New billboards in the Northwest Suburbs aim to drum up leads in death of a young Sleepy Hollow woman in 2009.

Anna Mary Schneider was just 19 years old when she died at her home on the 4th of July while hanging out with a friend by the family's backyard pool.

Her death was originally ruled an undetermined drowning, but in 2020 her remains were exhumed, and a new investigation led to the cause of death being changed to homicide by chloroform.

This week, several billboards paid for by Schneider's mother, went up in Algonquin and Cary offering a $30,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in the case, and directing people to call the Sleepy Hollow Police Department.

More billboards will go up later this month and in January.
