Coquille, Ore. -- An autopsy was performed Saturday on the body of Jayme Sue Austin.

 

Authorities discovered that Austin died of asphyxiation caused by manual strangulation.  Austin's Brother-In-Law, Patrick Horath, will be arraigned on Murder Charges Monday.

 

Officials discovered Austin's body in a shallow grave site off of Middle Creek Road in rural Coos County.  Austin was reported missing on Monday after she did not show up to work.  Investigators say Horath was arrested shortly before the discovery.
