“He went through a period, interestingly enough, just before he died when he was showing me one of his new houses,” Morrison said. “He came up to me and he said, ‘I love you so much, and I’m so happy to be with you now.' It was almost as though it was a premonition or something. I didn’t think about it at the time, but I thought, ‘How long has it been since we’ve had a conversation like that? It’s been years.'”

Perry struggled with drug addiction during his adult life, but had been sober for more than a year before his death from an overdose of ketamine. Looking back at their final conversations in retrospect, Morrison now sees omens.

“There was an inevitability to what was going to happen next to him, and he felt it very strongly," Morrison said. “But he said, ‘I’m not frightened anymore,’ and it worried me.”

Perry was the son of Morrison and her ex-husband, John Bennett Perry. Morrison later remarried Dateline correspondent Keith Morrison, and had four other children with him.

This past August, the Department of Justice announced that it was criminally charging five people for allegedly providing Perry with the ketamine that killed him: Perry's personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa; doctors Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez; Perry's acquaintance Erik Fleming; and Jasveen Sangha. Prosecutors have described Sangha as "the Ketamine Queen."

"We were and still are heartbroken by Matthew's death, but it has helped to know law enforcement has taken his case very seriously," the Morrison family said in a statement following the government's charges. "We look forward to justice taking its course and we're grateful for the exceptional work of the multiple agencies whose agents investigated Matthew's death. We're hoping unscrupulous suppliers of dangerous drugs will get the message."
