Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, did not return from bike ride, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #4

The double bagging could be a new policy due to COVID, as well.
Just thinking out loud.

that's a great thought - I need to go back and look at the other dailymail pictures.
in the meantime I did run across this early article - FWIW

May 13, 2020

A Colorado woman went for a bike ride on Mother’s Day, and hasn’t been seen since, authorities said.

Suzanne Morphew, a 49-year-old married mother of two, was reported missing Sunday by a neighbor after she did not return from a bike ride near County Road 225 and West Highway 50 in Chaffee County, sheriff officials announced Monday.

A search for Morphew, of Maysville, involving more than 100 law enforcement officials — including some with tracking dogs — “began immediately,” but no sign of the woman was found.

She remained missing as of early Wednesday, Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze told The Post.

Spezze declined to comment on whether Morphew’s husband is cooperating with authorities in the search for the woman or whether investigators believe foul play was involved.

“This is an open criminal investigation,” Spezze said during a brief interview.

I suspect that she went missing before Mother’s Day. Messages may have been sent from her phone up until a day or so before Mother’s Day. However, since it would have been very odd for her to be unavailable to actually speak to her daughters on Mother’s Day, the disappearance occurred. Not sure who was involved, but I’m sure the authorities are working diligently to find out.

And her phone may have been thrown away/disposed of the night before or the early morning hours of Mother's Day. If her body was moved, that might also have happened at night. JMO.

While members may continue to discuss whatever is in the Daily Mail and on Nancy Grace, please do your absolute best to formulate your post so as not to be making insinuations or direct accusations against anyone who is not officially named a POI or suspect.

We don't want to be responsible for re-victimizing anyone who is already a victim. In the Tori Stafford case, social media, the general public, and even WSers had Tori's mom basically tarred and feathered when in fact it was two totally different monsters who were responsible for Tori's disappearance and death. Let's not go there.

I live in Tori's hometown, and I will tell you, to this day, some folks still trash talk both her mom and dad, even though everyone knows who the monsters were that took her away. It's been 11 years and those "rumor legs" are still brutally (and disgustingly) alive and well.
So yes, your encouragement to be careful means A LOT.

So does anyone think it's a business dealing gone bad? Why did her husband talk to her in the video and not the abductor? I ASSUME he did not think she left on her own! He could have been tired and just emotionally depleted too. So now I assume they are searching inside the house, right?

I don't think it's a business deal gone bad or and abduction.

Sometimes people are acting and only make videos/pleas because it's an expectation. I hope that's not how this one turns out, but it happens all too often.

Is this the one you want?

“Everybody loves Suzanne and Barry,” family member wants Chaffee County mother’s safe return

Thank you nervous Nellie!

So sorry...in reading this it said Bob (as in uncle) lives in Indiana and the family in CO.

I'm getting my "Bs" mixed up.

But then, I wonder who is running the business in Indiana or was that sold too?!

Between words and actions I pay attention to actions. Between verbal and nonverbal I pay attention to nonverbal.

What is said and what LE does isn't always the same thing; I watch what LE is doing to understand where a case is heading.

so no double bagging here IMO - no outer plastic baggie - hmmm really makes me wonder about that double bagged evidence - I still remember the evidence removed from Gannon's home - we debated that for days - carpet, rifle, etc.

No.

 

[LietKynes]

Did he really say this?

Right. Agree.

Am speculating here in my posts.
Wonder if the husband will make any more video pleas ?

I'm thinking there is a possibility of a person known to them who had an incredibly lucky break and found Suzanne alone at the house.
Someone who may have worked for them or who knew the family from employment or a stalker type.

Whatever happened to her, it looks like it may have occurred before Mother's Day.
If Suzanne is no longer with us---- it's so very heartbreaking for this lovely woman who had survived cancer and appeared to be living a full life !
I would love to be wrong !

Is that carpet?

I just looked up the zillow page for their home in CO and that does look like the carpet in the pictures from the stairs, hallway and bedrooms. JMO

Evidence bags photo.....some envelopes of paperwork.
I wonder what's being looked for.

Paperwork pertaining to a separation?

There are so many things I wish I could say...but I know I shouldn't. I don't wanna be kicked off!!! I kinda like it here with all of you. I guess my husband will have to hear my rants...

Go back to the post and hit edit. Replace the words with DBM (deleted by me). I believe you have one hour to edit a post.

Well, DM comes through again with the first pictures. I hope everything stated is true. I’m hoping we will get some answers soon.

Great first post - well done!

Well, IF BM harmed her, chances of recovery aren’t great IMO and here’s why:

Not only is the terrain about as bad as it gets for a recovery imo, but as a firefighter he has all kinds of skills, not limited to, well “fire”, likely strong familiarity with wooded areas/maps and digging containment lines. As a landscaper he would also have excellent skills as related to grounds, not to mention all the distance in between there and Denver, or wherever else.

When one looks down over these cliffs, you see the tops of trees. If he threw her over the side, and animals got to her, or she went in the water...

Unless they can pinpoint an area via phone ping, etc., I’d say her chances of her being found are very low, again IF BM killed her.

I give this case a very low chance of a recovery, jmo, sorry to say. Hopefully I’m wrong.
