In the multiple days of dramatic preliminary hearings, authorities have presented a mountain of evidence against Barry Morphew, evidence the believe is convincing enough to prove he murdered his missing wife Suzanne.
Scratches on his hands and arms, a bullet found in the couple's home and a tranquilizer dart located in the dryer are among the most damning pieces of evidence against the Colorado husband and father-of-two.
Barry, 53, stands accused of first-degree murder, evidence tampering and other charges in connection with the disappearance of his 49-year-old wife, whose body has never been found. According to Barry, Suzanne - who was having a two-year affair with married dad-of-six Jeff Libler - disappeared last May after going for a bike ride.
Barry's defense lawyer Dru Nielsen has questioned police's timeline of events leading up to the disappearance as he argues that the case should be thrown out before it goes to a full-scale murder trial.
But investigators have revealed holes in Barry's story that they say prove he murdered his wife.

Damaged door
Rohrich also spoke of cracks in the door of the master suite at the Morphew home where Suzanne and Barry slept.
He said he spoke to the former owners who said there was no damage to the door when he sold the Morphews the home.
Rohrich said based on his police experience, the door appeared to have been battered down.
Missing 15 minutes
