Source: Specific suspect sought in Tinley Park murders
February 13, 2008
By Angela Caputo and William Lee, Staff writers
Investigators looking for the killer of five women in a Tinley Park clothing store have identified a suspect and are actively searching for him for questioning, a source said Tuesday.
Information on the suspect came from a tip to the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force, which is coordinating the investigation into the Feb. 2 slayings at a Lane Bryant store, according to a source close to the investigation.
Police cars were parked Monday outside the Lane Bryant store in Brookside Marketplace. Five women were slain and a sixth wounded inside the store Feb. 2.
Police urge anyone with information about the attacker to contact them.
The gunman is described a black man between 5-feet-8 and 5-feet-10, 25 to 35 years old, with a medium complexion and a stocky build. He was last seen wearing a black jacket and black jeans with rhinestone detailing on a back pocket.
His hair style was described as a series of three to five puffy corn rows, with a single strand hanging down over the right cheek.
Anyone with information about the Brookside Marketplace killings should call the hot line: (708) 444-5394.
The source would not provide any more information on the person being sought.
"The tip looks promising," the source said.
The source declined to say where the tip came from, including whether it resulted from digital billboards that went up this week containing the composite sketch of the killer as drawn from a description by the sole survivor of the crime.
George McDade, of the Cook County Crime Stoppers, hopes the billboards will lead to identifying the killer.
"Somebody knows who this guy is and where he is," McDade said. And with thousands of people passing along well-traveled stretches of highway where the signs hang, he said "it's only a matter of time," before a tip comes in that cracks the case wide open.
