As the search continues for Suzanne Morphew, a Colorado woman who vanished on Mother’s Day, her husband posted an emotional plea on Facebook saying he would do “whatever it takes” to get her back.
“Oh Suzanne, if anyone is out there that can hear this, that has you. Please we’ll do whatever it takes to bring you back. We love you. We miss you. Your girls need you. No questions asked, however much they want. I will do whatever it takes to get you back. Honey, I love you and I want you back so bad,” says Morphew’s husband, who is identified by CNN affiliate KMGH as Barry Morphew.
The video was posted on the Facebook page “Find Suzanne Morphew” and contains the number to a dedicated tip line established by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
A neighbor reported 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew missing on May 10, after she went for a bike ride in the area of County Road 225 and West Highway 50 near Maysville, Colorado, and never returned.
Trevor Noel, Morphew’s nephew told KRDO that the family has put together a $200,000 reward for the safe return of Morphew, offered up by her husband and a family friend.
“The $200,000 means that we’ll do whatever we can to get her back safely. No questions asked,” said Noel.
In addition to the local authorities searching for Morphew, her family is also conducting their own search on the missing 49-year-old woman as well, according to the Mail.
“We are progressing and are NOT slowing down the search. We are covering the mountains on foot and ATV when possible and all surrounding areas looking for any sign of her,” Noel said.
Authorities Discovered a ‘Personal Item’
On Sunday, members of the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office Dive Rescue Team searched bodies of water in the area where Morphew went missing, the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
Authorities are also now asking residents to preserve any video footage from their surveillance devices taken between May 8 through May 12.
In the days since she went missing, nearly 90 investigators have been looking for Morphew, using drones, scent dogs, and flyover missions, according to previous CNN reporting.
Earlier this month, authorities reported they were searching rugged terrain after finding a personal item they believe belonged to the missing woman.
In addition, Fox News reported that the FBI has also joined in on the search for Morphew, and according to Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze, her case was now an open criminal investigation.
The FBI has set up a dedicated tip line at 719-312-7530 for any leads.
