Aurora Woman Missing Under Suspicious Circumstances
POSTED: October 31, 2005
CHICAGO -- Aurora Police were searching for a missing 47-year-old Aurora woman who apparently disappeared under suspicious circumstances Monday morning.
A vehicle owned by the missing woman, Marilyn Bethell of the 2500 Block of Quail Court in Aurora, was involved in a two vehicle accident at about 7:05 a.m. on the city's far east side.
A subsequent investigation has yet to lead to Bethell's whereabouts and police have recovered evidence from the vehicle and the woman's home that may indicate that foul play is involved.
Upon arrival to the accident scene, which was in the DuPage County section of Aurora, officers found Bethell's 2003 black Honda Accord with heavy front end damage and pushed into the rear of a parked, 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche.
Police learned that the Honda was apparently being driven by a black male southbound on White Barn Road at a high rate of speed, and was being followed by a red or maroon car, possibly a Dodge Intrepid, that was occupied by at least one male of unknown race.
When the driver of the Honda attempted to turn westbound onto Stoney Brook Lane, the vehicle apparently "fish tailed" and the driver lost control, swerved, and struck the Avalanche, a police news release stated.
According to the news release, the driver of the Honda jumped out and was struck by the car that appeared to be chasing him, but then got up out of the roadway and jumped into the red/maroon vehicle. That car then continued westbound from the area at a high rate of speed.
Witnesses said that the men in both vehicles apparently had handguns in their possession.
Bethell is described as a white female, 5 feet 3 inches tall, 150 pounds, with red hair and brown eyes.
