Arrest in the case of Yingying Zhang:
Champaign Man Arrested, Charged with Kidnapping Visiting Scholar

Late today, FBI agents arrested a Champaign, Ill., man, Brendt Christensen, 27, on a criminal complaint that charges Christensen with kidnapping visiting Chinese scholar Yingying Zhang on June 9, 2017. Christensen will remain in law enforcement custody pending his initial federal court appearance in Urbana scheduled on Monday, July 3, at 10:00 a.m.


According to the affidavit, on June 29, 2017, while Christensen was under law enforcement surveillance, agents overheard him explaining that he kidnapped Zhang. Based on this, and other facts uncovered during the investigation of this matter, law enforcement agents believe that Ms. Zhang is no longer alive.

Members of Ms. Zhang’s family, the Chinese consulate, and University of Illinois officials have been advised of Christensen’s arrest and the evidence in the possession of the FBI.

Manorville Man Convicted of Killing 2 Women in 1990s
By Timothy Bolger -
July 5, 2017

A contractor from Manorville was convicted Wednesday of killing two women who were sex workers more than two decades ago on eastern Long Island in a case that hinged on DNA evidence.

A Suffolk County jury found John Bittrolff, 51, guilty of two counts of second-degree murder following a two-month-long trial and seven days of deliberations at county court in Riverhead.

Prosecutors have said Bittrolff killed 31-year-old Rita Tangredi-Beinlich, whose body was found in a wooded area off of Esplanada Drive in her hometown of East Patchogue on Nov. 3, 1993. Authorities have said he also killed 20-year-old Colleen McNamee of Holbrook, who was found in a wooded area south of the Long Island Expressway in North Shirley on Jan. 30, 1994.
