19 year old Herrin mother found slain
The nude body of Regina Oliver Costellia, 19, was found hung by an arm from Marion Illinois South Market Street bridge early Sunday by two fishermen on Lake of Egypt. She appears strangled with a recent neck wound, and an autopsy will determine exact cause. Her husband Terry Costellia, son Anthony, and parents William and Grace Oliver survive. Detectives and Williamson County deputies search for the killer, interviewing witnesses and canvassing the area around the bridge and nearby party locations. The body was discovered about 7:30 a.m. with clothing missing and the scene described as sparsely populated near Crab Orchard Creek. Burial is planned at Coal Bank Cemetery after services in Herrin.
