JACKSON CO., Ill.—Officials with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department in Murphysboro have told Disclosure that they are “confident” that the body of a woman found this morning south of Carbondale is NOT that of Chrissy Williams’.
Lt. Mike O’Leary of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department told Disclosure this afternoon at about 2 p.m. that inquiries into whether the body found is that of the missing woman was paramount in the department’s dissemination of information on the matter, but stated that while the identity of the woman has not been released yet, the investigation so far has ruled out the possibility of the body being Williams.
O’Leary has advised that the body was found by a passerby at about 9:40 a.m. this morning (Tuesday, 01.14.14) on Potter’s Road at the intersection of U.S. 51 south of Carbondale. A death investigation was begun by the sheriff’s department and is in its early stages. O’Leary couldn’t comment on any state of decomposition of the body at this time, but did state that the female appeared to be about 30-40 years of age.
We’ll have more as we get it; keep checking back.
