Victim - Rachelle Ramira

Rachelle Ramira of Oak Park, Illinois was a 27 year-old woman who worked at a phone company in downtown Chicago.  She was fun-loving, generous and very, very wealthy.  Rachelle is famous for winning the second largest lump sum lottery prize in the history of the Illinois lottery (see news article).  Seven years after winning the $331 million jackpot, Rachelle appears to have chartered the S.S. Badger Car Ferry for her friends and family.  Although the ship normally sails from Manitowoc, WI to Ludington, MI, it appears that Ramira paid for a charter tour that originated in Chicago, leaving at 4:00 pm on Friday, January 3rd, two days before her body was found.
