Are three cop killers on the loose in Lake County?
Nearly a month has passed since the gunshot death of a northern Illinois police lieutenant shocked Americans coast to coast. Vivid accounts of the massive manhunt for three ostensible killers drove news accounts for days. The funeral of Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz — "G.I. Joe" to many friends — attracted fellow officers from across the U.S. The wails of bagpipes, a trumpeting of taps and seven helicopters flying in a "V" formation bid him a final tribute.
Unresolved then, as now, was the explanation of what led to the lieutenant's death. The fruitless quest for three perpetrators has given way not only to countless rumors but to vague official suggestions that authorities haven't ruled out homicide, suicide or accident.

I believe that what we’re looking at is just slow, plodding police work that will never make the news because the keyboard Kommandos want answers in time for their deadline. Don’t know if you’re familiar with this but, in Palatine, Illinois, there was an armed robbery at a Brown’s Chicken outlet where seven people were murdered. The media was bitching about incompetent cops, causing several to lose their jobs. It took ten years to solve that case and that only because someone had saved evidence until DNA technology had advanced far enough to use it.
I remember that awful murder and that it was eventually solved but don't remember any details of it, fortunately.
Those events in Palatine really took a toll on that community.
I hope that this is resolved quickly. I’m troubled that they haven’t been able to eliminate some of the causes of this officer’s death.
I read on the Daily Maul last week that the coroner doesn’t rule out suicide as the cause of death.
The chicken restaurant murders sounds familiar.

"The subject said he was a 'retired police officer' and threatened to harm all of the Task Force members, as well as all of the other investigators involved in the death investigation of Fox Lake Police Lieutenant [Charles Joseph] Gliniewicz," the Sheriff's Office said in a news release today. "These threats included Coroner Rudd and Coroner’s Office employees, unless all the involved personnel declare Gliniewicz’ death a suicide."
