Morphew was reported missing on May 10, 2020, Mother�s Day. On Wednesday,
the Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced her remains were found on
Sept. 22 in Saguache County while they were conducting a search for an
unrelated case. The law firm representing Barry claims that the case was
tied to a missing woman named Edna Quintana. Click here for more on
Quintana�s case.

At one point, Suzanne�s husband Barry was charged with her death, but his
charges have since been dismissed.

�Specific information about the location and the state of the remains are
being withheld at this time,� part of the CBI news release reads. �No
arrests have been made since the remains were located. Updates will be
provided as information becomes available during this ongoing
investigation. Family notifications have been made following the formal
identification of Suzanne Morphew.�

The public is still asked to report any information they may have tied to
Suzanne Morphew by calling (719) 312-7530.

The statement released on Thursday by EyTan Law Firm on behalf of Barry
Morphew :

�The first and most important focus should be that the Morphew�s just
learned that they lost their beautiful mother and wife after she
disappeared 3 � years ago.

What appears to be the overriding focus is a finger pointing right back
where it started 3 � years ago: a movement to blindly re-accuse Barry for
Suzanne�s death.

Here are the facts.

According to the authorities, Suzanne Morphew was NOT found anywhere in
the vicinity of her home, the town nearby, or the county she lived in. She
was found in Moffat, Colorado. Moffat is 45 miles south and a 45-minute
drive away from the Morphew home located in Maysville, Colorado.

According to authorities who found Suzanne, her remains were found in a
shallow grave in a dry desert field of sagebrush and natural grasses.
Contrary to prior accusations, her remains were not found in a rocky
mountainous region near her home, not in a location that was a �difficult
spot� to get to, or near the home and impossible to get to due to being in
a mine or under frozen tundra and buried under 6 feet of snow.

Barry was the most scrutinized, dissected, surveilled individual, minute
by minute, hour by hour using law enforcement cameras posted by his home,
phone taps and GPS devices placed on his car � all during the time frame
of her disappearance and the years following.

At no time did the FBI, CBI, Chaffee County Sheriff Office or DA�s Office
pinpoint or even generally claim that Barry was in any area south of his
home, near Moffat or anywhere near Saguache County at any relevant time
frame. It would be ludicrous for anyone to now try to fit the now known
facts to prior false assumptions and accusations.

It was the Saguache County Officials that fortunately stumbled onto
Suzanne�s remains last week while looking for another missing woman, Edna
Quintana. Law enforcement officials that were supposedly looking for
Suzanne, were never looking for Suzanne in the Moffat area or area South
of Maysville, because they only focused in on Barry being the suspect.
And, they knew Barry was not South of Maysville, and certainly not 45
miles South.

The authorities focused their search for Suzanne in the area near the
Morphew home utilizing his phone and car forensics. The authorities
pointed to the locations where Barry was May 9 and 10, 2020. Barry was in
Salida (north of his home), or in or near his home, and then on May 10,
2020 at 5:00 a.m. drove to Broomfield, Colorado, a city 156 miles North of
Maysville. He was never south of the house, and that is why they did not
search that area. See FBI�s map relied upon by the authorities about
Barry�s whereabouts on May 9 and 10, 2020.

The Morphew home, Barry�s truck, Suzanne�s and daughters� vehicles were
immediately searched for evidence of human remains and Suzanne�s blood
using both forensics and dog sniff searches. There was no forensic
evidence of Suzanne�s deceased body or blood in any of the vehicles.

What needs to be done instead of pointing fingers at Barry Morphew, is
asking the officials about the number of missing people and number of
human remains that have been recovered in or from Saguache County in the
recent past.

Whatever happened to Krystal Reisinger, Edna Quintana, Suzanne, the man
whose remains were found by Saguache County Sheriff�s office in the
foothills on July 26, 2023, or the remains of the person found in another
area in Saguache County last weekend (more info to come from authorities
tomorrow). What were the circumstances of their disappearances, what is
cause and manner of death of the remains found in the area, what happened
to them, are they looking for other remains in this area?

The public should demand answers about these five people who suspiciously
went missing or were found dead in this area.

The Morphew family and legal team believe that CBI, local law enforcement,
and the local DA�s office have a conflict of interest and should not be
involved in the future investigation of Suzanne�s death. An objective and
unbiased examination of Suzanne�s death can only be conducted by an
outside and independent team of investigators.

When law enforcement focuses in on one person and refuses to review
evidence objectively and fairly, it is a disservice to the community and
creates exactly what has come to light�years of unsolved murders.�
