Body found during search for Brissa Romero



Authorities found a body in a pond while searching for missing college student Brissa Romero, 17, and though cops did not immediately identify the remains, the teenager’s loved ones prepared for the worst. Her family prayed at the Shrine of Our Lady Guadalupe in Des Plaines, Illinois, on Tuesday night, according to WFLD.

“We just spoke to the priest, and they were able to give us her blessing and was able to speak with us,” Brissa’s sister, Dulce Romero, told the outlet. “Just calm our nerves down a little bit more, and if that is Brissa, then she’s in good hands with our Virgin Mary.”

The Lake County Coroner’s Office identified the remains as Romero, according to The Lake & McHenry County Scanner on Tuesday evening. Police did not immediately respond to a Law&Crime request for further information.

Law enforcement said Tuesday there were currently no signs of foul play.
