The public defender objected to the release of the arrest affidavit and the judge agreed to keep it sealed through at least Thursday.

Monday marked one year since Suzanne Morphew was reported missing. She disappeared after leaving her home for a bike ride on Mother's Day 2020. Her body has never been found and what happened remains a mystery.

Barry Morphew's neighbors said he seemed like a normal guy.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, ya know he hunted, he had his trucks, and he did a lot of landscaping work. That was his profession, that he told me, and so he did work around the neighborhood," neighbor Chad Heeter said. "Nothing that would throw me off."
