A Kane County coroner's inquest revealed Wednesday that a 42-year-old woman likely was stomped to death in her bedroom on Christmas Eve.

Maria Guadalupe Gomez Cid had come to Aurora from Mexico about six months before. She was found dead by her son in the basement bedroom of her home in the 900 block of Fulton Street at 6:59 a.m. Dec. 24, 2006.

When coroner's deputies arrived, they determined that she had trauma to her neck, chest and face, according to testimony at the inquest.

Deputy Coroner Lisa Gilbert said Gomez Cid had been stomped to death. The coroner's jury ruled her death a homicide.

Gomez Cid was last seen by family members around midnight drinking with her boyfriend, Joel Enriquez, 33, early on the morning of Christmas Eve. Enriquez has not been seen by family, friends or police since Gomez Cid was found dead.

The investigation is considered open, and anyone with information is urged to call Aurora police at (630) 801-6662 or Aurora Area CrimeStoppers at (630) 892-1000.

Gomez Cid, a stacker in a warehouse, came to Aurora with her four children and Enriquez in June, her sister said Wednesday.
