The search for Elise Malary has sadly come to an unfortunate end with the discovery of a woman’s body near the 500 block of Sheridan Square in Evanston. The body was located near the water earlier this week, and it didn’t take very long at all to make a positive identification of the missing Chicago trans rights activist. There are still questions to ask in this case, however, but authorities aren’t saying much.
What happened to Elise Malary when she disappeared on March 11th? The search for the Chicago-area woman has been the center of media coverage, and plenty of social media speculation. With Elise being a trans activist, some people have openly speculated that she could have met some kind of foul play due to the political climate. However, no evidence of foul play has been found over the course of the search for her — but that doesn’t make the discovery of her body any less tragic and frightening.
How did this missing woman die? Was she the victim of some kind of foul play — or was her disappearance stemming from something different altogether? ABC News Chicago reports that the body was recovered on Thursday.
