Suzanne Morphew's death has been determined to be a homicide. The autopsy report was released by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation on Monday.

June 9, 2024 4:22 pm

An autopsy report has revealed the Colorado mother who went missing almost four years ago died by homicide and that an animal tranquilizer was found in her system.

It’s the latest twist in the Suzanne Morphew case and the big question that remains is whether prosecutors will once again charge her husband, Barry Morphew, in her death. A previous case against him was dismissed without prejudice.

May 23, 2020 CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. —

Despite rumors circulating online, the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office confirmed Friday afternoon that Suzanne Morphew, a missing woman from the county, has not been located and there have been no arrests in connection to her disappearance.

The Chaffee County sheriff made this announcement at 5:08 p.m. Friday, specifically confirming that "in response to widespread rumors" Suzanne hadn't been found. Suzanne, 49, has been missing since May 10, which was Mother’s Day, from the Maysville area in Chaffee County. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Federal Bureau of Investigation have joined search and investigation efforts. That day, a neighbor called 911 to report that she had gone for a bike ride and never returned that day.

On May 15, Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze said investigators had discovered an item on May 14 that could possibly belong to Suzanne while searching the area west of County Road 225 and U.S. Highway 50 outside of Maysville.

6/25/21 UPDATE
