The body of Vanessa Ceja-Ramirez, 22, of Harvey, turned up in the Midlothian Meadows preserve on Wednesday. She had vanished on Monday while walking with her mother on a trail in the preserve.

As CBS 2’s Jermont Terry reported Friday night, joggers have been extra vigilant ever since the discovery.

The trails in the Midlothian Meadows Forest Preserve are popular for dog walkers and joggers. And on this warm November week, there have been even more people out.

“Again, we frequent here a lot, and you see, I have small ones,” said Barbara Cooper, who was talking about her dogs.

Cooper’s biggest worry is usually about wildlife targeting her small dogs. But unfortunately, her safety and that of others in the Cook County Forest Preserve takes priority these days.

“It’s makes me feel a little bit uneased, I would say,” Cooper said.

Days after investigators found Ceja-Ramirez’s strangled body in the woods, there were few leads in the case. The Cook County Sheriff’s office cannot say whether she was targeted by someone she knew or if a stranger targeted her and ultimately killed her.

But what’s just as concerning for Cooper is that she was in the forest preserves herself on Monday around the same time that Ceja-Ramirez disappeared.

And Cooper said there has still been no awareness raised by the Sheriff’s office.

“I was not alerted,” she said. “No one brought that to that attention to me, that, ‘Hey, be a little bit more careful – something happened.’”

As more people head to the trails this weekend, investigators are asking everyone to stay alert – because right now, the person who killed Ceja-Ramirez is still out there.

There is concern especially for her family – including her mother, who was at the forest preserve when she vanished.

“I do hope that she finds someone closure and do find out who did this,” Cooper said.

Investigators insist the murder is isolated, and stress they are working the case. But they are asking anyone who was out in the forest preserve Monday to report anything that may now seem odd.

Featherweight contender Eduardo Ramirez expects a classic Mexico vs. Mexico war when he takes on former champion Julio Ceja in a WBC Featherweight Title Eliminator that kicks off FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View action Saturday, December 5 in an event headlined by Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

'This is a Civil War between two real Mexican fighters,' said Ramirez. 'When two real Mexican fighters collide, there is more than just a victory on the line. It's also a matter of pride. That's why I'm training harder than ever before to put on a great performance.'

Ramirez most recently knocked out then unbeaten Leduan Barthelemy last November and has continued his increased emphasis on punch power in this training camp with his head coaches Manuel and Pedro Montiel in Tucson, Arizona.

'I've been working on my punching power before all of my recent fights and I've really discovered how to take advantage of that extra power in the fight,' said Ramirez. 'Everything in training camp has been going smoothly and I feel myself getting better with each camp. I have great facilities to work at in Tucson and I can't wait to show everyone the best Eduardo Ramirez on December 5.'

In Ceja, Ramirez will be up against another strong opponent who has been through numerous tough fights, similar to Ramirez. A former world champion at 118 pounds who also faced Brandon Figueroa and Guillermo Rigondeaux at super bantamweight, Ceja makes his featherweight debut on December 5. Ramirez expects Ceja to continue to show his come forward style in this new weight class.

'Ceja is an excellent fighter who loves to fight aggressively just like I do,' said Ramirez. 'He has a lot of power, so this is definitely going to be a war while it lasts. The fans are going to love this fight. We've trained hard to make sure we steal the show.'

Ceja Vs Ramirez Prediction

With a win in the featherweight title eliminator, Ramirez has his eyes set squarely on ending the long run of WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr.

'After this fight, I want to fight for the WBC Championship,' said Ramirez. 'Russell has frozen the title and never faced a challenge as difficult as the one I present. I don't even think of him as the real champion. My plan is to get rid of him after I beat Julio Ceja.'
