Coroner Says Leg Belongs to Missing IL Woman
OTTAWA, Ill. (AP) -- The LaSalle County coroner says DNA testing on a human leg found in the Illinois River shows it belongs to an Illinois woman who was reported missing earlier this year.

The coroner's office says in a Monday news release that the body part belongs to 43-year-old Susan Schultz of Marseilles. Authorities say Schultz was reported missing in March from the north-central Illinois city.

The right leg was found April 10 on the north bank of the Illinois River near Starved Rock State Park.

Marseilles is about 75 miles southwest of Chicago. It is about 20 miles east of Starved Rock State Park.
