Sheriff Wraps Morphew Search at Salida Residence

The three-day search conducted at a residence on County Road 105 on the east side of Salida has concluded.

Investigators with the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office, CBI and FBI went to a residence on the east side of Salida to follow-up on leads developed during the course of the Suzanne Morphew missing person case.

Investigators searched several locations on the property; however, they were unable to make any connection to Suzanne Morphew’s case at this time. Details about the search are not available, as this is part of the active investigation.

The property owner was fully cooperative with law enforcement and not connected with the disappearance of Ms. Morphew.

“We will continue to follow-up on leads as they are identified and vetted by sheriff’s office investigators, the CBI and FBI,” said Chafee County Sheriff John Spezze.

49-year-old Suzanne Morphew was last seen going on a bike ride in the area of County Road 225 and West Highway 50 on Mother’s Day.

Hundreds of tips related to Ms. Morphew’s case have been called to the designated tip line. The public is asked to continue to report any information about this case by calling (719) 312-7530.

“Someone has that key piece of information in this case that will help us locate Suzanne, and I’m asking our community members to continue to use the tip line to provide any information, no matter how inconsequential the tip may seem,” said Sheriff Spezze.

There are no searches scheduled for Monday.
