Not that it is relevent to this case, but Al Capone had ties to Fox Lake.

Al Capone had ties all over Lake County. Lots of folklore around here, most of it true.

Several thousand people gather to pay respects to slain Fox Lake officer. #rip https://t.co/jD8kMTqAcK

Just came from the memorial/candlelight vigil. It was moving. The support from the community and LEOs from as far as Chicago and Wisconsin was impressive.

This local reporter had a pretty good livetweet with pictures going: https://twitter.com/MEKColeman

Another thought I just had about this case has to do with the commuter train line. It's a little out there, but this case is so puzzling and so disturbing so I'll just throw it out there. Could it be that these three came into the area via the commuter train line? Maybe from Chicago? And then set out on foot and purposefully headed to an out of the way area to continue their journey to who knows where once exiting the train? From what I recall reading, this town is the "end of the line" for that commuter route.

It could be a workable theory, although the cement plant is half way in-between the Fox Lake (end of line) and Ingleside (first stop) stations, probably a mile from either.

New perspective from a local working in the area at the time of the incident emerges. The video at the bottom gives quite a bit of perspective on the area and the activity just after the incident.

Per live 5 pm newscast it took 3 minutes for back up to arrive on the call made by Lt. Gliniewicz. 3 minutes.

I believe the Lieutenant called for backup 3 mins after his initial call in but it took 6 minutes for officers to arrive on scene. Reports on NG tonight stated that LE will not verify that the officer's gun and pepper spray were found.

Can you link this because I am not getting where it took 3 minutes? I find the response time incredibly fast and wonderful. I wish it was that fast by me on the Northwestside of Chicago. Breaks my heart that the officers heard G.i. Joe killed... Breaks my heart. This was on NG tonight.

7:52 he calls in first time
7:55 he calls in second time
8:01 officers arrive

To get on with the investigation, I thought some good points were brought up on the NG show. Maybe a boat was nearby and used by perps? Possibly the train? Also there were reports of squatters in the area but they had since gone. Maybe there were some new ones?
An industrial area that's noisy and full of strangers would be a great place for a meeting, hand off, etc.
Maybe I watch too many movies...

It was a live newscast I was watching on TV so no link. Let me see if I can find one that hasn't been updated. It appears the local stations are updating rather than posting new articles so some information is being lost by recycling-updating the same article.

This was NBC's report. On the tablet so let me see if I can get the links. If you look back at the post I quoted above, my post preceding this one listed my source as the live news broadcast.

I think the abc link with the video which includes the call to dispatch from Lt. Gliniewicz included the info about the 3 minute response time.

Might be some new(er) timeline details here. Some seems new to me.

Not sure if it's related, but just heard on WBBM AM radio Chicago there's a "huge" police presence with helicopters overhead due to reports of a man running through an open field in Volo, Illinois. Volo is just a few miles south of Fox Lake.

No time to read here now but not sure if this link has been posted.
Locals post and comment on scanner activity.

oops, I hope this link is allowed on this thread since WS has a scanner thread in the basement.
The link includes pics from the vigil and how neighbors are honoring the Lt. with displays in their yards.

Reports have been of 2 or 3 people. Helicopters have increased over the area again with this. It is about 5 miles due south of where things happened. The area is different, being largely farm fields with a few farmsteads, meeting with newer subdivision neighborhoods. Very little woods, swamp, or lakes. Have heard of lots of K9 requests. It is night and the area is large.

This is a quality local source that is fairly real-time, although limited by availability of people listening to the scanner and transcribing (ie; not staffed 100%). It covers Lake County (where Fox Lake is), as well as McHenry County, which directly neighbors Fox Lake to the west.

The link about the 3 minute response time is linked around the time the 5 pm news aired. It's since been updated and I don't see it anymore.

The times above contradict the 3 minute response time. That's why I was asking.
