Newly released body camera footage of the June 2025 arrest of Barry Morphew in Arizona shows a calm situation where the suspect only asks a few questions while being handcuffed after a traffic stop.
The video shows officers pulling over Morphew in his truck. Once out of the car, Morphew asks why he’s being arrested. The officers respond that they have a warrant for his arrest out of Colorado.
The video was obtained by Denver7.
Other arrest-related video includes an hour-long interview with Morphew’s girlfriend. The woman was not identified because she is not charged with a crime. Morphew had lived with the woman since May 2025 and told her that his name was Lee Moore.
Morphew is charged with the murder of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, who disappeared on Mother’s Day 2020 near their home in Maysville. Her remains were found in 2023 in Saguache County during an unrelated search. Morphew has pleaded not guilty to the charges. His trial is set for next summer.
