A man who was deemed a person of interest in the suspicious death investigation of a 43-year-old Geneva woman last week has been released from police custody.
The Geneva Police Department, with concurrence from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office, released the man from Kane County Jail on Friday evening.
No charges have been filed in the case, which remains under investigation by Geneva Police, the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force, and the Kane County Coroner’s Office.
On Friday, the Kane County Coroner’s Office identified the woman found dead from a gunshot wound as Jodi Grzeda-Anderson.
Kane County Coroner Rob Russell said Grzeda-Anderson’s body was found in the back yard of her home.
A female relative living in the Chicago area called police at 8:02 p.m. on Wednesday to report the woman as possibly missing. Geneva and St. Charles police responded to conduct a well-being check at a home in the 700 block of McKinley Avenue.
Upon arrival, officers met with a male family member who was unable to answer officer questions or provide any substantiated information on the missing woman. Officers subsequently checked the home’s property and found the woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The male family member was taken into custody as a person of interest. The Kane County Major Crimes Unit was called to the home to assist with the investigation. Geneva Police do not believe there is a general threat to the public.
Geneva Police request anyone with information about the incident to call the department’s Investigations Division at 630-232-4736.
