DENVER—Investigators have discovered the remains of a Colorado mom who went for a bike ride on Mother’s Day 2020 and never returned, authorities announced Wednesday.

The discovery of Suzanne Morphew’s remains, which came as authorities were pursuing a different case, is the latest twist in a mystery that saw prosecutors charge her husband with murder and then drop their case. Barry Morphew then filed a $15 million lawsuit against county officials.
