The Suzanne Morphew case goes to Mother’s Day Weekend 2020 (the first of several COVID-impacted Mother’s Days). I’ll link a video with an essential recap in a second, but basically you have this couple Barry and Suzanne Morphew from Indiana, married maybe 25–27 years. They had recently moved to a $1.5M house in Salida, Colorado. He had probably had several affairs, and she was currently in one with a guy named Jeff Libler out of Michigan — funnily, the three of them (Barry, Suzanne, and Jeff) had gone to HS together. So this marriage is collapsing, and she just disappears on Mother’s Day Weekend. He ends up getting interviewed probably a dozen times by the police, and his story changes maybe 18 times across those interviews, but somehow his case was dismissed — but in a way where they could go after him again — because the prosecution wasn’t giving enough to the defense.
