Suzanne Morphew’s Sister Says ‘The Truth Will Prevail’ After Remains Found.
Suzanne Morphew's family has released a statement calling for justice one day after the missing woman's remains were found and three years after she went missing.

Morphew, 49, was last seen on Mother's Day 2020 in Colorado and her husband, Barry Morphew, and two daughters have spent the last three years searching for her.

In a statement released Thursday, the family thanked law enforcement and supporters for their unwavering commitment to bringing Suzanne home.

'The Moorman family would like to thank all involved for the discovery of our sister Suzanne,' the family wrote in their statement.

'We look forward to finding long-awaited justice for Suanne in the successful prosecutions of those involved in her disappearance,' it continued.

Suzanne's 'scattered remains' were discovered in a shallow grave in a remote desert field 50 minutes from her home in Salida, 140 miles south of Denver.

The mom-of-two had gone for a bike ride but never came home. Her bike was found the day she went missing, discarded in a ravine near her mountain home.

Investigators revealed they found her remains 50 miles from her bike, in Moffat, Saguache County, while they were probing a completely separate case.

She had been buried in a shallow grave, the coroner called to the site said, and her bones then dispersed over the years.

No arrests have been made since the remains were located on September 22, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation confirmed on Wednesday. Her identity was confirmed on September 27.

In May 2021, a year after Suzanne disappeared, her husband Barry Morphew was arrested and charged with her murder – despite police not having found a body.

Last year, prosecutors dropped all charges against Morphew after a judge sanctioned the district attorney's office for discovery violations.

The case was dismissed without prejudice, despite objections from the defense, which means it could still be re-filed should new evidence come to light.

A source close to Barry Morphew told The US Sun that they thought he would be completely exonerated.

'It's a relief but also a great sadness,' the source told the website.

'We now know she's not alive, which we'd desperately been hoping (for).

'But we hope that Barry's name can be cleared because of the location where she was found and the timing of it all,' they continued.

Barry Morphew was working in Broomfield, a suburb of Denver roughly 150 miles from the family home, at the time of his wife's disappearance, and the body was found even further away.

Barry Morphew is suing for $15 million after he was arrested on suspicion of his wife's murder, only for charges to then be dropped.

John Spezze, Chaffee County sheriff, said
