The reporting party told the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office that their neighbor, Suzanne Morphew, had reportedly gone for a bike ride in the area and failed to return home. The sheriff’s office called Chaffee County Search and Rescue South and North and a search began immediately.
The Department of Corrections was contacted, and a request was made for tracking dogs to assist. They responded and joined the search. The search continued late into the night, then resumed again in the early morning hours of May 11 with Search and Rescue. They once again scoured the area without success.

This will be an ongoing investigation into the matter, and the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office asks that any person or persons who may have information to please call the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office at 719-539-259, or Chaffee County Crime Stoppers at 719-539-2599.
