Human remains found inside a box in an Illinois storage unit have been identified as a former police chief, authorities said.

A statement from Knox County Sheriff's Office confirmed the body discovered on October 7, 2022, in a storage facility in Maquon belonged to Richard R. Young. The 71-year-old was identified after DNA samples were matched with samples taken from family members.

Young was a former village police chief in Maquon, a town about 150 miles southwest of Chicago.

Police said the victim's family has been notified and the investigation into his death remains active.

The body was discovered after complaints of a strong odor coming from a unit at Roberts Self Storage, the Associated Press reported.

Marcy Oglesby, 50, faces charges related to the case and is in custody at the Knox County Jail.
