No Foul Play Suspected In Missing Orland Woman's Death: Police

ORLAND PARK, IL — The body of a missing Orland Park woman was found early Sunday, authorities said.

The body of Reanna Hammad, 21, was discovered on a walking trail in a forest preserve, Cook County Forest Preserve Director of Communications Carl Vogel confirmed.

No foul play is suspected in her death, Vogel said late Sunday afternoon.

“At approximately 5:50 a.m., Reanna Hammad's body was found by a search party in Spears Woods, Vogel said. “Forest Preserves of Cook County Police are leading the death investigation. The cause of death will be determined by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.”

The Prayer Center of Orland Park also shared news that the woman’s body had been found. Mosque leaders had organized a group of 40 volunteers to search for Hammad on foot, Patch has learned.

“First, may God have mercy on the girl and grant her a place in His spacious gardens, and grant her family patience and solace,” the Center posted on social media. “This is one of the most difficult situations any family can experience, and mere speculation about the cause of death is a torment in itself, in addition to the loss. We ask God to grant them steadfastness, patience, and certainty. Amen.

“Second, there's no need to spread false and inaccurate information on social media. We await the circumstances of the incident and the results of the investigation.

“Third, this is a message to every girl or even young man: Yes, it's true, in general, our areas are safe, but we cannot neglect caution and security measures!

"Do not go anywhere without the knowledge of your family. Always keep the GPS feature on your phone activated with a family member. Never, ever go places alone, whether girls or boys, always be with a friend or more.”

Hammad had last been seen by her mother at her home in unincorporated Palos Township around 11 a.m. Friday, according to a news release from the Cook County Sheriff's Office. Police believe Hammad may have been in the vicinity of Spears Woods — near West 87th Street and South LaGrange Road — later on Friday.
