Over 600 miles away from Salida, Colorado, where Suzanne Morphew vanished on Mother's Day in 2020, Barry Morphew found an escape from the state where prosecutors initially tried, but failed, to convict him of killing his wife.Barry Morphew was indicted by a grand jury on charges of murder in the first degree after deliberation on June 20 in relation to the death of his wife, 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew, who was also the mother to two daughters. Barry Morphew was arrested in Goodyear, Arizona, almost 11 hours from where his wife went missing.Barry Morphew settled down in Cave Creek, Arizona, after prosecutors dropped murder charges in 2022 relating to his wife's disappearance. The charges were dropped after alleged prosecutorial misconduct and failure to comply with discovery rules, resulting in the judge barring several state witnesses from testifying.One restaurant employee in Cave Creek, Arizona told Fox News Digital he didn't know Barry Morphew by his first name and thought he was an entirely different person. Charlie Loots, bar manager at Harold's Cave Creek Corral, told Fox News Digital that Barry Morphew went by the name "Bruce."BARRY MORPHEW TO APPEAR IN COURT AFTER GRAND JURY INDICTMENT CHARGING HIM WITH WIFE'S MURDERLoots didn't know Barry Morphew's real name until June 20, when news reports began to surface about murder charges relating to Suzanne Morphew's death."I was shocked that, again, I mean, I was very caught off guard about all of it," Loots said. "I spent, honestly, as soon as I found about it, I spent like two hours reading articles about it. I was like, I was so intrigued, because I was, like, this s--- doesn't happen," he said.Loots said he began seeing Barry Morphew, or Bruce, as he knew the murder suspect, after the Coronavirus pandemic. He said Barry Morphew's go-to drink was beer, often switching between Miller Lite and Coors Light, adding that he was at the bar on June 13, exactly one week before his arrest.Barry Morphew "always was approached by other women" at the bar, Loots said, adding that he would frequently approach other women and flirted with them.BARRY MORPHEW EXTRADITED TO COLORADO TO FACE MURDER CHARGES IN WIFE'S 2020 DISAPPEARANCELibby Spruill told Fox News Digital she was one of the women Barry Morphew flirted with at Harold's Cave Creek Corral. Spruill said she was at Harold's Cave Creek Corral in March 2024 when he asked if she wanted to dance."He walked out to me and he said, hi. He's like, Do you want to dance? And I said, 'You're Barry Morphew,'" Spruill said.At the time, according to Spruill, Barry Morphew said "no, no, I think you have the wrong person." A bit later, Spruill said an individual approached them and introduced Barry Morphew as "Lee" from Indiana.BARRY MORPHEW ACCUSED OF WIFE SUZANNES MURDER: SEE HOW THE 5-YEAR COLORADO MURDER MYSTERY UNRAVELEDAccording to the June 20 grand jury indictment, Barry Morphew went by the alias "Lee Moore." A local gas station clerk told Fox News Digital he knew Barry Morphew by the name "Lee."Public records indicate Barry Morphew paid property taxes at the Stardust Trailer park and was self-employed. In Colorado, he was a landscaper and independent contractor, but he didn't hold any professional license to do either in Arizona.Colin McCallin, a Colorado-based lawyer and former deputy district attorney for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office in Colorado, told Fox News Digital the use of two aliases is uncommon."That's weird," McCallin said. "I mean, that certainly is evidence that this is a person who does not want to be known by his true name, maybe even, know, a little reckless with the use of those aliases.""It's clear he did not want to be known by Barry," he said, adding its possible Barry Morphew was trying to live a double life in Cave Creek, Arizona.Prosecutors wrote in a June 20 indictment that the chemicals butorphanol, azaperone and medetomidine were found in Suzanne Morphew's bone marrow. They alleged that Barry Morphew used "BAM" deer tranquilizer to sedate and transport deer on his farm when he lived in Indiana.Barry Morphew was also the only person with a prescription for the deer tranquilizer within the area of the state he lived in, prosecutors said. The only two other entities with access to the BAM compound within the surrounding counties were Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the National Park Service, officials said."Ultimately, the prescription records show that when Suzanne Morphew disappeared, only one private citizen living in that entire area of the state had access to BAM: Barry Morphew," the indictment states.Morphew's attorney, David Beller, previously told Fox News Digital Morphew "maintains his innocence.""Yet again, the government allows their predetermined conclusion to lead their search for evidence," Beller said. "The case has not changed, and the outcome will not either."Barry Morphews lawyer declined to comment.

Some weirdos out there," the person concluded the post.FLIGHT ATTENDANT DEMANDS PASSENGER SPIT OUT ZYN, LEAVING TRAVELERS CONFUSED ABOUT POLICIESThe Reddit story garnered over 3,000 reactions, with hundreds of users taking to the comments section to discuss seat reclining on planes."I think people are forgetting that its the airlines' fault [that] we are crammed in like sardines," said one user.One Redditor said, "I dont understand why everyone is anti-reclining if everyone just reclined, the whole plane would be more comfortable.""I really struggle with this because I see both sides. I regularly have to work on a plane and [am] 61". It is physically impossible for me to work when the person puts their seat in recline.

Candace Cameron Bure is opening up about the various weight-loss trends taking over Hollywood.In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Bure who released a new devotional,"100 Days of Joy and Strength: A Daily Devotional Journey" last week got candid about the "scary" way certain fads are reshaping people's perspectives on body image in Hollywood and explained how her faith has helped her in her own journey of finding and embracing body positivity."It can be scary, although I feel like this younger generation has already had so much more body positivity that I hope they understand that it's a trend," the "Full House" alum, 49, said. "I think of my daughter, and she just doesn't have the same viewpoint of body image that I did growing up, and especially as a child of the 80s and 90s. It's like mine's all messed up. I am middle-aged, and I still have all of these thoughts as to the perfect body and this and that, and it's troubling."CANDACE CAMERON BURE SHARES THE UNEXPECTED WAY GOD SHOWS UP IN HER 'SCARIEST MOMENTS'"Yet my daughter and her friends and all of that have way less, they don't think about bodies like that," she continued. "So I hope that they do understand that it's a trend. But yeah, it does freak me out. It makes me sad to see everyone suddenly becoming skinny because I think it's very triggering for a lot of people our age that grew up in the 80s and 90s. It was the Kate Moss era and you're like, Oh, this is what we have to be attractive."CANDACE CAMERON BURE ADMITS SHE 'WHIPPED' HERSELF FOR YEARS AS SHE STRUGGLED WITH BODY IMAGE"But we know that's not true," she added. "And we also know just to apply it back to biblical principles, that God does not love us more or less dependent upon our weight or our body size or our shape. He doesn't love us or value us anymore or less depending on how we look. He's a God of the heart that judges the heart, and it's all about who we are on the inside. And that is where I will continually go back to. No matter how the culture changes in terms of diet and what fad and what body type is in, I know that God loves me for who I am and my heart and doesn't pay attention to the exterior and places no value in it whatsoever."WATCH: CANDACE CAMERON BURE ADMITS HER BODY IMAGE IS ALL MESSED UPWith drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro used as a weight-loss solution for many, Bure said it's important to understand the "why" behind people's decisions to use them."I don't say this to just be a broad brush and be neutral when I say that you really do need to do what works for you," she said. "I think the most important part is the why are you doing these things? Why do you work out? Why do you eat well? Why do you want weight-loss drugs? Why? And those reasons are very different for all people.""For me, I have to come down to the Why do I want to take care of myself the way that I do? I want to be healthy. I want to enjoy my later years as I age. I want to enjoy them to the fullest. So I want a strong body. I want to lift weights. I want to eat well to nourish my body so that I can have a long life with my children and my grandchildren and my husband and I want to be active. Those are my whys.""And whether weight-loss drugs are included for you in that journey to be your best, that's up to each individual. And I kind of let that go," she added. "You see so much of Hollywood getting skinny all of a sudden, and there's a little place of jealousy as a woman that it's like, Oh, this is the easy way out. And yet I know that's not true for everybody. And I really had to just take a step back and say, Why am I jealous? Why am I feeling this way?"Earlier this year, Bure who has three adult children with husband Valeri Bure shared how she managed to develop healthy boundaries when it comes to body positivity."I've whipped my body," an emotional Bure told podcast guests Allie Schnacky and daughter, Natasha Bure, during an episode of "The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast." "I've spoken to it so harshly. So mean."Recounting a dream she once had, Bure said a certain Bible verse Numbers 22 allowed her to view her body in a different light.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"And then God allowed my body to speak back, and my body said back to me, 'Have I not been the body that's carried you all the days of your life? Am I not your legs that allow you to walk? Am I not your arms that allow you to pick up and feed yourself? Why do you hurt me so badly, and why do you talk to me so badly, and why do you treat me this way? I can lift you up you have to tell me what to do. I'm following your lead.'""And it was like this amazing revelation in my life," she continued. "And the weirdest story out of the Bible, that God spoke to me about how mean I've been to my body. I never saw it that way it's this beautiful, amazing thing that God gave me."WATCH: CANDACE CAMERON BURE REVEALS THE UNEXPECTED WAY GOD SHOWS UP IN HER SCARIEST MOMENTSBure admitted she now has "a whole different perspective of how I think about my body."The actress later took to social media to share a clip of the episode."I was so mean to myself and looking back it breaks my heart. Learning to speak with kindness to my body has been a journey, and I know Im not alone in this. To those who relate I hope you can feel me giving you the biggest virtual hug right now. And I hope youll join me in showing ourselves the grace and love we truly deserve," she said.She said her faith eventually helped her recover. "It was never about the weight for me," she told People in 2016. "It was an emotional issue."Ahead of her book's release, Bure also opened up to Fox News Digital about her personal journey of growth, shared the unexpected ways God has shown up for her, and explained how her new book will offer guidance and encouragement to those seeking daily fulfillment."I am always amazed because He always shows up, and it's sometimes in unexpected ways," Bure said. "Sometimes it's the way I want Him to show up, and sometimes it's the way I was hoping He wouldn't show up, but He did.""But what I've learned over the years in knowing Him and knowing His character is that He's always there, literally always there," she added. "So, sometimes, in the scariest moments, when I'm like, God, I need you with me. I need to feel your presence. Bring me through this. And sometimes you want the win at the end, He brings you through, and you're like, Yes, I did it."And sometimes you lose, sometimes you fail, but it's in those moments that I've realized, 'God, you were with me. You actually helped push me through, even if it ended up being a failure, even if I don't feel very courageous, and I feel like it just wasn't what I wanted it to be. The fact that I actually did it, I pushed through the fear, I had the courage, or I had the stamina to walk another step, that's because of You.'"

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino fired back at The New York Times Saturday for writing a "poorly thought-out hit piece" that criticized changes to the federal law enforcement agency under the Trump administration.The Times' opinion piece, published earlier that day and titled "Trumps Politicized FBI Has Made Americans Less Safe," accused President Donald Trump of redesigning the FBI to serve his own political goals, including through hiring loyalists, attempting to prevent investigations into his allies and by intimidating his political opponents."Mr. Trumps playbook for the FBI is plain to see," The New York Times Editorial Board wrote. "He is turning it into an enforcement agency for MAGAs priorities. Among his many effortsto weaken American democracy and amass more power for himself, his politicization of the F.B.I. is one of the most blatant.BONGINO ANNOUNCES FBI APPREHENDED 449 CHILD PREDATORS, RESCUED 224 KIDS IN FIRST 3 MONTHS AS DEPUTY DIRECTOR"Mr. Trumps politicization of the FBI has left it less able to combat terrorism, foreign espionage, biosecurity threats, organized crime, online scams, white-collar crime, drug trafficking and more."Bongino took to X to counter the news organization's claims with statistics he says demonstrate the FBI's heightened focus on violent crime and illegal immigration "is working."FBI initiatives like "Summer Heat," which serves to remove criminals from the streets, have resulted in the murder rate trending to be its lowest in U.S. history. Around 14,000 violent criminals have been arrested up 62% from the same time last year in addition to more than 800 violent child predators and 140 human traffickers. FBI agents also locked up over 50 foreign intelligence operatives for spying and smuggling harmful substances into the U.S., Bongino said in the post.FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR DAN BONGINO CLAIMS BUREAU CLOSING IN ON SUSPECTS WHO PLANTED JAN. 6 DC PIPE BOMBS"We locked up one of the most dangerous gang leaders in the county, and we dismantled gang operations in nearly every corner of the country, including the largest TDA gang takedown ever," Bongino wrote. "We locked up 3 of the "Top-Ten" most wanted FBI targets, and were closing in on another."Over the last few months, the FBI has also seized 22% more illicit drugs than in the same period last year, including more than 97,000 pounds of cocaine, over 7,000 pounds of meth and more than 2,500 pounds of fentanyl, he wrote.The FBI, alongside federal partners, also helped to imprison and deport more than 18,000 illegal immigrants, many of whom had criminal histories. Zero illegal immigrants were released into the U.S. from the border in June, and nearly 800 rioters were arrested for trying to stop law enforcement operations, Bongino said.FBIS TOP BOSS KASH PATEL SAYS BUREAU RAN COVER FOR HILLARY BUT IT ALL ENDS UNDER TRUMP"Id like to talk more about some of the incredible work being done by our counter-terror teams, but the information, as you would imagine, is classified," he wrote in the post.

But its absolutely getting done. Notice how The [New York] Times omitted these data points to tell you a story, not the story. And, even though its an opinion piece, they should at least attempt to insert reality into it."In February, Trump announced Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, would serve as the next deputy director of the FBI, calling it "great news for law enforcement and American justice."FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR DAN BONGINO: JAMES COMEY 'BROUGHT SHAME TO THE FBI AGAIN' WITH '86 47' POSTKash Patel, Trump's pick to head the FBI, was sworn in in February after a narrow Senate confirmation vote.Patel, a vociferous opponent of the investigations into Trump and one who served at the forefront of Trump's 2020 election fraud claims, vowed during his confirmation hearing he would not engage in political retribution against agents who worked on the classified documents case against Trump and other politically sensitive matters.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"We decline to comment and have nothing additional to add," the FBI told Fox News Digital in an email.The New York Times did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment.

A North Korean man walked across one of the most dangerous borders in the world and into South Korean custody late Thursday.The unidentified man, who was unarmed, crossed the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), The Associated Press reported.South Koreas Joint Chiefs of Staff said troops tracked him near the central-west portion of the border and guided him through the mine-laced terrain before taking him into custody.Military officials have not said whether the man was attempting to defect. The American-led United Nations Command was notified, and no unusual movement was observed on the North Korean side.SOUTH KOREA FACES HIGH-STAKES ELECTION; FEARS OVER CHINA, NORTH KOREA AND US TIES SHAPE VOTER CONCERNSThe crossing comes amid growing criticism of South Koreas shift in strategy toward the North.Since taking office June 11, South Koreas liberal president, Lee Jae Myung, has taken steps to ease friction with Pyongyang. He halted loudspeaker broadcasts that blasted messages into the North and moved to ban balloon launches by activists carrying pro-democracy leaflets, according to The Associated Press.Critics warn Seoul's stance weakens deterrence and sends the wrong message to Kim Jong Un's regime.In recent weeks, there have been reports North Korea launched thousands of balloons filled with trash like cigarette butts and diapers into the South, the Wall Street Journal reported.KIM JONG UN LEFT FUMING AFTER NORTH KOREAS NEW DESTROYER DAMAGED IN FAILED LAUNCHBorder incidents between the two Koreas are also becoming more frequent. In April, ten North Korean troops briefly crossed the military demarcation line before retreating after warning shots. Last year saw three similar incursions, according to The Associated Press.Thursdays incident involved not a group of soldiers, but a single man crossing from North Korea into the South. It is considered increasingly rare for possible defectors to choose this route; typical North Koreran defectors take a path through China instead.Diplomatic talks between the U.S. and North Korea have been frozen since 2019, when denuclearization negotiations collapsed.

A series of antisemitic attacks in Australia, including an arson attack on a synagogue in Melbourne and a violent raid on an Israeli-owned restaurant, has Jews in the Australian city living in fear and demanding officials take action.The first attack occurred when assailants started a fire outside the exterior doors of the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation. Around 20 worshipers were eating Shabbat dinner inside, according to SBS News. The police have not yet categorized the incident a terror attack.Avi Yemini, chief reporter for Rebel News Online in Australia, said the fire brigades rapid response kept "yet another synagogue in this city from being destroyed in a terror attack, like the firebombing of the Adas Israel Synagogue last year, which remains unsolved."AUSTRALIAS JEWISH COMMUNITY ALARMED AMID RISING ANTISEMITISM: FEAR AND ANXIETYLater that same evening, some 20 masked extremists terrorized diners at Israeli-owned restaurant Miznon. According to The Jerusalem Post, protesters chanted "death to the IDF (Israel Defense Forces)" and threw chairs and glassware at the restaurant.Yemeni told Fox News Digital protesters were "causing absolute mayhem" and escalated "to violence against patrons and the destruction of property, ultimately sending terrified diners running for safety."One protester was arrested by Victoria Police but was released and issued a summons.SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTERSBS News also reported that Victoria Police are investigating a third incident, in which offenders set fire to three vehicles, destroying one, and spray-painted a nearby wall. A police commander declined to say whether the paintings content was antisemitic but described all three incidents as containing "inferences of antisemitism."Alex Ryvchin, co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), issued a statement on X and urged that "all sides of politics and all Australians to condemn these deplorable crimes.""Those who chant for death are not peace activists. Those who would burn houses of prayer with families inside do not seek an end to war," Ryvchin said.Noting the "violent ideology at work in our country that operates on the fringes of politics and social movements," Ryvchin said "those responsible cannot be reasoned with or appeased.
