The arrest records for Barry Morphew, the Colorado man accused of killing his wife around Mother's Day 2020, will remain sealed until at least August 31, a judge ruled Friday. Chaffee County District Court Judge Patrick Murphy wrote that the 130-page arrest affidavit needs to remain out of the public eye to ensure that Barry Morphew can prepare his defense, as well as to protect Barry and Suzanne Morphew's two daughters. Barry Morphew, 53, was arrested on May 5 in southern Colorado, nearly a year after Suzanne Morphew, 49, disappeared in the same area. Morphew was also charged with allegedly casting a fraudulent vote on his wife's behalf for then-President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
