Overview

  • A passerby reported a body at the southwest trailhead of Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve on August 14 near 83rd Street and Chandelle Drive.
  • Naperville police said the clothing on the remains matched the black Adidas jacket, gray sweatpants, black headscarf and Crocs Olasinmibo “Sinmi” Abosede was wearing when she left home on July 30.
  • Officials believe the body to be Abosede’s but the DuPage County Coroner’s Office must complete an autopsy and formal identification before confirming her identity or cause of death.
  • Media reports differ on whether Naperville police currently suspect foul play, reflecting conflicting statements from department sources.
  • Prior search efforts on August 4 involved more than 40 trained volunteers, eight K9 teams and multiple drone operators in a coordinated sweep of the preserve.
