I went to Walgreens at lunchtime and got a copy and read it over lunch. A very compelling read but, as you said, not much new. I did not read Pat Berry saying Kevin should have been released when the DNA cleared him. I read a sentence stating he still defended the work of the detectives.Maddy's Mom said:There is a rather lengthy article chronicaling Riley's story in this month's Chicago magazine. It affirms what we already know and also offers additional insight into Kevin and Melissa's thoughts and feelings. I found it extremely interesting. The reporter even got Pat Berry to admit that Kevin should have been released when the DNA cleared him. Of course, most of the others who were contacted for comment refused because if the pending lawsuit.Those in the area can pick it up at Walgreen's.
Genecam- beware because it will leave you even more angry at the detectives in this case than before.
I am not any angrier at those thugs than I was before. However, I hope, more than ever, that Kaupus and all of them join Tomczak in the unemployment line after the November election. I can't think of any job appropriate for them. The immediate cliches are insulting -- garbage collectors and dog-catchers are honorable people in honorable professions.
Kaupus and the detectives belong in jail. Hopefully they will be, with the threat of each of them being *advertiser censored***d everyday and taunted by the guards. It's a shame they won't have to personally pay the millions that the Fox family wins in the civil suit. I hope it's at least $10 million. Unfortunately, no amount of money will bring Riley back or make up for the horrible way she died, but the family deserves every penny for what LE put them through. This was one of the worst cases of LE misconduct and abuse of authority that I have ever heard of. It rivals the Nicarico case.
The article does, however, reinforce my opinion that the case will never be solved due to the way the investigation was botched. Certainly Will County LE will never solve the case, and I doubt that they even want to. And the article also reinforces my opinion that the supposedly "new" investigative team is irrevocably compromised due to the overwhelming conflict of interest they have in not wanting the defendants in the civil suit look any worse than they already do. An acquaintance of mine who is an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Chicago said that there is no way Will County will ever let this case go to trial, and that they would have to be nuts not to settle it before then. However, they will drag it out until after the election. If they settle before then, Kaupus and the detectives are even deader ducks than they are now. I think the tape of Tyler being browbeaten by Mary Jane Pluth is probably worth about 5 million bucks in and of itself.
