Investigators spent most of the day processing the scene.

Elk Grove Village police called the death suspicious but assured the public it was an isolated incident.

"I just freaked and I couldn't believe it," said Eva Wypych, who was staying at a nearby hotel. "I saw body covered with the blanket."

Wypych is staying at the hotel off Landmeier and Higgins Road and says she saw the body and investigators on the scene as soon as she stepped out for her early morning walk.

The Major Case Assistance Team responded alongside police. Investigators were seen going through dumpsters near the hotel, collecting multiple bags of evidence.

Wypych said hotel guests have heard reports of what may have played out, but so far investigators have not released details on the woman's death.

"This, it just breaks my heart. People should love one another, care for one another," Wypych said. "Nobody deserved that. We all created by God, and only God could take you."

The woman found dead has not yet been identified by authorities.

Police have not said if she was staying at the hotel, but did say so far no one is in custody.
