The disappearance of an Oklahoma woman now is being investigated as a homicide.
Authorities say 56-year-old Roxie Lenora Phillips Faizy was found dead about 7:30 p.m. Monday in a creek just west of Valliant, Okla.
The McCurtain County woman’s body was wrapped in a chain; and her hands had been zip-tied, a state investigator said.
It was today before authorities positively identified her body.
Faizy last was seen Jan. 25 at a tanning salon in Broken Bow, Okla.
She failed to get to a high school basketball tournament she was expected to attend.
A few days later, Faizy’s husband reported her as missing.
