Remains of Suzanne Morphew Found After Three Years, Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office Offers $200,000 Reward for Information Leading to Arrest and Conviction of Responsible Party

The remains of Suzanne Morphew, a Colorado woman who disappeared in 2020 and whose husband had been charged in her death, were found last week, authorities said Wednesday. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation said the remains were positively identified on Wednesday, more than three years after she was last seen.

The remains were located during an unrelated search near Moffat in Saguache County. Officials have not released the exact location where the remains were found. Barry Morphew, Suzanne’s husband, had been charged with her murder, but the case was dismissed in April 2022 at the request of prosecutors, who said the search for her body was getting closer.

Suzanne Morphew was last seen on Mother’s Day three years ago, May 10, 2020. Her disappearance made national headlines and the investigation was featured on the CBS News show “48 Hours.” She left behind two teenage daughters and a husband, Barry Morphew, who was the prime suspect in her disappearance.

The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate the case and has asked anyone with information to contact the sheriff’s office at 719-539-2596. The office is also offering a $200,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Suzanne’s death.

The discovery of Suzanne Morphew’s remains brings closure to a case that has captivated the nation for more than three years. The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office is still seeking information in the case and is offering a reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her death.
