Authorities are still searching for the Naperville woman who was reported missing on Wednesday, July 30.
On Monday, the Naperville Police Department conducted a large-scale search of the Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve for 46-year-old Olasinmibo “Sinmi” Abosede.
Despite the day’s efforts, she remains missing, but police chief Jason Arres says the search will continue.
“I understand that the uncertainty surrounding Sinmi’s disappearance is concerning, and I assure you that this department is doing everything we can to find Sinmi,” said Arres in a press release. “We will continue to follow up on any leads and lean on the expertise of our partners at NEMA and surrounding law enforcement agencies.”
The search involved the Naperville Emergency Management Agency, other law enforcement agencies, and more than 40 trained volunteers. Authorities employed the use of K-9s as well as drones to survey the area in search of Abosede.
