In Chicago the Cook County medical examiner said a woman's skeleton found in a forest preserve likely does not belong to missing candy heiress Helen Vorhees Brach. Dr. Robert Stein noted the clothing near the body does not match what she wore when she vanished from her Glenview estate in February 1977.

Pleasant Weather Across Nation Noted By United Press International
Gray skies and pleasant temperatures spread nationwide while scattered thundershowers drenched east Texas Gulf Coast area. Rain stretched from the Ohio Valley through Tennessee and northern Alabama into Wisconsin and Minnesota with Erie Pennsylvania receiving about an inch Tuesday night. Brownsville Texas Youngstown and Akron Ohio saw just over a half inch. Deputy Chief Steven Halls said there was no substantiation of a connection to the case. It is believed Mrs Brach inherited over $20 million when her husband died in 1970. A lone family retainer said she left on a Florida trip in 1977 and has not been seen since. A skeleton found near Chicago, with a full denture set, matches Mrs Brach according to Stein, who noted the body could have lain since March 1978. Dental experts and an anthropologist will determine its age and bone structure. The skeleton appeared intact with no obvious injuries. Police suspect a sexual assault prior to death due to clothing evidence.
