This guy never should have trusted his truck.
Court reporting today
"The residence" is about 3 miles from here, and Barry was arrested less than a mile (as the crow flies) from here. Of course in this tiny town, murder mysteries are actually big news. Mrs. Elixir is following closely. Police have been very tight-lipped about what evidence they have obtained over the last year, but we now know it is sufficient to charge Barry with murder. Comes out today that wife (Suzanne) had a spy-pen planted in his truck, had been in a sporadic affair with some married guy back east, and all kinds of other sordid nonsense. The details have a lot to do with electronic communications and ...
the star witness in the prosecution's case is Barry's truck.
That damn truck done ratted him out.
Bigly.
Apparently it has/had a tremendous black box device tracking the time and place of every action performed in or around it, fully GPS tracked and timed.* Every locking and unlocking of doors, every light on and off, every stop and every go, every switch in the vehicle - plus a fucking SPY PEN stashed in it. A lot of what the truck testified to today in the preliminary hearing was apparently in direct contradiction to Barry's story. There's a video of him throwing away suspicious bulky packages somewhere on the front range (dumpster behind hotel?). The video is from a location and time his truck ratted about.
It also recorded that apparent loading of the discarded material at their residence, down to the 157 feet it back up to the door, driver exiting, opening the back, then closing the back and starting to drive toward the front range...
Barry had been internet "researching" how to murder people on bike rides, and claimed that Susanne had gone on a bike ride and then gone missing. There are stories of hotel rooms smelling of bleach, things burned and all the usual stuff the might accompany a shabbily or partially planned murder. The prosecution today played body camera footage of the deputies finding the bike. According to Walker, the bike was found sideways on a steep hill. The bike wasn't damaged, but Walker said it appeared as though the bike had been thrown over the side of the hill. He said that area wasn't near any trail and it was in rough terrain. If I recall what Mrs E told me, they found her helmet back at the pad...
Anyhow, it sure looks like this is going to trial even without a body, thanks to the facts provided by his truck.
An absolute, complete and transcendent country song, come to life.
* I had no idea vehicles could do all this shit either, so I can't really fault poor Barry for getting tripped up by a truck.
Barry [Morphew] faces a slew of charges, including first-degree murder, in his wife's death. Barry claims Suzanne went on a bike ride on May 10, 2020, and never returned. He posted a video online a week later pleading for her to return safely. Her body has yet to be found. Police took Barry into custody in May of 2021, almost exactly one year after his wife's disappearance.
