A Colorado judge raised accused wife killer Barry Morphew’s bond to $10 million after prosecutors said he left the scene of a crash that happened after an airport trip to pick up his daughter.

Morphew was indicted by a grand jury on June 20, 2025, on a first-degree murder after deliberation charge tied to the death of his wife, 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew, a mother of two daughters. Suzanne disappeared on Mother’s Day in 2020 in Colorado, where the couple lived. Barry Morphew was later arrested in Goodyear, Arizona, nearly 11 hours from the area where his wife was last seen.

According to prosecutors, Morphew was involved in an alleged hit-and-run crash on Aug. 26 around 7:30 p.m. after a witness reported seeing him drive “aggressively” before hitting two vehicles. CBS News obtained video showing an exchange between Morphew and another driver, during which he allegedly refused to provide his name or identification and said he did not have insurance. Boulder County sheriff’s deputies arrested him on Sept. 3, and he remains in custody.

Authorities said Morphew offered the other driver $300 for the damage to her vehicle, but she declined the money. Video from the scene also showed him using a T-shirt and his hand to buff scratches on the woman’s car.

At the time, prosecutors said Barry Morphew was picking up his daughter from the airport.

Prosecutors said that once the other driver turned down Barry Morphew’s $300 offer and told him she intended to contact police, he left the scene, nearly striking another person and mounting a curb as he did so.

The conditions of Barry Morphew’s original bond included not traveling outside of his home except under specific circumstances like work or a medical emergency and would be monitored by GPS.

Alamosa County District Judge Amanda Hopkins on Tuesday increased Barry Morphew’s bond to $10 million cash after prosecutor Fred Johnson argued that he is a flight risk and could leave the country.

“Mr. Morphew has shown time and again that he has no respect for any order of this court, and he is not going to comply with it if it is an inconvenience to the lifestyle he wishes to live while out on bond,” Hopkins said.

“We are very, very concerned he has just demonstrated what he’s going to do when push comes to shove,” Johnson said during the hearing.

Barry Morphew’s lawyers argued that he is not a flight risk, stating that he hasn’t fled over a period of five years and said the recent accusation doesn’t warrant an increase in bond.

Prosecutors wrote in the June 2025 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. He has pleaded not guilty to one count of first-degree murder.

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 News Media 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.”

News Media reached out to Morphew’s lawyer for comment.

Dolly Parton’s heartbroken sister, Stella, has said the country music legend chose to keep her cancer diagnosis hidden from many members of her own family.

Parton died at the age of 80 on August 25, following months of unexplained health concerns that had forced her to cancel several public appearances and left fans increasingly anxious about her condition.

After her death, it was confirmed that the beloved Queen of Country had been privately undergoing treatment for cancer, although the exact type of the disease was not made public.

Now Stella, 77, has shed light on her sister’s decision to opt for discretion on the subject of her medical issues, speaking to Gayle King on CBS Mornings.

Stella said Dolly “did not want anybody to tell” the public, explaining that her sister struggled with negativity and would never have wanted her devoted fans to worry about her health battle.

According to Stella, Parton also hoped to spare much of the family from distress. While “some of us knew,” particularly those closest to her, she said, the diagnosis was not shared with every relative.

Stella insisted that Parton ‘did not want people sad and she did not want people worried. She’d be really happy and delighted that people have shown her so much love because she knew that that would make us feel better as her family.’

The ‘bottom line’ was that Parton’s family – as well as those of her late husband Carl Dean and ‘probably’ her best friend and assistant Judy Ogle – ‘are the people that she would want to say: “Well, see? Everything I did, they cared. They really loved me!”‘

Parton died four days after being admitted to Nashville’s Vanderbilt University Medical Center, according to a report in TMZ.

Her loved ones began racing to Nashville upon hearing news of her hospitalization, but not all were able to reach her while she was alive. 

The Jolene singer’s death was confirmed the day it occurred in an Instagram video posted by her nephew Bryan Seaver, who also acted as her head of security.

‘This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,’ Seaver said.

He hailed his aunt for having ‘lived in the light’ and said she was now ‘in the arms of Jesus’ and the company of her late husband Carl Dean, as well as her parents and ‘countless others who have watched her and longed to meet her in the heavens.’

Three days after she died, an intimate group of loved ones including Seaver was seen gathering at her burial site, the Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Nashville.

Seaver had previously disclosed Parton would be interred in high heels in the same mausoleum that houses the remains of her husband of over half a century.

While it was initially unclear whether Parton was buried at that event, her niece later confirmed that the singer had been ‘laid to rest’ at some point that day. 

In his Instagram video announcing her death, Seaver had relayed Parton’s wish ‘to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life of wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have some rest.’ 

Dean died aged 82 of causes that have remained private in March 2025, two months before what would have been his and Parton’s 59th wedding anniversary. 

Parton enjoyed an illustrious music career spanning six decades and was arguably best known for her hits Jolene and 9 to 5. 

The fourth of 12 children, six of whom are now still living, Parton was born in Pittman Center, Tennessee, on January 19, 1946 and raised in the Great Smoky Mountains.

In an interview published just four days before her death, Parton had declared she still had ‘so many things I want to achieve’ and vowed to continue ‘working as long as I can to see everything come to life,’ via People.

She explained that she had been grappling with ‘some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over Carl.’

At the end of September 2025, Parton raised fan concerns by announcing that unspecified ‘health challenges’ had forced her to postpone her Las Vegas residency from that December until the September 2026. 

She shared the news directly with fans on Instagram, explaining that her medical issues had required her to undergo several procedures.

Then in early October of last year, Parton’s younger sister Freida struck fear into the hearts of fans by pleading with them to pray for the country icon.

‘Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly,’ Frieda wrote on Facebook on October 7, 2025. ‘Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.’

As panic mounted, Freida backpedaled, trying to assure the public her sister had ‘been a little under the weather’ but that she never intended to ‘make it sound so serious’ and merely issued her request out of a belief in ‘the power of prayer.’

Parton herself then posted a video of herself in hair, makeup and costume at an ad shoot for the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in order to comfort her fans.

‘Do I look sick to you?’ she chirpily asked, adding that ‘I appreciate your prayers, because I’m a person of faith, I can always use the prayers for anything and everything, but I want you to know that I’m okay!’

San Diego Padres fans have plenty of reason to be encouraged about where the franchise may be headed under its new ownership group, led by José E. Feliciano and his wife and business partner, Kwanza Jones.

The group purchased the Padres last month in a deal valued at $3.9 billion, and their early public comments — especially those from Jones — have pointed toward an ambitious vision of turning San Diego into one of baseball’s premier organizations.

Now, speculation is growing that their interest in San Diego sports could extend beyond the Padres, fueled by an Instagram post Jones shared Tuesday.

“Sometimes it’s a matter of perspective. Mindset matters. Some people see a sidewalk. I stopped because I saw so much more: color, texture, composition, possibility,” Jones wrote in the caption. The image showed a section of pavement painted in the Chargers’ colors.

“Art at the intersection 📷 / I’ve always moved through the world this way. Intensely curious. It’s not always about what’s there. It’s also about what else could be,” she continued.

“Here’s to seeing differently ⚡️,” it concluded.

If the cryptic message and the photo with the Chargers’ colors wasn’t enough to convey what Jones was likely alluding to, but her including the lightning bolt emoji at the end of her caption painted a pretty clear picture.

Of course, Jones making a social media post hinting at her interest in the Chargers is a far cry from the NFL franchise actually returning to the city it left before the 2017 season.

Chargers owner Dean Spanos essentially held the city of San Diego hostage, demanding its residents pay for a new stadium. When that did not happen, he moved the team 100 miles north to Los Angeles.

But the Chargers have not found a home in LA. Jokes circulate that they are forced to play 17 road games per season, knowing the road fans outnumber Chargers powder blue seemingly each week. Residents of San Diego are unlikely to welcome the team back if Spanos were at the head of the table, but a new ownership group, that would likely spur some excitement.

Nearly a decade after Snowfall first pulled viewers into its gritty world, FX and Hulu are expanding the story with a new spinoff, The Drop: A Snowfall Saga.

Set in 1990s Los Angeles, the series picks up in the shadow of the crack cocaine crisis, following two familiar fan favorites as they try to outrun their pasts and build new lives.

As the streets give way to studios, West Coast rap is exploding into what some are calling “the new Gold Rush” — and Wanda Bell is determined to claim her place in it.

Gail Bean reprises her role as Wanda, who is now chasing a future as an up-and-coming artist.

“Wanda is a dreamer with a clear vision, and she’s trying to create a life that is the total opposite of where she came from,” Bean says. “You want to root for her. We always root for the underdog.”

Isaiah John returns as Leon Simmons, who is leaving his life on the street behind and is now running a free legal clinic for the community.

“Leon is in a space where he’s trying to right a lot of his wrongs,” says John.

He calls this spinoff series a “fun ride.”

“We have a lot of a lot of good arcs that are brewing up that you’re going to get to follow over the the next eight episodes,” he says.

They say this is a story of loyalty and survival, ambition and reconciliation.

“There is explosion and love, tears, anger and suspense,” says John.

“And family,” adds Bean. “It is a hero’s journey.”

“We’re about to bless your TV screens with some great storytelling, honestly,” says John. “It’s a gift from us to to the world.”

“The Drop: A Snowfall Saga” airs on FX and streams on Hulu.
