CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. — Barry Morphew, who is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife who remains missing, is now accused of submitting a ballot for her in the November presidential election.
Back in October 2020, the Chaffee County Clerk reported to the sheriff’s office that she had received a mail-in ballot for Suzanne Morphew, a person she knew was missing since May 2020, an arrest affidavit from CCSO for Barry Morphew’s arrest says.
In April, Barry Morphew was interviewed about the ballot and asked why he submitted it.
He replied, “Just because I wanted Trump to win,” the affidavit says. He further stated, according to the affidavit that “I just thought give him [Trump] another vote.”
