i mean, i dunno that to be true. but...i've been in and out of the county where he died and there is no talk about the case anymore. after he was found schools were evacuated...there was a manhunt...trains were shut down...roads closed...FBI helicopters all up in the sky...for a MANHUNT. and they never found who they were looking for. yet all of the action stopped. and the talk dried up. then the coroner came out and said he can't conclude whether the officer died by accident, suicide or homicide (http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/news/ct-fox-lake-police-shooting-met-0911-20150910-story.html). which says a lot. and the police got mad about the coroner talking 'bout it. meanwhile this coroner has called out the local state's atty office on its bullshit in at least one other high profile case (http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/opinion/ct-lns-rutter-calusinski--st-0715-20150717-story.html). so now he's at it again, it seems. i applaud him.

and i agree w/this editorial (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-fox-lake-police-edit-0925-20150924-story.html) which says the police investigating this case owe it to the public to be more forthcoming w/details about their investigation. considering the way they whipped the ppl into a frenzy in the days after the shooting, to got all radio-silent in the weeks after looks shady. or something. i suspect the police have evidence the cop shot himself (accident or suicide) but don't want to believe that b/c the cop has been lionized. he's been buried as a hero and the accident/suicide narrative contradicts that for many ppl. i think that's part of what's causing the police to drag their feet w/updating the public. but i dunno.
