Local Policeman Killed in Fox Lake-- Part 3: Joe Gliniewicz

SEPTEMBER 1ST, TUESDAY

As I drove north on US-12 (Rand Road) the short distance, about two miles, to Fox lake, I began seeing lot of police and emergency vehicles.  The area starting where Ill-59 breaks off of US-12 had cop cars about every 150 feet, all facing he heavy undergrowth where they thought the three murderers were hiding.

By the time I got to South Sayton it was wall-to-wall police with several tents.  Evidently this was the headquarters of the manhunt.

Needless to say, Liz was watching all the breaking news on TV and following it on Face Book  Not only were there many policemen from the local area, but FBI and ATF.  It was the main topic of conversation at several places we went to afterwards. Later we met our friends Sue and Paul at Half-Times in Johnsburg.  This morning they had been in northern part of the Lower Michigan Peninsula at their cabin and had heard about it within an hour after 8 a.m. when the murder took place.

Sue bicycles with a woman from near the where the murder took place and when she had gone out for a ride, a policeman said this would not be a good day to do it and told her why.  She went on Face Book and told Sue.  Like I said, we didn't know anything until after 1 p.m..  They listened to the events unfolding on their drive home.

Sadly, at the end of the day, the murderers had not been caught.
