CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - The brother of a missing Chaffee County woman continued his own search Friday with more than 100 volunteers. Suzanne Morphew was reported missing on Mother's Day, May 10, after leaving her home in Mayesville to go for a bike ride.

The searchers did find some items during their search but the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office said none of it is related to Morphew's disappearance.

Morphew's brother, Andrew Moorman, flew to Colorado from Indiana to organize a five-day search of the mountainous area where she was last seen. Volunteers met at the Poncha Springs Visitor's Center Thursday morning and split into groups for the first day of searching.
