Northern Illinois University students are on edge as they learn that one of their missing classmates may have been burned to death in a nearby wooded area. Antinette “Toni” Keller has been missing since October 14 and her remains “may” have been found two days later. Investigators confirm they found charred human remains in DeKalb Park on October 16, as well as items consistent with property possibly belonging to Toni. The problem is that because of the damage to the body, it is difficult to say for certain that it is her. Investigators say the reason for the delay in announcing that they found remains was because of the fact that it took them more than a week to even determine if it was a human body. Despite the official body confirmation, authorities have shifted Toni’s case from a death investigation to a homicide investigation. Although all signs point to the body being Toni, it may take a little time to say for certain that it is in fact her.
A Northern Illinois University student who has been missing since October 14 may have been found over the weekend. Investigators confirm they found human remains in DeKalb Park, as well as items consistent with property possibly belonging to Antinette “Toni” Keller.
Toni was last seen 11 days ago when she told friends she was going to an area near the woods where she often gets inspired to do her artwork. Her friends said it is a place she visited regularly. Authorities have re-classified this case from a missing person to a death investigation and an autopsy is being performed at this time.
If anyone has any information to help investigators, please contact DeKalb Police: 815-748-8407
At the time Toni went missing she was wearing a grey or green jacket/sweater, jeans and carrying a professional camera.
Investigators are back on the ground this morning searching for a 12-year-old who went missing over the weekend. Amber White never returned home after swimming in her community pool. Sgt. Bill Goodin from the Shreveport Louisiana Police Department told me she was last seen around 3 p.m. near her home in the 6900 block of Buncombe Road. Amber’s mom and dad called 9-1-1 when they couldn’t find their daughter. Although Amber is only 12, and she may have left with two men, Sgt. Goodin says, “We do not believe there was an abduction.” He told me they have to take every missing person on a case by case basis in order to determine if an amber alert can be issued. I spoke with Mistie Williamson, a neighbor of Amber’s, and she said, “All of the parents are scared, because it happened so close.” Mistie also told me that Amber’s home is near the front of the mobile home park and she is very close to the pool area.
