Veeery nice place to have an 'accident'. The middle of freaking NOWHERE! Its no wonder there were no witnesses. I looked this location up in Google Maps and its alllll farmland & woods. But the article is slightly wrong, the location is in Newark, IL 60541, not unincorporated Plano. But it IS 'near' the Plano School Dist 88.

But the *odd* things about this are:

He was going eastbound on Rogers Rd - away from his house in Sandwich, IL.
Going East on Rogers @ Oakbrook Rd is approaching a Main Cross Intersection, Whitfield Rd.
He should have been slowing down or getting ready to, depending how close he was to Oakbrook Rd. As Whitfield is the 'main road' and he'd have to stop. Rogers Rd dead ends shortly after Whitfield Rd.
If he was going the speed limit, hitting a Tree Head on should NOT have killed him, especially in a BMW. Seat belt or not.

Another 'funny thing' is in the 'good old days' The Chicago Outfit would (cough) 'get rid of' people in this type of area. One couple who crossed the Mob were chased down in their car and shotgunned to death right in this area, again, no witnesses. And the Spilotro bros (Tony & Michael) were found in a Farm Field straight east of here in Indiana, as replayed in the movie Casino₍₁₎.

Now I'm not saying this was a Hit but this thing smells of dead fish.

(1) Except in real life they were killed in a Chi suburb (Elmhurst) house basement. And the Mobsters who botched the burial were also whacked. (sigh.... I love the old Mob, they had scruples)
