Body found in Illinois in search for missing St. Louis mother

In the search for a missing mother of four from St. Louis, Marquisha Williams, a body has been discovered in the Chicago area. The twenty-nine-year-old went missing a week before Christmas.

According to police sources cited by Fox 2 in St. Louis, a body was found during the search. Trenton Ivy, identified as her ex-boyfriend, has been charged with murder in connection with the ongoing investigation.

Ivy was apprehended last Friday on unrelated charges. Following his arrest, he allegedly confessed to Racine, Wisconsin police that he murdered Williams in St. Louis, acknowledging a physical altercation and the disposal of her body at an undisclosed location.

Court documents released on Wednesday disclosed that investigators found blood evidence in Williams’ vehicle on December 22, along with some of her personal belongings, WGN 9-TV reported.

Law enforcement conducted multiple searches for Williams, including in the St. Louis area, in the past few days. Illinois State Police and other agencies are collaborating in the ongoing investigation.

Trenton Ivy is presently held without bond in Wisconsin until arrangements can be made for his transfer back to St. Louis.
