Still no ID for body found in Kankakee River
By Brian Stanley
July 13, 2017

WILMINGTON TOWNSHIP – A woman whose body was found Saturday in the Kankakee River remains unidentified.

Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said Thursday that the body has not matched any recent missing persons reports.

“The preliminary description matched that of a woman from Indiana, but that missing person had a tattoo, and [the body] does not,” O’Neil said.

Karena McClerkin, 18, of Kokomo, Indiana, was reported missing in October. According to the newspaper there, McClerkin’s family initially believed that the body found in the water could have been hers.

The unidentified woman was pronounced dead at 2:45 p.m. Saturday at the shoreline near the 29000 block of North Readman Lane. State police are investigating the death.

“If she remains unidentified, our next step will be putting DNA from the remains into the database,” O’Neil said Thursday.

Missing Portage Park woman found dead on shoreline of Kankakee River
CHICAGO NEWS 08/16/2017, 02:33am
Ashlee Rezin

Authorities have identified a woman found dead last month near the Kankakee River in southwest suburban Wilmington as a 24-year-old who was reported missing from Chicago’s Northwest Side.

Officers responded about 11:20 a.m. on July 8 after a homeowner found the body near the rear of the residence in the area of the 29000 block of South Readman Lane in Wilmington, Illinois State Police said at the time.

The woman, who was wearing a black, one-piece Forever 21 bodysuit with a chest zipper, size small, was pronounced dead at the shoreline of the Kankakee River at 2:45 p.m. that day, police and the Will County coroner’s office said.

On Tuesday, the coroner’s office announced that the woman has been identified as 24-year-old Martha E. Sanchez, of Chicago. She was identified through dental record comparison.

On July 30, Chicago Police put out a missing person alert for Sanchez, also known as “Tica,” indicating she had been missing since July 4 from the 5100 block of West Fletcher in the Portage Park neighborhood. She was last seen wearing a short turquoise dress and high heels.

An autopsy did not reveal a conclusive cause of death, which will be determined at a later date pending toxicological and police reports.
