A missing Colorado woman whose body was discovered in September died by homicide, with drugs often used as animal tranquilizers in her system, an autopsy report concluded. Suzanne Morphew, who vanished in May 2020, 'died as a result of homicide by unspecified means in the setting of butorphanol, azaperone, and medetomidine intoxication,' according to the El Paso County Coroner report, obtained Monday by NBC News.

Prosecutors said in court that four days before she was reported missing, Morphew sent her husband a text message that read, 'I'm done.
