Saturday evening, a child’s foot was found in the lagoon in the 200 block of North McCrea Drive, prompting a search of the park. Investigators later found a severed head and other body parts, as well as a weight used to sink the evidence. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office has said the body parts are from an African American or mixed race child between the ages of 2 and 3 years.
The child most likely had short, curly black hair, brown eyes and the earlobes, suggesting the child might be a boy the medical examiner says, but it can’t be ruled out that the child was a girl.
DNA samples have been submitted and a dental consultation have taken place, according to a joint statement from the medical examiner and Chicago police. Fingerprints and footprints have been taken by police.
