IL IL - Debbie Fijan, 10, murdered, DuPage Co, 11 Feb 1966 #3

I just recently read that Mary (Schofield) Wiesbrook passed away last Sept./2023. Mary S. was the last living Schofield, Loren's older sister. Whatever she knew about Debbie's murder, she "took it to her grave". "Mums the word", All very sad, and rather interesting that only two of Mary's brothers, John & Loren were mentioned; along with Loren's wife MaryAnn in her Obit.

Still thinking about Debbie today, and reading some of the archived "newspaper clippings" from her tragic death on 02/11/1966. I need to stop watching Dateline, 20/20, etc. Those Cold Cases are usually solved, while DPCSO might not even be able to locate Debbie's file.
Loren F. Schofield was considered as a possible suspect in the murder of Debbie Fijan, age 10. He would have been 3 days short of his 27th birthday at the time.

LS walked, and his entire family including his mother Edna (Klein), fled Wayne Township/DuPage County shortly after Debbie's GJ "trial". Sadly, DPC State's Atty. William Hopf was no match for Defense Atty. Robert Chapski. It's never "what you know, but who you know".Loren F. Schofield was considered as a possible suspect in the murder of Debbie Fijan, age 10. He would have been 3 days short of his 27th birthday at the time.

Correction to the above, most likely irrelevant given the years that have passed.
As of Sept./2023, Loren Schofield's brothers Wayne & Ken still living.
