Summary
On Mother’s Day, May 10th, 2020, Suzanne Morphew vanished from her home near Salida, Colorado. At first, this case looked familiar: a small-town disappearance, a missing woman, a bike found off a ravine. But unlike the other women we’ve covered this season—Suzanne’s story has moved forward. Her remains have been found. An arrest has been made. And just three weeks before this episode aired, her husband Barry Morphew was indicted again for her murder.
In Part One of this three-part case, we take you through the baffling timeline of Suzanne’s disappearance: a husband with too many trash stops, a mountain bike that didn’t crash, and a Mother’s Day that unraveled into something much darker.
