Three years after the disappearance of Suzanne Morphew and the subsequent dropping of murder charges against her husband Barry, her daughters and Barry have broken their silence.

Barry, who was charged with his wife’s murder in May 2021, is accused of killing Suzanne while she was out for a bike ride on Mother’s Day 2020 in Salida. Despite an extensive search, her body has never been found.

Prosecutors dropped the charges against Barry last year after a judge ruled that the district attorney’s office had violated discovery rules. Now, he and his daughters have publicly addressed the situation.

During an interview, when asked about the impact the ordeal has had on them, Suzanne Morphew’s daughters, Mallory and Macy, expressed their feelings saying, “Very, very sad. Very confusing.”

The experience has been incredibly traumatic for Suzanne Morphew’s family. During the same interview with ABC, when asked if he was involved in his wife’s disappearance, Barry denied any involvement, stating, “Absolutely not. It’s very hurtful to lose your reputation and your integrity.” Suzanne’s daughters, Mallory and Macy, also expressed their unwavering belief in their father’s innocence, stating that they have “never had a shred of doubt.”

Barry went on to criticize the prosecutors, saying that they were wrong and had tunnel vision. He believed that they had focused too heavily on him and had been unwilling to consider other possibilities.

When speaking about Suzanne, Barry painted a picture of a loving and giving wife and mother who was going through a difficult time with chemotherapy and drugs. He acknowledged that she had made some bad decisions and was having an affair, which broke his heart.

Overall, the family’s experiences have been devastating and have left them grappling with the loss of a beloved family member, as well as the fallout from the criminal charges and media attention.

Suzanne Morphew’s daughter expressed that not having their mother has been the hardest part for them.

In addition, Barry Morphew filed a $15 million federal civil rights lawsuit against more than 20 prosecutors and law enforcement officials. The lawsuit alleges that the authorities conspired to wrongly arrest him, fabricated evidence, concealed exculpatory evidence, and conducted a reckless investigation, all of which led to Morphew being wrongly prosecuted.

The complaint further states that Morphew spent five months in jail, six months wearing a GPS ankle monitor, and almost a year defending against the criminal charges. His property also remains in the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Department’s possession.

The lawsuit names Chaffee County, the sheriff’s office and board of commissioners, 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley and her staff, as well as Colorado Bureau of Investigation and FBI agents. It claims that Morphew’s name and reputation have been irreparably tarnished both in Colorado and around the country as a result of their conduct.
