Wow

For those of you who were wondering why Duncan Avenue was shut down yesterday...


Body found along bike path
DUNDEE TOWNSHIP — Several passersby discovered a dead man along the Fox River Trail Monday afternoon, prompting closure of section of the bike path and nearby Duncan Avenue just north of Elgin's Trout Park.

The man was a probable murder victim, police said. Officials did not disclose the man's identity as of 8:45 p.m. pending notification of family members, police said.

Police were dispatched to the spot where the body was found around 2 p.m. and quickly cordoned off a small, wooded area just east of the Fox River between Covey Street to the north and the Interstate 90 overpass to the south in unincorporated Kane County. The location was yards away from the border between Elgin and Dundee Township, and fell within the Kane County Sheriff's jurisdiction.

Police widened the closed-off area to Trout Park Boulevard.

The people who found the body, two men and one woman, remained on the scene. The Polish speakers did not communicate in English.


This is about a mile from my house. I was actually fishing right were this happened last week. On the way home today a noticed a Latino family putting a large cross up on the side of the road. My guess is the crime occurred elsewhere and the body was dropped off here. However, that is just speculation.

Eerie.

Sad.

This is so sad Scott, I feel kind of silly but I was scared when I went out alone tonight to Blockbuster. Well you know that, I called you to tell you. It is just so close to our house. We could see the police from our windows all day yesterday.

Looks like you were right Stepher's!
