DEATH OF WOMAN WHOSE BONES WERE FOUND IN CAR RULED HOMICIDE

Three months after skeletal remains were found in the back seat of an abandoned car in west suburban Forest Park, the unidentified woman’s death has been ruled a homicide.

About 7: 50 p. m. on June 28, authorities were called to an alley in the 1000 block of Lathrop Avenue, according to Forest Park police.

A resident of the block rented a parking space to someone who abandoned his vehicle on the property, police said. The resident was going to clean out the car and have it towed off the property.

The resident broke the car window to get inside and saw a garbage can in the back seat, police said. He removed the garbage can and discovered remains inside.

An autopsy found that the death was a homicide by unspecified means, probably asphyxia. Jordan Owen
