Colorado resident Barry Morphew pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count of felony forgery for using the mail-in ballot of his missing wife, Suzanne Morphew, to vote for Trump in the 2020 election.
Suzanne has been missing for two years and Morphew was initially charged with first-degree murder last year in relation to her disappearance, but the charges were ultimately dropped due to discovery rule violations. Suzanne Morphew is said to have disappeared shortly after leaving her home in Salida, Colorado to go on a bike ride in May 2020. Five months after Suzanne was reported missing, her mail-in ballot arrived at the clerk's office in Chaffee County, according to The New York Times, and a warrant was later issued for Morphew's arrest for that crime only.
