Divers recovered a body from a Vernon Hills pond that they believe to be that of a missing 17-year-old Carpentersville girl.
The body was recovered in the same pond where divers Monday discovered a car belonging to Brissa Romero, whose family reported her missing last week. Authorities could not immediately confirm if it was Romero who was pulled from the pond, noting formal identification will be made by the Lake County coroner’s office. However, authorities said the recovered remains matched Romero’s description and no further leads regarding Romero’s whereabouts are being followed at this time.
