SUSPECTED murderer Barry Morphew would know where to hide a body in Colorado and police would likely never find it , a pal has claimed following his arrest.

Suzanne vanished after going out for a bike ride and her body has not yet been foundCredit: Chaffee County Sheriff s Office Everyone is saying Barry s the bad guy. Well, maybe he s a bad guy, I don t really know, the pal said. The public perception of this is so tainted now and I just wish one person would put out the facts. If he is guilty, I doubt anybody would ever find the body. He knows those mountains. He s an avid hunter and outdoorsman.

MURDER suspect Barry Morphew – who has been accused of killing his wife Suzanne – was once drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays and dreamed of playing professional baseball.
The 53-year-old was arrested earlier this month and charged with Suzanne s murder after an almost year-long hunt to locate the mother-of-two. Her body has still not been found.

And while he languishes behind bars in a prison jumpsuit, life could have been very different for Barry, who was obsessed with baseball as a child and was scouted while fresh out of high school.
