Husband of missing Colorado mom spent the night before her disappearance at cheap Denver hotel | Daily Mail Online

EXCLUSIVE: Husband of missing Colorado mom spent the night before her disappearance at cheap Denver hotel, leaving the room reeking of chlorine and littered with insurance letters and wet towels, co-worker claims
  • Suzanne Morphew, 49, was reported missing on Mother’s Day and her bike was found near her $1.5 million Salida, Colorado home
  • At the time, her husband Barry, 52, was 150 miles away in Broomfield, Colorado, working on a landscaping job for transport company RTD-Denver
  • But their home quickly became the focus of the police investigation
  • Suzanne’s brother has accused Barry of refusing to take a polygraph test and said he doesn’t feel that Barry is ‘fully cooperating’ with the investigation
  • DailyMail.com can reveal Jeff Puckett, a co-worker of Barry’s, took over his hotel room on May 10 and found it scattered with wet towels and stinking of chlorine
  • A manager at the property confirmed to DailyMail.com that they do not use chlorine to clean guest rooms
  • The co-worker also discovered a pile of mail in the room – including a letter about property insurance – and later turned it over to the FBI
  • DailyMail.com can reveal Barry was granted guardianship of Suzanne in order to sell a property in their native Indiana on Tuesday

Suzanne Morphew - Chaffee County Sheriff

September 3, 2020

On Mother’s Day, May 10th, 2020 Suzanne Morphew was reported missing to the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office. Almost immediately the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office asked for
assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, CBI, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI.

A search For Suzanne started immediately and over the course of the past nearly four months over 100 personnel, including air support, water craft, underwater equipment, drones and
numerous types of K-9 have been utilized in an attempt to find Suzanne.

A tip line was immediately established and hundreds of tips have been fielded and are being investigated.

The investigation team has conducted hundreds of interviews both in Colorado and out of state and continue to develop leads and contact potential persons who may have information into
the disappearance of Suzanne.

With the assistance of both the CBI and the FBI our investigate team has tapped the full resources of both agencies.

As with any investigation our responsibility and priority is to determine the facts and maintain the integrity of the investigation. Our sole focus is either finding Suzanne or determining the
circumstances behind her disappearance and the only way to do this is to keep the information gathered as the result of this investigation under seal.

The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office, CBI, FBI and the 11 th Judicial District continue to devote our resources to this investigation. Not one day has passed since Suzanne was reported missing
that our investigative team has not been focused on Suzanne Morphew.

Our investigative team is committed to releasing information to the public ONLY when it is in the best interest of Suzanne Morphew and this investigation.

If there are new developments in this case or information is going to be released it will be disseminated through an official written press release.

Thank You

John A. Spezze

Chaffee County Sheriff
