Antinette 'Toni' Keller Missing: Northern Illinois University Student's Body Found in Park

She was last seen around noon on October 14. Toni Keller, an art student at Northern Illinois, said she was going to Prairie Park in Dekalb to work on a school project. She was seen heading into the woods that day with her portfolio satchel and her camera...

Toni went to a DeKalb park to work on a school project. She never came back.

​Toni, a freshman at the school on the plains west of Chicago, was supposed to go home that weekend for a visit. But she never called to arrange a ride. And now it looks like she never will. (See her Facebook tribute page here.)
On Saturday, a body was discovered in the woods near the park. It hasn't been officially identified as Toni's, but police say the crime scene contained items that were likely hers and have changed their case to a death investigation. Meanwhile, relatives are already conceding that the body is likely Toni's.
Police are playing the case very close to the vest, so there's no word on what evidence or suspects they may have at this point. But we'll keep you posted.
