Yes....and I hear they now have someone in custody for it. I wish it was on

a slab instead of in a holding cell.

Illinois Cop Gunned Down on Highway

No Motive for Night Shooting, Police Say

June 2, 2000

By Seamus McGraw

HAMPSHIRE, Ill. (APBnews.com) -- A 50-year-old police officer married just

three weeks ago was gunned down alongside a busy highway, and authorities

are

searching for the driver of a sport utility vehicle seen fleeing from the

scene. >>

[Guest guest]

I too feel for the officers and his family. It's a shame that officers and

their friends and families have to go through this. My prayers go out them

all.

From the news reports last night...They have a suspect

in custody. He is supposedly a life long friend of the

officer. No motive or anything further yet from what

I've seen on the news.

The county in which this happened borders my county.......the man in custody

was caught when he showed up at the residence the next day to console the

wife of the man he murdered. There are some sick twists to this story. For

some reason the officer had a copy of his will in his squad. There has been

speculation that the man who murdered the officer was not only a friend, but

had had a romantic relationship with the wife. The officer and his wife had

only been married for three weeks. She didn't seem too awfully upset on the

news either. What a world we live in......

The wake was today and the funeral is tomorrow. Some of my 'guys' attended.

My condolences to Kane County.

My deepest prayers and sympathies to the officers family, the officers who

worked with him(brothers/sisters) ..and also to the dispatchers who worked

with this man.

Although we deal with it everyday, (death and sometimes mayhem) it is hard to

deal with.

When the stone is cast...it sends many, many ripples that effect many

shores.....

Cin in good ole Ohio....

try to be happy...BE SAFE

I have also heard some of this " sick twist " that you are talking about. I

was working the night this happened, I just came into work and I am about 45

miles from where this happened at. It is really confusing at first when

they were dispatching our ISPERN traffic for it, all they had was a possible

veh description, and that was it. It was put out as a " wanted investigation

homicide " . The thing that confused everyone that night was that he did not

advise he was going to be out with anyone, no license info was ran throught

his MDT (mobile data terminal), it was a big guessing game that night.
