Thirty-year-old MeLisa Cleary was last seen Friday night at
her home. Her vehicle was found by family members over the weekend
less than two miles from her home. A
body was discovered Monday in a rural area near Hartsburg, along
Canadian National railroad tracks.
Logan County Coroner Robert Thomas says an official
identification of the body, which showed obvious signs of trauma, is
expected Tuesday.
Tazewell County sheriff's police say Daniel Cleary and the three
Cleary children were found in a Peoria motel early Tuesday, hours
after an Amber Alert was issued for the children. Authorities didn't
say why Cleary was taken in for questioning. The children placed in
protective custody.
