"As the investigation into the Suzanne Morphew’s missing person case moves forward, Chaffee County residents are being asked to preserve any and all video footage from devices such as Ring doorbells, security cameras, game cameras, etc., from May 8th thru May 12th," the police update, posted on Facebook, read.

“One of the most helpful ways the community can aid in the search of Suzanne Morphew is by preserving these recordings,” said Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze.

“We are aware that some systems override video after several days, and we want to ensure video remains available if needed.”

Suzanne went missing on May 10, Mother's Day.

Suzanne has two daughters, Macy and Mallory, with Barry, and moved from Arcadia, Indiana, to Salida, Colorado, in 2018.

Barry, who was a landscaper in Indiana, now works as a volunteer firefighter for Chaffee County Fire Protection District.

The pair have been married since 1994.

On Sunday, Suzanne's husband released a public plea via a video shared on Facebook.

"Oh Suzanne, if anyone is out there and can hear this, that has you, please, we’ll do whatever it takes to bring you back," Barry, a business owner, said in the video.

"We love you, we miss you, your girls need you.

"No questions asked, however much they want – I will do whatever it takes to get you back. Honey, I love you, I want you back so bad," he said in the video.

The husband has offered a $100,000 reward for information on his wife's whereabouts - an amount matched by a concerned family friend.

Earlier this week, Trevor Noel, Barry's nephew, told CBS4 Denver that police had recovered Suzanne's bike on the same day she disappeared, but the sheriff would not confirm whether the "personal item"' they found on Thursday was the bike.

The “personal item” was found during a police search just west of County Road 225 and Highway 50.

The area is west of Maysville, about 20 miles from Salida, where the Morphews live.

"It’s really tough physically," Noel said of the searches whilst speaking to CBS4. "It’s taxing up and down these hills. And it’s emotionally draining you know being with the family and still being empty handed.

“We want to leave our options open and we want to make sure that we cover every hill… and know that everyone out here is doing everything they possibly can to find her.”

“And if there’s any chance that she could hear this maybe, I want to her know that the family wants her back and we love her we’re out there working for her.”

Barry was in Denver on the day Suzanne went missing, according to the family, reports CBS4.

The FBI and CBI are now involved in the investigation.
