Keep scrambling, Barry.

I can’t believe his daughters think he's innocent. I can't imagine how difficult it is to recognize that the man who cared for you, killed your mom. The evidence is overwhelming though.

Yes, it is perplexing. But they could open their eyes if they really really wanted to. Children of serial killers can realize it. That’s way worse.

Prosecutor plans to enter physical abuse evidence in Barry Morphew murder trial​

The prosecutor in the Barry Morphew murder trial told a judge on Monday that she plans to introduce evidence of physical abuse in the couple’s marriage, which ended when Suzanne Morphew disappeared on Mother’s Day in 2020.


But 12th Judicial District Judge Amanda Hopkins set a new trial date for July 19, 2027, on Monday at the request of Morphew’s defense attorneys.

The parties are due back in court for a motions hearing Sept. 17.

Hopkins previously apologized to the Morphew family for the delay, who objected to a postponement, alluding to the “unbelievable amount of information both sides are going through.”

In granting the motion to push the trial back, Hopkins added that “no one wants to do this more than once.” The defense asked for an extra four to six months to prepare.

In a two-and-a-half-hour hearing Monday, 12th Judicial District Attorney Anne Kelly revealed that she wants to introduce evidence of physical abuse in the Morphews’ marriage. But she did not elaborate.

According to the original 129-page arrest affidavit, Suzanne Morphew kept intimate grievances about her husband in the Notes portion of her cellphone. These included “Phys abuse,” “Stalking Sheila and me in house without telling,” “Chase me around resort and threatened,” “Took phone,” “Not safe alone with you. Can’t be trusted,” “Oppressive,” and “Accused me of bf.”

Though Mrs. Morphew’s cellphone has never been found, investigators lifted her notes from iCloud. The name “Sheila” in Mrs. Morphew’s cellphone notes referred to her best friend, whom she had known since her days at Purdue University.


Morphew has maintained his innocence through the years, and Monday, his attorney, David Beller, said that he did not believe that “domestic violence is at issue in this case.”

Judge Hopkins gave the defense until July 21 to disclose whether or not they intend to introduce any other suspects in the case. Morphew has said that the last time he saw his wife was at around 5 in the morning on May 10, 2020 and that she was sleeping.

If the daughters witnessed physical abuse, it makes it even worse.
