DENVER (AP) — Authorities say investigators have found the remains of a Colorado woman who went for a bike ride on Mother’s Day 2020 and never returned. Agents with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation found the remains of 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew Sept. 22 near a small town in southern Colorado. Authorities said the remains were positively identified Wednesday. Morphew’s husband, Barry Morphew, was previously charged with murder and other crimes in connection with her disappearance. Prosecutors dropped the charges last year as he was about to go on trial. He subsequently filed a $15 million lawsuit against prosecutors and investigators, accusing them of violating his constitutional rights.
