The focus of this year's remembrance shifted from wondering about Morphew's whereabouts to being a step closer to justice in light of recent findings.SALIDA, Colo. — On Saturday afternoon, a small but intimate group gathered at the Poncha Springs Town Hall for a remembrance ceremony of Suzanne Morphew, whose mysterious disappearance shook this close-knit community and garnered attention nationwide.
Unlike years past, there was no uncertainty about where she might be. The group talked about how they felt when"It's one step closer to justice... That hopefully will mean a conviction in her murder," said Denise Juarez.Tables adorned with butterflies and small pouches filled with forget-me-not seeds symbolized both remembrance and resilience, as the community vowed to keep Suzanne's memory alive while awaiting developments in the ongoing investigation.
The plan was to go Moffat after the ceremony to plant a lilac tree near where Morphew's remains were found, but the snow ended up quashing those plans. Melinda Morphew, Suzanne's sister, sent a letter intended to be read during the planting ceremony, expressing gratitude to the community for their presence and regret that she couldn't be there.
Juarez often thinks back to 2020 when she joined hundreds of others in the strenuous week-long search through the mountains for Morphew.
