PASSAGE OF THE DAY: "The most recent body discovered in Saguache County was Suzanne Morphew, but she is not the first. The mother of two had vanished on May 10, 2020, after leaving for a bike ride and was never heard from again. Her skeletal remains were found in a small burial in a dry field.

STORY: "Unveiling the Mystery: Remarkable Discovery of Suzanne Morphew’s Body Unearths Clues to Find Edna Quintana, Missing for 5 Months!," by Reporter Michael Kurt, published by Technotrenz, on October 1, 2023.
STORY: "SAGUACHE COUNTY, COLORADO: Two bodies, including Suzanne Morphew’s, were found in the course of the hunt for Edna Quintana, a missing Saguache resident, but her family is still waiting for news about the missing woman.
Police discovered Morphew’s bones in a shallow grave in Moffat, Colorado, last week while looking for Quintana.
Three months after going missing, 26-year-old James Montoya’s body was discovered in the same location in July, as reported by The Sun.
James’ mother Corinna Montoya stated, “Saguache County is getting a reputation for being called ‘The Boneyard’ just because they’ve found, over the years, so many bodies or bones.”
Morphew’s remains were discovered on September 22, more than three years after she was reported missing from the “The Boneyard” Salida neighborhood.
Edna Quintana’s family is still looking for answers
Edna Quintana’s family is still looking for information after she was last seen on May 3 in the vicinity of Saguache County. On May 17, a statewide notice was issued for Quintana, but as of yet, she has not been found.
Quintana’s cousin Augustina Edwards told local radio station KRDO, “Edna’s very shy, very humble, very quiet, very soft-spoken. You probably will not find anybody in Saguache that has a bad thing to say about Edna.”
However, Quintana’s family, who are fifth-generation residents of Saguache, Colorado, claimed that she was “not involved with a very good group” at the time of her disappearance in the first week of May.
They noted that over the past five months, detectives have been looking for her in Saguache County, but they haven’t succeeded.
When asked if the disappearance of Edna and the discovery of Morphew’s remains were connected, Public Information Officer Lisa Kohlbrenner with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation wrote to 11 News: “The Edna Quintana investigation is still active and ongoing so we cannot comment.”
Suzanne Morphew is the latest body found at so-called ‘boneyard’
The most recent body discovered in Saguache County was Suzanne Morphew, but she is not the first.
The mother of two had vanished on May 10, 2020, after leaving for a bike ride and was never heard from again. Her skeletal remains were found in a small burial in a dry field.
A year later, her husband Barry was charged with first-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence, and attempting to influence a public official.
Barry entered a not-guilty plea, and the case was scheduled to go to trial in April 2022. However, Assistant District Attorney Linda Stanley dismissed the charges “without prejudice,” which means that Barry might face new charges in the future.
According to a statement from his attorney obtained by People, the husband has stated that he and his daughters are “struggling with immense shock and grief.”
Investigators had discovered another body in the foothills west of Saguache Peak along County Road 46AA in July during a different hunt for Quintana. Later, the body was revealed to be that of James Montoya, 26, who had been missing from Lakewood since April.
James Montoya’s mother Corinna said, “Somebody was looking for their family member and that’s how our son was located. Our heart goes out to them. We are praying for them. I just hope that they have some closure that we found.”
None of the three families are aware of what happened to their family members."

FINAL WORD: (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases): "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices.
Lawyer Radha Natarajan;
Executive Director: New England Innocence Project;

FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions. They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!
Christina Swarns: Executive Director: The Innocence Project;

YET ANOTHER FINAL WORD:
David Hammond, one of Broadwater’s attorneys who sought his exoneration, told the Syracuse Post-Standard, “Sprinkle some junk science onto a faulty identification, and it’s the perfect recipe for a wrongful conviction.”
