"At 7:52 (a.m., Gliniewicz) gets there, he sees the three subjects. At 7:55, he calls for additional police. At 8:01 the officers arrived. At 8:09, they discovered him," said Lake County Major Crime Task Force commander George Filenko.
Gliniewicz was found about 50 yards from his squad car in a wooded and swampy area, Filenko told reporters outside the Fox Lake Police Department, where blue and black bunting had been hung. Filenko said Gliniewicz was not dispatched to the area but "self-responded."
The report of two white males and one black male was provided by Gliniewicz to dispatchers when he spotted and responded to suspicous activity, Filenko said.
Filenko reported no major developments in the manhunt, but he did say that police "are following up leads. We have a lot of social media leads."
While the 400-officer grid search with six aircraft and nearly 50 canine units was suspended at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, 100 investigators are now focused on community saturation patrols, Filenko said.
"We're moving out into the subdivisions today," said Filenko, who would not comment when asked whether police had found any witnesses.
"Additionally, (the patrols are) to advise the residents of Fox Lake that law enforcement is here to support them," Lake County sheriff's Detective Christopher Covelli added. "We're here to keep the community safe, and we're here to stay. We're going to go hand in hand with the residents of Fox Lake to ensure their security during this time.
"When an incident like this happens, it victimizes not just the police department but the whole community, too. We are here for them."
Officers on Wednesday also were studying video taken from the area, but "we don't have anything we found on that video just yet," Filenko said.

They are never going to catch those guys — unless one of them starts shooting off his mouth.
I wouldn’t take bets on that if I were you .. remember the two guys who escaped from the prison ..?? Well, people said the same thing about them .. and they killed one and re-arrested the other.
Never underestimate the instincts of a good police officer.
Has anyone heard if the officer was murdered with his own weapon?
Yes. Also, I wonder what they were doing that caught the officer’s attention in the first place? So far, no reports reveal that, so perhaps they’re tracking the thugs through some connection with the “suspicious activity,” whatever it was.
Later.
remember the two guys who escaped from the prison
The whole world remembers them. We had photographs of them.
All we have here is “2 white men, 1 black man”
Not enough.
If they’re anything under age 30, one of them will shoot his mouth off. Just remember how hard it was for you in those early years of your life not to shoot you mouth off about something like that.
I cannot believe in this day of cell phone cameras and surveillance cameras nobody saw anything. Someone had to know these individuals and hopefully will come forward with their identity. God be with the officers searching for these animals.
Well, I never did anything like that — or even close.
But crew I ran with was remarkably tight with operational security.
If the cop walked 50 yards from his vehicle, I'm thinking he was 'set up'. A 50 yard walk away from your vehicle with 3 suspicious dudes lurking about in a remote wooded/marshy area is NOT a wise maneuver before backup arrives.
I should also mention the possibility this could be a terrorist ambush of the Islamo kind. Perhaps the two ‘whites’ are really Muzzies?
If a ‘citizen’ made a call to police about these three guys they REALLY need to track that person down because they could be involved in the setup. Just speculation.
Yes, the time frame is very tight. I was surprised when I read it.
I still would never underestimate the talents of the police officer.
I thought they said it was a robbery (from a home) .. and when the cop showed up, they took off running.
Maybe he should have given chase alone ..??
Can’t they use cell tower info to see who was in the area to interview?
If that happened, believe me when I tell you the police wouldn't be that stupid. They would respond in force.
God be with the officers searching for these animals.

Amen!
Pinging you to this because of your interest on an earlier thread. But I don’t know that there is anything new here....
