Coincidentally, a Schaumburg woman named Patricia McNamara, 45, was the subject of a death investigation after she was missing and found dead in Busse Woods near Elk Grove Village on Tuesday June 17, 2008. The body was discovered after a mosquito abatement worker found her passport in the forest preserve. The discovery prompted a thorough search of the area, and the body was found. There were no obvious signs of trauma or foul play in that case.
