Body Found In Springbrook Prairie Believed To Be Missing Naperville Mom

NAPERVILLE, IL — More than a week after a large-scale search of Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve for Naperville woman Olasinmibo "Sinmi" Abosede, police confirmed that a body found there is believed to be that of the missing mother of four.

Naperville officers were called to a trailhead in Springbrook Prairie preserve just before 2 p.m. Thursday after a body was discovered in the prairie.

Officers were led through a dense area of high grass to the body, which was wearing clothing that matched what Abosede, 46, was last seen wearing, according to police.

"At this time, we continue to believe that no foul play is suspected," police said in a joint statement with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County.

"While we believe the individual to be Sinmi, the final confirmation will be made by the DuPage County Coroner’s Office," said Naperville Police Chief Jason Arres. "We are deeply saddened by this loss and extend our sincere condolences to the Abosede family during this difficult time. Thank you to everyone in our community who assisted with this investigation and for your care and concern. We ask that everyone keep the family in your thoughts and respect their privacy during this difficult time."

"Our hearts go out to Sinmi’s family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time," said Forest Preserve District Police Chief David Pederson. "We will continue to work closely with the Naperville Police Department and the DuPage County Coroner’s Office to ensure this investigation is thorough and respectful."

Abosede was last seen on Sudbury Street in Naperville on July 30.

Springbrook Prairie remains open to the public, officials said, and there is no ongoing threat to public safety.
