Accident – Death – Obituary News :
The discovery of skeletal remains at a house in Springfield has shed light on a mystery that has haunted the community for over a decade. Authorities have confirmed that the remains belong to Michelle Renee “Shelly” Bianco, who vanished without a trace in 2008.
Identification of the Remains
Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon revealed that a thorough post-mortem examination, involving experts in forensic pathology and anthropology, positively identified the remains as those of Bianco. The confirmation brings some closure to her family and friends, who have been waiting for answers for years.
The skeletal remains found inside a central Illinois home have been identified as those of a woman missing since 2008.
Investigation and Findings
Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell has stated that the case is now being treated as a death investigation. Investigators are leaving no stone unturned and are currently interviewing anyone connected to the case. The community is eager to see justice served for Bianco.
The grim discovery was made at a house in Springfield, where police had been called to investigate “personal items” found in a crawl space. Among the items was a purse containing documents with Bianco’s name, ultimately leading to the identification of the remains.
Background and Disappearance
Bianco was last seen on April 5, 2008, in the Springfield area. She was walking with her cousin when a man in a black Pontiac offered her a ride home. Tragically, this would be the last time she was seen alive. A missing persons report was filed three days after her disappearance, but her fate remained unknown until now.
Bianco would have turned 59 this year if she had still been alive. The community mourns the loss of a beloved member and hopes for closure and justice in the investigation.
