A reward for information about the whereabouts of a missing Colorado mom who vanished after a Mother’s Day bike ride has soared to $200,000, according to a report.
Suzanne Morphew, 49, of Maysville, was reported missing Sunday by a neighbor after the mother of two didn’t return from a jaunt near County Road 225 and West Highway 50 in Chaffee County, sheriff’s officials announced Monday.
The reward for Morphew is now double the initial amount offered by her husband, the Denver Post reports.
“Police and family are seeking any information that leads to her safe return, no questions asked, and offer a $200,000 reward,” a missing person’s bulletin obtained by the newspaper reads.
Morphew’s nephew, Trevor Noel, told the newspaper he would resume searching for his missing aunt Thursday morning. The initial $100,000 offered by Morphew’s husband was matched by a family friend whom Noel did not identify, the newspaper reports.
A message seeking additional comment from Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze was not immediately returned.
Spezze declined to comment when reached Wednesday by The Post on whether Morphew’s husband is cooperating with authorities or if investigators suspect foul play in the case.
“This is an open criminal investigation,” Spezze said.
More than 100 law enforcement personnel have searched for Morphew over a four-day span, including some with tracking dogs. Several drones have also been utilized, sheriff’s officials said in a statement Wednesday.
FBI investigators have also joined the ongoing search effort. Anyone with information on Morphew’s whereabout should call a tip line set up by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation at (719) 312-7530.
