CHICAGO – Exactly what happened to the person whose skeletal remains are there were found next to the Kennedy Expressway in Bucktown on October 7 will remain a mystery.
Chicago police officers who initially responded to the scene called state troopers to the embankment along Kennedy outbound near Webster Avenue around 12:25 a.m. on October 6.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office has launched an investigation, but the results, released this week, leave many questions unanswered.
According to the results, the medical examiner’s team determined that the remains were human. However, they could not find out who the person was, how they died, what their race was, or whether they were male or female. Investigators closed the case as “undetermined.”
