Missing Stevenson Grad's Body Found in Wisconsin

A body found in rural Wisconsin earlier this month has been identified as that of Kelly Dwyer, a 27-year-old Milwaukee woman who grew up in Long Grove and graduated from Stevenson High School.

A forensic dentist confirmed on Thursday the skeletal remains found in rural Jefferson County last week belonged to Dwyer, who was reported missing in October 2013 - ABC7Chicago reports.

The remains were found about 20 feet from the road along a tree line.

It’s still unclear how she died, authorities have said.

“The cause of death has not been determined and is pending with further investigation,” said Deputy Chief Jeffrey Parker, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Dwyer was last seen 19 months ago on the east side of Milwaukee while visiting her boyfriend, 38-year-old Kris Zocco, police say. Zocco, who is now serving time for unrelated crimes, told investigators Dwyer left his apartment while he was sleeping.
