‘Kind of odd’: Husband of missing woman Suzanne Morphew sounds ‘flat and monotone’ in plea for her return, says expert
On Thursday’s episode of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, deception and body language expert Susan Constantine weighed in on a video plea made by the husband of a Colorado woman who has been missing close to two weeks since her Mother’s Day disappearance.
“To begin with he says, ‘Oh Suzanne,'” Constantine said. “Usually when somebody says ‘oh,’ there’s usually a strong emotion. There’s fear, maybe there’s some sympathy behind it … It’s kind of an odd way to open up with. And then he uses the word ‘if.’ ‘If you can find her, if she is out there’ … that kind of struck me as kind of odd.”
Constantine pointed out more “odd” moments from Barry Morphew’s statement, particularly in places where he pauses, which generally means, she said, that the speaker is “gathering his thoughts.”
“There was a short pause when he says “if there’s anyone that has you,” … in his own language, it seems to appear, it seems like he’s holding back information.”
Another pause comes with the statement “no questions asked.” “I thought that was a really odd statement, right in the middle of it,” Constantine told Grace. “I am so concerned that I don’t wanna known what happened … I think that was embedded in there for a particular reason.”
Finally, Constantine noted Morphew’s voice inflection as he says things like “I love you” and “I miss you.”
“His voice inflection is very flat and monotone … it doesn’t bring me to feel that emotion that he’s missing his wife.”

‘Pacing around, staring out windows’: Chaffee County Fire Chief addresses questions about missing Suzanne Morphew’s husband Barry Morphew
As the search for missing Colorado mother Suzanne Morphew continues, a fire chief who works with Suzanne’s husband Barry Morphew has weighed in on some pressing questions about the circumstances of Suzanne’s mysterious disppearance.
CrimeOnline reached Chaffee County Fire Chief Robert Bertram, who confirmed that Barry Morphew is one of about 40 volunteer firefighters in the county. Asked if he had any information about a possible training that Morphew had attended on May 10, Bertram said it was the first he’d heard of it.
“Due to [the coronavirus pandemic],
our firefighters have not been attending any trainings sponsored by us,” Bertram said, adding that sometimes firefighters will pay for training courses on their own.
The fire chief said he had heard, rather, that Morphew had been working a landscaping job in Denver on May 10.
The fire chief has not had direct contact with Barry Morphew since Suzanne disappeared, but has spoken to firefighters who have. He said that Barry is staying with a friend in the area, “pacing around, staring out windows,” hoping for information about his wife. The friend is not a member of the fire department, Bertram said, though some Chaffee County firefighters have seen Barry at the friend’s home since the investigation began.
