After three years, the search for Suzanne Morphew is over. Remains discovered near Moffat have been positively identified as Suzanne.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced that the remains were discovered during a search on September 22nd. The identification was performed by the El Paso County Coroner. The CBI explains that investigators were searching near Moffat in Saguache County on an unrelated investigation.
“Specific information about the location and the state of the remains are being withheld at this time,” the CBI said, adding that no arrests have been made since the discovery. “Updates will be provided as information becomes available during this ongoing investigation. Family notifications have been made following the formal identification of Suzanne Morphew.”
“While this case has garnered attention from around the world, it has touched our community and the sheriff’s office deeply,” Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze said. “We have never stopped our investigation and will continue to follow all leads in pursuit of justice for Suzanne. Although locating Suzanne’s remains is a critical component of this investigation, and for her family, we are left with many more questions than answers, and it would be a disservice to conduct a news conference at this time.”
49-year-old Suzanne Morphew was reported missing on Mother’s Day of 2020. Her husband, Barry Morphew, had been charged with her murder, but charges were dismissed on April 19th of 2022.
