Good morning, Elgin.

Morbid Mementos opened March 1 at 225 E.

Chicago St. in downtown Elgin and sells taxidermy, bone art, jewelry, perfume oils, candles and books. The shop opens at noon Wednesday through Sunday and offers handcrafted pieces (owner Kelli Naughton, a former Elgin resident, said her store fulfills her dream of working on her art every day).

Elgin police and a dive team searched the Fox River yesterday for clues in the cold case of Karen Schepers—a 23-year-old who vanished from Bentley’s on April 16th, 1983—and officials said the search will continue today with additional checks to narrow down one of six theories.

The 2024-25 Kane County Chronicle All-Area Girls Wrestling team was announced, led by Player of the Year Angelina Gochis who posted a historic 36-0 season and won her second state title — a key achievement for Kaneland.

The roster includes top wrestlers from Batavia, Burlington Central and St. Charles East who earned state or sectional honors.
