Overview
- Prosecutors say GPS records and video show Morphew left home under a work exception on Aug. 26 and traveled to Denver International Airport and other Denver sites before an alleged hit‑and‑run that day.
- Alamosa County prosecutors added traffic charges for careless driving, leaving the scene, failing to report an accident, driving without a license, and failing to display proof of insurance tied to the Aug. 26 Denver incident.
- A bench warrant for failure to comply led to Morphew’s Sept. 3 arrest by Boulder County deputies and his booking into the Boulder County Jail.
- On Sept. 8 a judge increased his pretrial bond from $3 million to $10 million cash only and said that if he posts bail he would be confined to the San Luis Valley unless the court grants permission to travel.
- The underlying first‑degree murder case for the 2020 death of Suzanne Morphew remains pending with a not‑guilty plea and a trial scheduled for July 2027, and court filings highlight limits in private GPS monitoring that prosecutors say contributed to missed violations.
