Barry Morphew arrested, booked into Boulder County Jail
Barry Morphew was booked into the Boulder County Jail late Thursday night, according to a custody record.
Barry Morphew was arrested and booked into the Boulder County Jail on September 3, according to custody records. He was taken into custody at approximately 9:11 p.m. local time on that day. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office stated that Morphew was arrested on an outstanding warrant from Alamosa County for failure to comply. He is currently awaiting trial in Alamosa County for the murder of his wife, Suzanne Morphew.
Morphew had been out on a $3 million bond with strict conditions before his arrest. Recently, a Denver hit-and-run investigation involving Morphew was reported by CBS Colorado, which raised questions about potential violation of his release conditions. A judge had recently tightened these restrictions, ordering Morphew to stay at home under strict no-exemption guidelines.
Prosecutors in the hit-and-run case claim they have reviewed video footage obtained by CBS Colorado, identifying Morphew as the perpetrator. A bond hearing in his Alamosa County murder case is set for September 8, with CBS Colorado seeking additional information from law enforcement regarding Thursday's arrest. This story is developing and will be updated as more details emerge.
