Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:57:51 GMT

The discovery of Suzanne Morphew’s body more than three years after the 49-year-old mother disappeared from her Chaffee County home could be the key to unraveling the mystery of what happened to her — but the dropped prosecution of her husband thrusts the case into complicated legal territory, experts told The Denver Post on Thursday.Who should be charged, which prosecutor’s office should pursue the case and whether that initial attempt at a prosecution might hobble a second try are all up for debate, they said.“This whole situation presents many novel issues that are fascinating from a legal perspective,” said Doug Richards, a Denver defense attorney not involved in the case.Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents found Morphew’s remains on Sept. 22 near Moffat in Saguache County, about a 45-minute drive from her home in Maysville, where she was last seen alive before she was reported missing on May 10, 2020.

NFL coaches won’t often acknowledge their team or unit or position was overmatched in a game.Vance Joseph did Wednesday, even if it was stating the obvious.In the Broncos defensive coordinator’s first news conference since Denver gave up 70 points to Miami on Sunday, Joseph vowed to engineer a turnaround and took the brunt of the blame for an historically poor outing.“The speed, the angles, it was obviously overwhelming for us.” Joseph said of the Dolphins’ 10-touchdown, 726-yard outing.“Obviously, it wasn’t good. When your unit plays that way, my first thought is, ‘it’s me.’ I have to do better as a coach and getting guys ready for the challenge. It was a tough day from Play 1 to play whatever we played.
