Now, local police are imploring the public for their help to move the case forward. “Part of the investigative process is not only to examine the scene but also to look beyond the incident for movements in the area that might offer clues that can help solve this heinous crime,” Oak Park Police Chief LaDon Reynolds said on Monday. “That’s why I am asking residents in the surroundi
