5 months 3 weeks ago
TROY, Ill. — The body of a woman found in a field near the intersection of Lebanon and Troy O’Fallon Road on July 20, 1990, has been identified as Wynona Nadine Michel, nearly 35 years after her death. Madison County Sheriff’s Office detectives initially responded to the scene, treating the case as a homicide. Investigators determined the woman had been deceased for about a week before being discovered by a farmer. Hundreds of hours were spent on the investigation and numerous leads pursued, but the case remained unsolved and the victim unidentified for more than three decades. In late 2024, advances in forensic science prompted a renewed examination of evidence. Detectives collaborated with the Illinois State Crime Lab and the forensic company Othram to process the evidence further. Additional interviews were conducted, leading to the identification of Michel, a white female born on Aug. 23, 1959. Michel was 30 years old when she was killed in the summer of 1990.
