A Plainfield family?s worst fears were realized Friday when a body found in an abandoned home last week was identified as the family member they?d been looking for.
The body of Cheryl Terry, a 32-year-old mother of six who recently gave birth, was positively identified by Plainfield police.
Last week neighbors reported a foul smell coming from 609 Field Ave. Police discovered her decomposed body on a bed on the second floor of the abandoned home.
Friends and family placed teddy bears, candles and letters of grief at the building where Terry was finally found.
The exact cause of death is not known and toxicology reports are expected in a few weeks. The public safety director said the investigation is ongoing, but homicide has been ruled out.
