Body found at Starved Rock State Park
Police found a woman’s body in Starved Rock State Park Saturday morning while searching the area for a person missing since Jan. 30.
Seventy-three people from 11 agencies began the search Saturday after police received information that the missing person was possibly in the area of the state park, according to a release from Sgt. Robert Frazier from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police.
The woman’s body was found on a trail below Eagle Cliff and was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:35 a.m., the release said.
Starved Rock State Park is located approximately 95 miles southwest of Chicago, near the town of La Salle, Ill., maps show.
The body has not been identified, and it is unknown at this time if the woman is the same missing person police had been searching for, Frazier said Saturday afternoon.
An autopsy will be conducted early next week, the release said.
DNR Conservation Police, Illinois State Police Crime Scene Services, and the LaSalle County Coroner’s Office are investigating, according to the release.

I grew up in this area and went to starved rock tons of times. I find this really creepy and I don’t want to ever go there again!! =( So sad!!!!

Very sad indeed, but more sad to blame it on the park. Great place and she loved it there. She wanted to find peace and as unfortunate as it is the way she chose to end her life, we have to try and understand. I knew Theresa, and she was very distarught about losing her job. She sent me as well as many other family members and friends her goodbye letter.

Prayers go out to the family of this woman.
