This investigation is on-going and additional charges may be lodged at a later date.
Damn damn what a shame. I’m sure they were almost close to finishing there. Brain surgeon, medical degrees and instead now they’re gonna be proctologist at Cook county
I remember Oak Lawn being a nice Community when my family lived in and around there. My Aunt and Uncle use to own the Dog N Suds on 95th and they owned Hickory Hills Lounge up the hill from the Saber Room. My cousins husband was a Poliice Chief of Hickory Hills. It was a quiet little Community.. I have not been back there in that area for at least 50 years. The closest I had been is Ressurectiion Cemetary.
Dreamers.
