The relative that had contacted the Sheriff’s Office had advised that the residents had not shown up to work, and were not picking up their phones.  Deputies were provided access to the residence by a family member.  Upon deputies making entry into the attached garage, deputies located a female victim, age 59, inside of a vehicle. 

The female victim advised deputies that her husband was in the trunk of the vehicle.  The female victim was transported to a local area hospital and is in stable condition.  The male victim, age 63, was pronounced deceased on the scene. 

The female victim stated that two masked males entered her residence the previous evening for the purposes of robbing the victims. 

This is an active death investigation, that is in its early stages.  When appropriate, the Will County Sheriff’s Office will put out additional information.
