Coroner: Woman found slain in home with safe missing was stabbed
BROOMFIELD, Colo. -- A suburban Denver woman whose body was found in her home last October was stabbed eight times in the chest and torso and suffered blunt-force trauma to the neck, the Adams County coroner's office says.
The Broomfield Enterprise reports police have not arrested anyone in the death of 33-year-old Amalia Lopez De Mansilla, and investigators have not said if they have identified any suspects. She was found dead in her home Oct. 18.
On Oct. 10, Lopez De Mansilla reported a burglary at her Broomfield home and told officers a large gun safe had been tampered with. The safe and Lopez De Mansilla's purse were missing when police found her body.
Police believe the woman was out at the ViewHouse restaurant in Denver the night before her body was found.
Lopez de Mansilla had recently separated from her husband and lived with her two children, CBS Denver reported in October. Officials say they believe the slaying isn't random.
