The detective discovered the body of a white female near a pond. Sangamon County Coroner, Jim Allmon responded to the scene shortly before 5 pm Tuesday night.
According to a press release from the Sangamon County Coroner’s Office, the
deceased has been scientifically identified as 39-year-old Randa Davidson of Greene County, IL.
Davidson was reported missing by her family. She was last seen near the intersection of Wabash Avenue and West White Oaks Road in Springfield, traveling on foot by herself on Tuesday evening of last week around 11 pm.
Initial reports say there was no apparent trauma to Davidson’s body when discovered, however, exposure to the elements hampered the ability to determine.
