The death of 97-year-old Corrye Brewer, whose body was discovered in January in Calhan, Colorado, has officially been ruled a homicide by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, and one of her family members may be responsible.
Brewer was reported missing on January 25 by her family during a visit, prompting the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to issue a senior alert.
The alert noted that Brewer had a cognitive impairment that could impact her memory, making her especially vulnerable in the extreme cold.
Just two days later, human remains were discovered near an intersection in Calhan and were later confirmed to be Brewer’s.
On April 9, months after the discovery, the coroner’s office released its autopsy report, stating Brewer died from hypothermia.
According to the report, she had been “intentionally left in the cold without any way to return home, get to adequate shelter, or call for help.”
The incident occurred during harsh weather conditions, with snow showers and temperatures dropping to 16°F on the night of January 24.
Local station KKTV reported that Brewer had allegedly been abandoned by her daughter at an unoccupied house, without her walker or phone. Her body was found days later on the same property.
Family tensions have since come to light. Brewer’s granddaughter, Shari Robinson, told KCNC that the family is seeking justice and clarity.
“We just want it brought out into the light. She is gone, and we hope that someone will take the time to provide answers for the family,” she said.
As of now, no one has been charged in connection with Brewer’s death. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate, and the case is expected to be reviewed by the District Attorney.
