. "He's going to take that chance and drive 70 miles to the south and dig a shallow grave? There are too many questions."
But the indictment is unequivocal: Suzanne Morphew's bones were moved to that location after her body had decomposed elsewhere, meaning it had to have been moved at least twice after her murder. "She was not initially killed in the San Luis Valley," Ridenour said. "She was moved there. That was not her first grave."

That's moved once though. We don't even know if she was alive or dead on the movement from the house, so that doesn't count to me. We do know she was moved at least once after death.

No its twice assuming, she was killed at home, the first move was from home to an unknown disposal site then later she was moved to the site where she was found.

Some bones went missing at the point she was moved from the second unknown location to her final location. So the bones could not have gone missing if she was only moved once from home alive or just after her murder. Her body went somewhere to decompose is what they are saying, and it did not compose at the site that the remains were found.

Of course she was dead at home. That was his whole thing that he could do all this and cover up while no one was home to see any of it.

I'm not sure LE though isn't talking about a time we don't know about...

"Assuming" she was killed at home. That's the issue I have with it. It's not a fact that she was dead before being taken from the home.

Well if she was alive, which is not what has been said by the authorities, she wouldn't have gone willingly for sure. This is the authorities saying this, not speculation. If you have a source then by all means post it.

The link you already posted states this quite clearly though.

an entomologist were brought in to analyze the remains and concluded that "it was unlikely Suzanne decomposed from a fresh body to a skeleton at this location."

Her phone activity stopped also. If you think she was alive still when moved, what evidence do you have? Or are you just speculating, which is fine if you are, but i disagree.

Whether she was alive or dead when she left the house, where do you think the missing bones are, if there was no second location?
