After many days of frenetic search, she was found wrapped in a blanket in the trunk of her own car on Monday in Chicago's West Garfield Park neighbourhood by private investigators hired by the family.

No arrests have been made in the case so far as the autopsy report was still awaited.

Sureel Dabawala was the daughter of Schaumburg based Asharaf Dabawala, a respected physician in the area, hailing from Gujarat.

Indians living in the area describe the Dabawalas as the most loving and generous people.

In the days following Sureel's disappearance, the Dabawala family had announced a $10,000 reward for anyone who could provide any information about the young woman.
