A body found Friday in a burned-out chicken house in Mississippi is that of missing Illinois State University senior Olamide Adeyooye, who was last seen Oct. 13 at a video store, authorities said Wednesday. A native of Nigeria who moved to suburban Chicago when she was 8, Adeyooye was last seen at a video store near her off-campus apartment in Normal.
Dental records were used to identify the 21-year-old's body. Authorities did not release a cause of death.
"We believe she was already deceased when the body was dropped off" in Mississippi, Newton County Sheriff Jackie Knight said. "We believe the death took place in Illinois."
