CHICAGO. — A man was charged Friday in a missing Forest Park woman’s strangulation death.

Richard Chavez, 24, of Oak Park, is facing a first-degree murder charge for allegedly strangling Charisma Ehresman, 20, of Forest View, to death.

Ehresman was last seen leaving her home on the 4600 block of South Wisconsin around 10:15 a.m. on Jan. 23.

Chavez was arrested while already in Cook County Jail on unrelated charges.
