87 Year Old Missing Man May Have Been Found Up A Crete - Coroner: Body found near Crete might be missing Chicago man

The skeletal remains of a man found this week inside of a car stuck on a drainage pipe could belong to  a missing Chicago man, authorities said today. A farmer discovered tire tracks in a corn field late Tuesday afternoon and followed the tracks to a Chevrolet Lumina that was stuck on a drain pipe, said Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil. 

The man saw skeletal remains inside of the car, which was in a wooded area of a Will County forest preserve, and notified authorities, O’Neill said. Personnel from the coroner’s office arrived at the scene near Crete-Monee Road and Western Avenue near Crete shortly before 6 p.m., O’Neill said. 

Identification found in the car matched information of an 87-year-old Chicago man who was reported missing in September, O’Neill said.
