<p>Police crime scene investigators and plain clothes detectives have searched the home of missing Colorado mom Suzanne Morphew. The 49-year-old Maysville woman was last seen going for a bike ride, 10 days ago<br />
Police were seen carrying evidence bags and equipment into her $1.5 million three-bedroom home just outside Salida, Colorado, on Tuesday afternoon. Evidence bags were spotted being brought out and loaded into a van.<br />
A CSI photographer was also seen at the home, which has been taped off. .<br />
Suzanne Morphew has not been heard from since May 9. A bike owned by the mother-of-two was recovered from a bridge close to her home on May 10, the same day she was reported missing.<br />
Her daughters Mallory and Macy first raised the alarm after they were unable to get hold of her on Mother’s Day as they made their way back from a camping trip in Idaho.</p>

<span style="color: var(--color-text);">Summer Stehle, 43, the stepmother of 17-year-old Macy’s best friend, said: ‘The neighbors up there are spread pretty far apart but the only reason they found out [she was missing] is because the girls called the neighbors and said, &#8221;we never heard from Mom – can you go check on her?&#8221;<br />
</span>‘Nobody actually saw her on her bicycle, sadly.’<br />
Suzanne’s husband Barry Morphew, 52, has said he was away on a training course for his job as a volunteer firefighter in Denver, Colorado, when she vanished.<br />
On Sunday, he made an impassioned plea for his wife’s safe return in a video released via social media. He has also offered a $200,000 reward.<br />
Investigators have not allowed Morphew, 52, to enter the home he shared with Suzanne since he returned from his trip to Denver.<br />
Police also have his car and his cell phone – leaving the businessman and volunteer firefighter to communicate through his close friend George Davis, 33.<br />
Morphew’s fire department colleagues have been ordered not to take part in the search by police, although locals said Morphew and his friends have been out looking for Suzanne.</p>

Morphew was pictured leaving the property along with Davis shortly before the CSI investigators arrived to search his home on Tuesday.<br />
The search comes just two days after police divers drafted in from neighboring Pueblo County were seen scouring a reservoir less than a mile from Suzanne&#8217;s property.<br />
The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Department had been looking for Suzanne in two-mile ‘targeted blocks’ on either side of her home but did not conduct a search on Monday.<br />

Her three-bedroom home sits just off a remote mountain pass approximately nine miles outside of Salida in rugged terrain.<br />
Drones have been used to comb the area, along with search and rescue K-9s and cadaver detection dogs brought in from nearby Buena Vista.<br />
Summer Stehle, 43, the stepmother of 17-year-old Macy’s best friend, said:‘Unfortunately, now the girls feel partly to blame because if they hadn’t taken their trip, maybe they would have been there and she wouldn’t have gone out&#8217;</span></p>

Nelson added: ‘It’s a bad deal you know. They aren’t telling us anything. We got excluded from everything.<br />
‘George [Davis] put together a search team of friends – I was going to go but pretty much all our fire guys are on it so I decided to step away just in case we get something [a fire].<br />
‘Barry was very understanding from what I got from George. I know he’s not allowed to go home. He’s at a neighbor’s. I guess they got him there until he’s cleared or…’<br />
Other friends spoke of the family in glowing terms, noting that Suzanne had been happy living in Colorado since moving to the state from Alexandria, Indiana, in July 2018.<br />

‘This is not a normal thing. She’s a very happy person. Any time you meet her, she walks up, talks to you and makes you feel welcome.’<br />
He has known Suzanne and her husband for two years since meeting them at a firefighter recruitment drive in Maysville.<br />
Speaking about Morphew, he said: ‘It’s tough for him. Right now, as far as communications, he doesn’t have his phone – it’s being relayed through firefighters and that’s how we’re getting information.<br />
‘He’s been trying to keep busy – he can’t sit still and keep hoping something will show up.’<br />
Stehle added: ‘Her family’s wonderful, her daughters are wonderful. It’s really sad that something like this has come to such a good family.<br />
‘Unfortunately, now the girls feel partly to blame because if they hadn’t taken their trip, maybe they would have been there and she wouldn’t have gone out.’<br />
