(NEWBERG, Ore. ) - The Oregon State Medical Examiner said Wednesday that the female body found in rural Sheridan, Oregon on Tuesday morning was that of missing Oregon mother Jennifer Janelle Huston of Dundee.

The State Medical Examiner listed the cause of death as asphyxiation, and the manner of death is listed as suicide, police said. The results of toxicology are not available at this time.

Detectives have not been able to establish any connection to the property owners where the vehicle was discovered, and Jennifer Huston.

There was no evidence of a crash or damage to her vehicle and the fuel gauge was registering as full. Jennifer's body was found outside and approximately 40 yards from her vehicle.

Detectives and crime scene technicians from the Oregon State Police located the empty box of the sleeping aids that were purchased at the Rite Aid pharmacy, and a gas receipt from the Circle Kay gas station in Newberg.

Inside the vehicle detectives found a note addressed to members of Jennifer's family. Jennifer's purse and personal effects to include her cell phone, were also located in the vehicle. The cell phone was analyzed by our computer forensic detectives. There were no indications of nefarious actives.

Based on the totality of the evidence, detectives and the medical examiner have concluded that Jennifer had been deceased fairly close to the time she was reported missing, police said.

The Hillside Church has offered to accept any notes, cards, and flowers on behalf of the Huston family. Please contact Pastor Zach Elliott at, zach@beinghillside.com to make arrangements for gifts or other contributions.

The family wanted to share their gratitude towards the media with their help and professionalism during this tragic event.

However, the family has also asked us to release the following statement:

Our hearts ache today.

We have lost our first born child. We have lost a wife and a mother.

We don't know what lead Jennifer to this dark place and to this end and perhaps never will understand this.

We are incredibly thankful to family, friends, community and media for their searching, supporting and getting the information out that lead to locating Jennifer's car and finding Jennifer.

Additionally, we are grateful for the support of those who took the time share their words of encouragement and prayers on FaceBook and helped fund the extensive search efforts. This community really came together to support this effort as so many could relate to a mother of two small children and a husband desperately looking for his wife.

We also appreciate all the efforts of the Newberg-Dundee Police Department with support from other law enforcement agencies, on our behalf to find Jennifer.

Lastly, I'd like to thank the media for the viral coverage to get the message out of our search for Jennifer. We appreciated the sensitivity to our desperate search for her.

At this time we are respectfully ask for privacy from the media for Kallen, the boys and our extended family and friends.

The family will be holding a Celebration of Life at a yet to be determined date, time and location. We will post this on the "Find Jennifer Huston" FaceBook page when arrangements have been finalized.

The City of Newberg will also post this information on their website and FaceBook page.
