The grim case began when one victim was found in a Will County home Sunday. Police then found seven more bodies at two Joliet residences on Monday. All victims were from the same family, deepening the tragedy.
“I’ve been a policeman for 29 years, and this is probably the worst crime scene I’ve ever been associated with,”
