HANOVER, N.H. -

Authorities now believe a 20-year-old Dartmouth College student was murdered while studying in Barcelona.

Crispin Scott, a native of Seattle, Wash., was found dead last month inside an apartment that was not his.

Police first ruled that Scott died from an accidental drug overdose but are now calling it a homicide.

A 41-year-old landlord is behind bars, accused of drugging the college junior. The suspect's name has not been released, but police say he is Ecuadorian.
