According to what i heard, they started investigating upon his death.
**Fox Lake Police Lt. Charles Joseph “Joe” Gliniewicz was stealing and laundering money from the Fox Lake Police Explorer’s program and committed suicide due to the “personal stress from scrutiny of his management,” Lake County Major Crimes Task Force Commander George Filenko said.**
The evidence is damning:
**100 investigators stayed on the case for weeks, reviewing more than 6,500 deleted text messages from Gliniewicz, 30,000 telephone numbers, 40,000 emails and thousands of pages of financial records. Additionally, 250 pieces of evidence were submitted to local and federal crime labs.**
Forty thousand e-mails? That’s a lot of e-mails. For anyone.
Unfortunately I was wrong when I gave him the benefit of doubt. The media will love this story to portray all police officers a “bad people”.
I saw that last night!!
Faux was on at the fast food joint we were at. I watched the scroll, and shook my head.
