Aurora Woman Who Went Missing Was Shot In Head

GENEVA, Ill. (AP) ― Kane County authorities say autopsy results show that an Aurora woman whose body was found in December after she'd been missing for two months died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Forty-seven-year-old Marilyn Bethell's badly decomposed body was found in late December in a wooded area about two miles from her Aurora home.

She was last seen alive on October 30th when she left her job at a substance-abuse treatment center in Hoffman Estates.

A Kane County coroner's deputy testified at a coroner's inquest yesterday that Bethell had been shot in the head.

Severe decomposition previously had prevented officials from determining how she died.

Police say the investigation continues.
