Skeletal remains discovered in Rochester last month have been positively identified as those of a Decatur woman.
The Sangamon County Coroner, Cinda Edwards, says DNA testing confirmed the identity as 43 year old Tracy Trimby. Relatives were notified a couple of weeks ago, but the name had been withheld from the public until now.
The remains were found when someone was cleaning out the shed on July 19.
Police say Trimby's name was not on any lists of missing people. Authorities believe her death was a homicide because items in the shed were stacked on her.
Edwards says the body was there for a long time, but she's said she's not sure how long, nor is she sure how she died.
An investigation is ongoing.
