On Tuesday, Aurora police and the Kane County coroner announced that remains found in Kane County late last year have been identified as those of an Aurora woman, Tyesha Bell, missing for almost 18 years.
Bell was last seen by her sister on May 10, 2003 inside their apartment in the 800 block of North Randall Road, according to Aurora police. Bell received a telephone call then left the apartment with the television on, candles still burning in her bedroom and her two young children with family members. She was never seen or heard from since.
