(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A man from northwest Indiana was arrested Wednesday and charged with killing a 27-year-old woman who was last seen with him at a concert in the south suburbs.
James McGhee, 38, faces a murder charge in Lake County, Indiana in the death of Sidne-Nichole Buchanan, according to the FBI.
Buchanan, of Gary, was last seen July 27 at a concert in south suburban Tinley Park with McGhee, the FBI said. Her family reported her missing two days later.
The Cook County medical examiner's office confirmed Wednesday afternoon that the body was Buchanan's. Her cause of death has not been determined pending further testing.
Shortly after Buchanan went missing, the FBI said it believed she traveled against her will back to Indiana after the concert.
"Our investigation has revealed that Sidne was last seen in Illinois but we have evidence that she was in Indiana after that. The presumption is she was taken across state lines against her will until we find evidence to the contrary," FBI Supervisory Special Agent Mike Peasley said at the time.
The Lake County sheriff's office could not immediately be reached for additional details on the charges. The FBI referred questions to Lake County officials.
