FILE – This undated file photo provided by the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office shows Barry Morphew when he was arrested in connection with the disappearance of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, in Salida, Colo. in 2021. The original murder charge was dropped without prejudice. Morphew was indicted for the murder of Suzanne in June 2025.

Almost six years after Suzanne Morphew’s disappearance, her husband Barry pleaded not guilty Monday in an Alamosa courtroom. We catch up on the complicated case. Then, Denver is preparing for the next phase of its expansion plans at Denver International Airport — and that includes more work on the C Concourse. Plus, it’s something everyone who goes to the airport notices eventually: that little red barn sitting next to Peña Boulevard. But what’s its story?
