It’ll be interesting to see what develops.
I was surprised that the aspirin overdose information was put out there this quickly.

Wow! I’m totally shocked! I guess they’re sending a message to the rest of the crooks involved in this thing: Monk, etc.
t struck me too; also noticed your point about slight changes in the story.
I’m sure the others have puckered sphincters today.
WOWsers - another update:

At Oak Forest, he was treated and stabilized and doctors determined he needed additional treatment at Stroger, so he was transferred there by private ambulance, Bright said. Kelly arrived at Stroger at 5:15 a.m.

Illinois State Police crime scene investigators called in by Country Club Hills continued to look for evidence in the empty lumber yard parking lot tonight. The remote spot, opposite insect-filled corn fields near Interstates 57 and 80, was taped off as officers used flashlights to search on hands and knees.

They added the word “stabilized”. Interesting.
Thanks. Didn’t know that.
Looking for evidence of suspects? Or did I read it wrong? I wonder if he was concious? How else would they know about the aspirin? Thsy haven’t done an autopsy, or even more important a tox. screen.
