The skeletal remains of a 40-year-old woman have been discovered in her west suburban home, two months after what authorities called a purposely set fire killed her and her 6-year-old son.
On Monday night, a landlord was working on a rental home in the 1800 block of 57th Street in Cicero and came across what turned out to be the skeletal remains of a foot belonging to the late Raquel Perez, according to Cicero police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Perez and her young son, Cesar Yamato, died in the October blaze allegedly set by the woman dating her older son.

Sonia Labron, 25, is awaiting trial on aggravated arson and felony murder charges.

Labron says she and her boyfriend -- Perez's son, who also lived in the residence -- set the blaze to scare Perez into moving out of Cicero and returning to Mexico.

Perez's son has not been charged and has been missing since the fire, authorities said Tuesday.
