November 10 marks the 6-month anniversary of the Suzanne Morphew missing person case. In a message from Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze, he notes the bitter anniversary and that in spite of numerous searches and countless investigative interviews, and hundreds of tips reported in this case, her whereabouts remain a mystery.

“We thank you, our community, for your assistance, concern, and patience,” said Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze. “Suzanne is missing. We in law enforcement hope for the best but prepare for the worst. The worst-case scenario is that something unlawful occurred, and as such, we go about our investigation ensuring we are working within the rules of law and treating everything we learn as potential evidence for court.”
Suzanne Morphew was last seen by her husband, Barry Morphew, on May 10, 2020. Since that time, the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office says that it has worked closely and tirelessly with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the 11th Judicial District in an intensive investigation to find Suzanne Morphew.
While specific case information is not available, Sheriff Spezze says he assures residents the case remains a priority. “To preserve the integrity of this investigation, we cannot reveal all we have learned nor all that we are doing, but we understand your frustration in wanting this case resolved quickly. That said, with each day that passes, we learn new information in this case.”
Spezze says that with the winter months are approaching, the task force assembled to investigate Suzanne Morphew’s disappearance continues to move forward and will conduct additional searches and other casework.
The task force continues to focus on Suzanne Morphew’s social media presence as part of the investigation. Investigators say Suzanne kept in touch with friends she loved dearly. They also believe that sometimes in these types of cases that people don’t come forward with information for concern that they may get someone in trouble.
Spezze says that for those who may be fearful to come forward, they can reach out anonymously and that investigators can address concerns that might be preventing friends or neighbors from speaking
He encourages anyone who may have engaged with Suzanne on Facebook, Instagram, Voxer, FaceTime or WhatsApp to share any new information they may have. Those who haven’t been interviewed who may have information, are asked to contact the Suzanne Morphew tip line, regardless of how insignificant you think the information may be, or whether you think investigators are already aware of it.
The number for the Suzanne Morphew Tip line: 719-312-7530.
