Morphew Statement to the Press #2

“The first and most important focus should be that the Morphew’s just learned that they lost their beautiful
mother and wife after she disappeared 3 ½ years ago.

What appears to be the overriding focus is a finger pointing right back where it started 3 ½ years ago: a movement
to blindly re-accuse Barry for Suzanne’s death.

Here are the facts.

According to the authorities, Suzanne Morphew was NOT found anywhere in the vicinity of her home, the town
nearby, or the county she lived in. She was found in Moffat, Colorado. Moffat is 45 miles south and a 45-minute
drive away from the Morphew home located in Maysville, Colorado.

According to authorities who found Suzanne, her remains were found in a shallow grave in a dry desert field of
sagebrush and natural grasses. Contrary to prior accusations, her remains were not found in a rocky mountainous
region near her home, not in a location that was a “difficult spot” to get to, or near the home and impossible to get
to due to being in a mine or under frozen tundra and buried under 6 feet of snow.

Barry was the most scrutinized, dissected, surveilled individual, minute by minute, hour by hour using law
enforcement cameras posted by his home, phone taps and GPS devices placed on his car – all during the time
frame of her disappearance and the years following.

At no time did the FBI, CBI, Chaffee County Sheriff Office or DA’s Office pinpoint or even generally claim that Barry
was in any area south of his home, near Moffat or anywhere near Saguache County at any relevant time frame. It
would be ludicrous for anyone to now try to fit the now known facts to prior false assumptions and accusations.

It was the Saguache County Officials that fortunately stumbled onto Suzanne’s remains last week while looking for
another missing woman, Edna Quintana. Law enforcement officials that were supposedly looking for Suzanne,
were never looking for Suzanne in the Moffat area or area South of Maysville, because they only focused in on
Barry being the suspect. And, they knew Barry was not South of Maysville, and certainly not 45 miles South.

The authorities focused their search for Suzanne in the area near the Morphew home utilizing his phone and car
forensics. The authorities pointed to the locations where Barry was May 9 and 10, 2020. Barry was in Salida
(north of his home), or in or near his home, and then on May 10, 2020 at 5:00 a.m. drove to Broomfield, Colorado,
a city 156 miles North of Maysville. He was never south of the house, and that is why they did not search that
area. See FBI’s map relied upon by the authorities about Barry’s whereabouts on May 9 and 10, 2020.

The Morphew home, Barry’s truck, Suzanne’s and daughters’ vehicles were immediately searched for evidence of
human remains and Suzanne’s blood using both forensics and dog sniff searches. There was no forensic evidence
of Suzanne’s deceased body or blood in any of the vehicles.

What needs to be done instead of pointing fingers at Barry Morphew, is asking the officials about the number of
missing people and number of human remains that have been recovered in or from Saguache County in the recent
past.

Whatever happened to Krystal Reisinger, Edna Quintana, Suzanne, the man whose remains were found by
Saguache County Sheriff’s office in the foothills on July 26, 2023, or the remains of the person found in another
area in Saguache County last weekend (more info to come from authorities tomorrow). What were the
circumstances of their disappearances, what is cause and manner of death of the remains found in the area, what
happened to them, are they looking for other remains in this area?
The public should demand answers about these five people who suspiciously went missing or were found dead in
this area.

The Morphew family and legal team believe that CBI, local law enforcement, and the local DA’s office have a
conflict of interest and should not be involved in the future investigation of Suzanne’s death. An objective and
unbiased examination of Suzanne’s death can only be conducted by an outside and independent team of
investigators.

When law enforcement focuses in on one person and refuses to review evidence objectively and fairly, it is a
disservice to the community and creates exactly what has come to light…years of unsolved murders. “
