A human skull found in a Springfield creek bed has been identified as belonging to a man missing since 2021.
The skull was discovered in September in the 6200 block of Winterberry Lane – near I-55 and Toronto Road.
The Sangamon County Coroner says DNA analysis was used to identify the remains. That testing determined the skull was that of Kenneth Brown of Springfield. The 42-year-old was last seen with friends at a local hotel when he disappeared.
The investigation is ongoing and no other information is being released.
