Body found in SUV in Ohio River in southern Illinois
ELIZABETHTOWN - Authorities in southern Illinois say an autopsy is planned on the body of a woman found inside a sport utility vehicle pulled from the Ohio River.
Hardin County Coroner Jessica Cullum says the body and red vehicle were found Thursday by searchers using sonar equipment.
The family of a woman missing since late last year say they believe it's possible the body found is that of 39-year-old Chrisandra "Chrissy" Williams. She was last seen in early December leaving a home in Rosiclare in her red 2011 Ford SUV.
Illinois State Police are assisting in the investigation.
