Sad news comes from across the Illinois-Indiana border.

Fox News is reporting that Nailah Franklin's body has been found in Calumet City. CBS News reports that police haven't confirmed the body's identity, however.

A huge search for Nailah Franklin has been underway since she was reported missing after she didn't show up for a meeting with her employer Eli Lilly.

Reports Fox News:

The family of a missing Chicago woman said a body found early Thursday is that of their loved one.

Nailah Franklin, 28, a pharmaceutical sales representative for Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly, was last heard from a week ago.

Dwayne Johnson, Franklin's uncle, said authorities confirmed it was his niece's body.

Suburban Chicago officials found a body in a forest preserve near where Franklin's car was found abandoned last Friday, police said.

WLS-AM reports that police plan to hold a news conference at 4 p.m. today.

My prayers go out to Nailah Franklin's family.
