The search for a Chicago woman who has been missing for more than a week is over.
Police in Calumet City, Ill., say the body of Nailah Franklin was discovered Thursday by a forest preserve near the spot where Franklin's car was found abandoned.
Franklin, a 28-year-old pharmaceutical sales representative, was reported missing Sept. 19. Her car was discovered in Hammond, Ind., near an abandoned building.
Nailah Franklin's uncle, Dwayne Johnson, said authorities told the family they found his niece.
According to The Associated Press, shortly before she disappeared, Franklin filed a police report about getting threatening phone calls from a man she had dated briefly. She also sent an unusual text message to her family.
Family members and volunteers have papered the area with fliers and taken out a newspaper ad seeking the public's help, offering a $10,000 reward for information.
No suspects have been arrested in the case, which is surprising, considering all of the evidence, phone calls, the police report and the car.

I feel they should have at least brought the ex in for questioning. They mentioned she filed a compliant against him. The ex is usually always the first suspect.
