Six months have passed since 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew disappeared from her Chaffee County home on Mother's Day (May 10).

Despite rampant social media speculation and multiple searches, the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) has revealed little about the case; however, law enforcement has not stopped investigating.

"We thank you, our community, for your assistance, concern and patience," said Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze in a Tuesday (November 10) press release. "To preserve the integrity of this investigation, we cannot reveal all we have learned nor all that we are doing, but we understand your frustration in wanting this case resolved quickly."

In light of this recent update, here is what we currently know about the disappearance of Suzanne Morphew:
