Suzanne Morphew, 49, disappeared from Salida, Colorado, nine months ago, and the investigation into her disappearance is still ongoing. According to officials, she was reported missing by a neighbor on Mother's Day, 2020, after officials were informed she went for a bike ride and never returned.
Law enforcement partners aiding the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) in the investigation include the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the FBI. However, the CCSO has not provided an update on the case. A family member said Tuesday that officials had told them not to talk to the media.
The family is offering a $200,000 reward for information leading to Suzanne's safe return.
No suspects or persons of interest have been identified, and no arrests have been made. Suzanne Morphew's disappearance is now being investigated as a missing person case.
Law enforcement agents executed two search warrants at Suzanne's Maysville home in the weeks and months following her disappearance; a judge has ordered those records sealed.
Suzanne's brother, Andy Moorman, led a 6-day search effort to locate any clues related to his sister's disappearance at the end of September. Hundreds of volunteers searched for the missing person for 6,000 miles near the Puma Path home. However, the search yielded no evidence related to Suzanne's case.
After Suzanne went missing, her husband began selling their properties
Barry, Suzanne's husband, 52, raised eyebrows when he first listed the house for $1.75 million in October of last year, just five months after she went missing.
On Monday, the family home of missing Colorado mom Suzanne Morphew, which has three bedrooms and four bathrooms and is located on Puma Path, was classified for $1.75 million on Zillow and Redfin. The Morphews became the home's second tenants, having purchased it for $1.57 million on April 12, 2018. The sprawling mountain home has 7.7 acres of living space, is situated on the river, and borders a national forest.
According to the listing, every room has a view of the snow-capped mountains, and a natural stone staircase leads down to a park-like setting along the river. The house is wholly landscaped, has new fixtures, and is just a 15-minute drive from downtown Salida. The area's median income is $415,518.
According to a copy of the sales deed, he completed the sale of the three-bedroom home in rural Salida on Thursday. The buyer is identified as 'Mountain Renewal,' a Nevada Limited Liability Company.
Furthermore, both Barry and Suzanne's names appear as sellers on the deed, indicating that the sale proceeds would most likely be deposited into a joint account.
Mallory and Macy, the couple's daughters, had stayed with them in the house since 2018. However, Barry previously told CBS4 that he wanted to sell the house because the girls are afraid to stay there as they think their mother was kidnapped from there.
However, the family home isn't the only thing Barry has sold in the last few months. Suzanne's husband recently sold another property in Salida, Colorado, in addition to the Puma Path home. The property was a 2-acre vacant lot in the Longhorn Ranch Subdivision that he bought for $165,000 in June of 2020, just weeks after Suzanne went missing. He sold the land for $150,000 in February of 2021.
