Perhaps there were other businesses registered at her house besides the nonprofit that Suzanne was involved/worked/etc.

Yes, IMO - in Barbara Thomas disappearance they searched for days in the desert with dogs.Question: Does L.E. usually normally most of time spend all this manpower searching for lost folk before having family take cheap lie detector tests? Just saying since family co-operating.
My own curiosity is about how LE (in any case but especially this one) can rule out self-harm or suicide.
They don't know her, and suicidal people often take others by surprise. Sometimes, their mood and activity level improves right before they commit the act, as they are relieved to have finally decided a way out of an intolerable, painful situation (mental pain is real, depression is real).
Does anyone know how LE find themselves expert in such a matter or what kinds of clues they'd take as indicating "not a suicide"? I'm guessing it's totally circumstantial and practical - they didn't find her in the river or the reservoir, which would be obvious places for such an act.
But do they know everything about Suzanne? I don't see how they can. I've worked in a lot of psychiatric settings over the years (as a researcher), and suicides take even the most involved psychiatrists by surprise. People can be talking constantly about suicide and never do it, and someone else never mentions is and then does it. When it happens, everyone, even professionals, wrack their brains for clues. From that, there have been studies and publications about how an improvement in mood, giving things away, increased cheerfulness, reaching out to old friends and having a last conversation with each family member (all while being cheerful or at least not depressed-sounding) have emerged as prior "clues."
Given all that, why would LE be so certain it's not suicide? Just curious about your thoughts.
In a MSM interview, nephew said they are doing a private search. To my knowledge there are no public photos/videos of a private search.I hope so. Do we know if the family and friends are out there actively searching? Have there been any pictures posted anywhere? In most missing person cases, we see pictures of family/friends actively searching. I rarely get on FB or Twitter so maybe I missed it.

The closest confirmation I've seen for SM going mountain biking was reported in bicycling.com which states: She was last seen wearing a mountain bike-specific helmet and wearing a Camelbak.
Also the first time I've seen a Bicycle Magazine report on a missing person.

Don't buy it. Multi-task, sub out - just saying all taxpayer funds- also trying to determine what ".....co-operating but I hope it continues...." means (sheriff)IMO, you don't start with polygraph because you need to find the missing person, who might be in critical condition or a victim of some sort of crime. The clock is ticking...

And one of the people listed is a family member.The IRS has strict regulations regarding family members on a board of directors for a foundation - IIRC, one must have more non-family members than family members on a foundation board. So, if she wanted to include her daughters (who were likely minors when it was created in 2015?), she'd have to have five additional board members (4 family, 5 non-family). EDITED TO ADD - that isd a lot of board members for an inactive foundation.
Also, I wanna say, board members can't even be business partners, but that could just be a recommendation and not a regulation.

Excellent post. I agree 100%. Everyone is SO focused on the bike ride. The bike ride may have never occurred. That bike could have been placed there intentionally by someone as a way to divert the situation and it’s working. Listen to LE’s words. To how they phrase their statements. Also remember it’s the family who rushed to lean toward the idea she was taken when, as far as we know, there is no proof. LE has told us what they don’t believe happened to her and they won’t say she went missing on Mother’s Day. When WAS the last time someone physically saw her alive? Why was their security camera not on? All of this MOO.Official missing poster lacks descriptive info (height, weight, hair, eye, scars, tats, etc.), discouraging community from joining the search, no strong SAR presence, FBI involved, want people to hold on to their Ring footage from May 8-12, cagey with their words or just outright tight-lipped...
I think LE knows or has a good idea what happened, they're building a case on someone.
Chaffee Co. Sheriff John Spezze: "As you know, Suzanne Morphew disappeared on...[stops, corrects himself] ...became a missing person on Sunday, the 10th..."
I don't think she went on that bike ride, I think she disappeared before Sunday.
In a MSM interview, nephew said they are doing a private search. To my knowledge there are no public photos/videos of a private search.
I’ve been all over FB, IG and Twitter and I haven’t seen any photos posted of any family or volunteer searches going on.
The family FB page hasn’t been updated since Sunday.
