Prince Cunningham, of Yorkville, has been charged with murdering an Aurora woman 19 years ago.
Tyesha Bell disappeared without a trace in 2003. It wasn’t until more than 17 years later, in 2020, that her remains were discovered in Montgomery.
According to the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office, a surveyor found Bell’s skull in a field that was being developed.
DNA testing was conducted, and the skull was a match to Bell.
Officials said she had been shot to death.
On Wednesday, a Kane County judge set bail at $5 million for Cunningham.
Cunningham, 49, told a judge on Wednesday that he is married, has five adult children and was fired from his job this week at a pest-control company.
Bell and Cunningham had a daughter together, who would now be about 20 years old.
