Body of missing Pennsylvania woman found in box on husband's former property
The body of a Pennsylvania woman who had been missing for more than a week was found inside a metal box on a piece of land formerly owned by her husband, officials said. The body of Katlyn Harp was found inside a metal box on a piece of land formerly owned by her husband, officials said. Credit: Pennsylvania State Police Pennsylvania State Police said on Sunday that Vincent Harp was charged with criminal homicide and tampering with evidence in connection with the death of his wife, Katlyn Harp. Who is Katlyn Harp? Law enforcement had been searching for 33-year-old Katlyn Harp since June 19, when she was last seen in Bloomsburg, Columbia County. Bloomsburg is about 76 miles north of Harrisburg. The investigation led police to a piece of land in a mountainous area of Columbia County on Sunday, CBS News affiliate WHP reported. Katlyn Harp's sister reportedly called police, saying she believed she had found her sister's body on property formerly owned by Vincent Harp. The TV station reported that when crews arrived, they found a green metal box that had a strong decomposing odor coming from it. When the box was cut open, Katlyn Harp's remains were found. WHP said the box was "on the mountainside, 180 yards from a cliff and just slightly north of Vincent's property." According to the affidavit obtained by the TV station, the husband and wife had gotten into a fight on the evening of June 19. Cell phone records placed Vincent Harp in the area where his wife's body was found on June 21, officials said, and blood was found on a UTV sold by Vincent Harp on June 24. Vincent Harp is in the Columbia County Corrections Facility. He was denied bail.

Husband of Suzanne Morphew back in Colorado to face murder charge for a second time
DENVER — The husband of a woman whose remains were discovered over three years after she was reported missing on Mother's Day 2020 has arrived in Colorado to face a first-degree murder charge in her death for a second time. Barry Morphew was being held in the small city of Alamosa on Monday, 12th Judicial District Attorney Anne E. Kelly said in a statement. Morphew was arrested June 20 in Arizona after being newly indicted in the death of Suzanne Morphew, three years after the initial case against him was dropped because of prosecutorial issues with evidence. He waived his right to challenge his extradition and has been waiting to be transported from a jail in Phoenix to Colorado. Morphew is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Colorado in the new case on Tuesday afternoon, Kelly said. A 2024 autopsy report said Suzanne Morphew died of 'unspecified means' but ruled her death a homicide. While her remains showed no signs of trauma, investigators found in her bone marrow a drug cocktail used to tranquilize wildlife that her husband had a prescription for, according to the indictment. Barry Morphew has maintained his innocence since his wife disappeared, and his attorney David Beller blasted the new indictment. 'Yet again, the government allows their predetermined conclusion to lead their search for evidence,' Beller said in a statement at the time. 'Barry maintains his innocence. The case has not changed, and the outcome will not either.' Beller didn't immediately return an email or a telephone message seeking comment on Monday. The mystery surrounding Suzanne Morphew began when the 49-year-old mother of two daughters, who lived near the small mountain community of Salida, Colorado, was reported missing on Mother's Day 2020. Her mountain bike and helmet were found in separate spots not far from her home, but investigators suspected the bike was purposefully thrown into a ravine because there were no indications of a crash. A week after his wife went missing, Barry Morphew posted a video on Facebook pleading for her safe return and the case quickly drew attention. In May 2021, prosecutors charged him with murder. They dropped the case the following year just as Morphew was about to stand trial. A judge had barred prosecutors from calling key witnesses after the attorneys repeatedly failed to follow rules for turning over evidence in Morphew's favor. The judge allowed prosecutors the option of filing charges against Morphew later. Barry Morphew had filed a $15 million lawsuit against county officials, accusing them of violating his constitutional rights. His lawyers also filed a complaint asking that the prosecutors be disciplined for allegedly intentionally withholding evidence. The district attorney who prosecuted him the first time, Linda Stanley, was later ordered disbarred by regulators who found she mismanaged the case and made unethical comments to the media about it and other cases. Suzanne Morphew's body was not found until September 2023, when Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents stumbled upon her skeletal remains in a shallow grave during an unrelated search near the small southern Colorado town of Moffat, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of the Morphews' home. The majority of Suzanne Morphew's bones were recovered and many were significantly bleached, according to the indictment. Investigators found at the site a port through which Suzanne Morphew could receive medicine to treat follicular lymphoma, a type of blood cancer that she had. They also found biking clothes similar to what she was known to wear. Based on the condition of the remains and clothes, a forensic anthropologist theorized that the body likely decomposed elsewhere, the indictment said, before being moved to the site. Toxicology testing revealed that three drugs found in a sedative used for wildlife called 'BAM' were in her bone marrow. The coroner's office determined the cause of death was 'homicide by unspecified means' through intoxication of the three drugs, butorphanol, azaperone and medetomidine. Barry Morphew obtained and filled several prescriptions for BAM while living in Indiana, shortly before the Morphews moved to Colorado in 2018. He was a deer farmer in Indiana and allegedly told investigators he used BAM to tranquilize deer in Indiana and Colorado, according to the indictment. In the area surrounding their home, no private citizens or businesses, only Colorado Parks and Wildlife and National Park Service officials, had obtained BAM between 2017 and 2020, records show. No government officials reported missing BAM supplies. '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 concluded. ___ This version corrects that Morphew's attorney spoke about indictment June 20, not last week.

Man, 92, to be sentenced for rape and murder of woman in 1967
A 92-year-old man is to be sentenced after being convicted of the rape and murder of an elderly widow in 1967. Ryland Headley was found guilty of both charges by a jury at Bristol Crown Court on Monday afternoon, in what is thought to be the UK's longest-running cold case to be solved. He was 34 when he forced open a window at the home of Louisa Dunne, 75, in the Easton area of Bristol in June 1967 before attacking her. Mrs Dunne, a mother-of-two, was found dead by neighbours in the front room of her terraced home in Britannia Road on the morning of June 28. A pathologist concluded that Mrs Dunne died from asphyxia due to strangulation and pressure on her mouth, probably from a hand being held over it. Bristol Constabulary, as the force was then, launched a huge investigation, taking the palm prints of 19,000 men and boys in an attempt to find a match to one left on an upstairs window. But the case remained unsolved for more than 50 years until Avon and Somerset Police detectives sent items from the original investigation for DNA testing for the first time. Semen recovered from a blue skirt worn by Mrs Dunne matched Headley's DNA to a ratio that meant it was a billion times more likely to be from him than anybody else. When his left palm print was finally taken, in November last year, it matched the print left at the scene. Since Mrs Dunne's murder, Headley had moved his family to Ipswich, where he was jailed for raping two elderly women after forcing open windows at their homes in October 1977. Headley, of Clarence Road, Ipswich, denied Mrs Dunne's rape and murder but was found guilty by a jury after nine hours and 53 minutes of deliberations. Mr Justice Sweeting will sentence him on Tuesday morning.
