Suzanne Morphew’s Remains Revealed a Drug From Barry’s Own Supply

The first murder case against Barry Morphew collapsed in April 2022. The prosecution’s tranquilizer theory had no body to support it. Seventeen months later, Suzanne Morphew’s remains were recovered in Saguache County — roughly fifty miles south of the family home, in a county outside the original search. Bone testing revealed butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine — the three compounds that form BAM, a wildlife tranquilizer used on elk and deer. The cause of death was ruled homicide. Barry Morphew had access to BAM through his Indiana deer operation. His last prescription was filled in March 2018. He acknowledged using BAM on deer in Colorado in April 2020, one month before Suzanne disappeared — then told investigators he hadn’t used tranquilizers in Colorado at all. In June 2025, a grand jury indicted him on first-degree murder after deliberation. He was arrested in Arizona, where he’d been living under the name Lee Moore.
