- Barry Morphew, out on a $3 million bond in his wife's suspected killing, was arrested after prosecutors say he caused a hit-and-run while in Denver — reportedly during a trip to Denver International Airport.
- Prosecutors say that airport trip (possibly to pick up his daughter) violated bond terms that barred travel away from his southern Colorado home except for work.
- Suzanne Morphew’s skeletal remains were found in 2023; prosecutors allege traces of a wildlife tranquilizer in her bones and say Barry had unique access to those chemicals — he has pleaded not guilty and faces trial next summer.
