Sources to FOX 32: Fox Lake Lt. Joe Gliniewicz committed suicide

Source: FOX32 News

CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - Sources have told FOX 32 News that the task force investigating the shooting death of Fox Lake Lt. Joe Gliniewicz has concluded it was a suicide.

After examining all the evidence, the task force has determined that Lt. Gliniewicz took his own life, due to personal and professional pressures.

On Wednesday at 10:00 a.m., the task force plans to provide the details of their investigation and what led to their conclusion.

Lieutenant Joseph Gliniewicz was found shot to death more than two months ago. He radioed in to say he was pursuing three men in a remote area of Fox Lake, not far from the Wisconsin state line. But when backup arrived, he was found dead.

FOX 32 will have more information for you tonight on the news at 9.

There was just a story on WGN that the department was being audited. It looks like the results of that audit won't be very flattering to the lieutenant.

harass the admin asking for the audit. The Fox Lake police chief stepped down before this suicide happened .
WGN I think has been doing a good job of reporting and also discussing this with experts they have brought in to comment on the case.

The wife and son who have lawyered up and are being investigated by the authorities?

I was attacked yesterday for wondering whether they were involved, and how they should not be entitled to his pension money if they had any idea of his embezzlement activities.

This story has legs, but I'm sure the police will minimize it, because of course, there is seldom such a thing as a "bad cop," and it might hurt their precious image.

and I am sorry for the family of a father who shoots himself, a family who may not receive pension proceeds - I know EXACTLY how that feels

do you really think those younger children were involved?

Yes, too bad for the younger children who may not have been involved. But guess what, daddy was a very bad human, and so if the only person legally entitled to his pension, wifeepoo, was involved, then that's a bummer, but the kids will have to find some other family to support them.

Or they can do a Go Fund Me page, and lots of idiot Pig supporters will be there to throw money at them.

Even in the midst of the manhunt, people were calling bullshit.

Not a lot of surprise in this area.

They still had to spend countless hours, costing the taxpayers plenty of money, because after all....there is no such thing as a Bad Pig.

Oh well, they would say. It's not their money anyways, nor is the money that was embezzled by there former brother.
