Deputies with the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office and agents from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Federal Bureau of Investigation searched a residential property east of Salida Friday as part of their investigation into the disappearance of Suzanne Morphew. The missing 49 year old was last seen going on a bike ride near her home on Mothers Day. While the search has concluded for the day, CBI spokesperson Susan Media said in a news release that it will resume again on Saturday.
A new home is under construction on the property along County Road 105 where the search is taking place. Medina said the owner is fully cooperative with law enforcement and is not connected to Morphew's disappearance.
