It was Mother's Day 2020 when Suzanne Morfew, a wife and mom in the midst of a cancer battle,

allegedly went for a bike ride near her home in the Colorado Mountains and never returned.

What started as a missing person's case quickly spiraled into a web of confusing secrets that included an affair,

tranquilizer darts, deleted messages, and a husband whose stories just keep changing.

Hey guys, and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I am doing well, just sitting by the window and watching the rain clouds roll in, hoping it doesn't start raining as we are recording. Yes, and because I'm paranoid and it rains all the time, I am back in the closet. Back in the closet. Back in the closet. Not like R. Kelly. Wait, no, that's Eminem, cleaning out my closet. Right. No, but R. Kelly has something about a cabinet. You're thinking of two different songs. Hold on. Our Kelly cleaning out. Wait, no, what was Rke Kelly's? He came out. Trapped in the closet. Trapped in the closet. Melissa. But you know what I do need to do? Clean out my closet. So maybe that's really what I was thinking. Same. Yeah. It's always, every time I have to go in here, I'm like, oh, I got to start working in this. And then I won't. I'll just be mad about it the next time I have to come in the closet. But yes, we had a great episode last week, last Thursday is one of our extra episodes. We talked to Kate Casey with reality life with Kate Casey. And we talked about documentaries. And she mentioned one that I had not watched and I started and I am only

stopping right now just to record this and I want to get back to it. So let's get into it.

Which one is that though?

The keepers. It's the one the keepers. There are so many layers in that. But yeah, it just is so

much more than I even realized. But if you want more documentaries,

that's a great episode to kind of find, like, Kate who like literally talks to these directors and

everybody that's involved in these. And she has a memory like nobody I've met. How many times she was

just rattling off names. I'm like, off the top of your head.

Right. Like, and dates and towns, everything. I'm like, we can't even say a town whenever it's written right in front of us. And you just remembered it. So anyway, it was a lot of fun. And if you're looking for something to watch, that would be a great episode to listen to. Awesome. So today we're discussing the mysterious case of Suzanne Morphew. She was a woman who

really seemed to have it all on the outside, but her story took a dark and tragic turn on Mother's Day in 2020.

Suzanne was born in Indiana in the spring of 1971 to her parents, Jean, and Adrian.

She was raised with a sister named Melinda and two brothers named David and Andrew.

The family lived in the small town of Alexandria, Indiana, and they lived the typical small town life.

Suzanne was popular and well-liked.

After high school, she went on to attend Purdue University where she met one of her lifelong friends, Sheila Oliver.

Suzanne began a career as a teacher, but she eventually decided to focus on raising a family.

She married Barry Morfew in 1994, who is someone she actually knew from high school, and the couple eventually had two daughters named Mallory and Macy. As I said before, from the outside, this was a family

who seemed like they really had it all, but as we know, things aren't always what they seem.
