Death of Fox Lake police officer ruled a suicide (Updated)

Two months after his death sent a shudder through Fox Lake, investigators say one-time hero cop Joe Gliniewicz killed himself and tried to make it look like murder to cover up years of embezzlement.


 Task force Commander George Filenko says Gliniewicz had taken thousands of dollars from the youth program he ran, then when it appeared he was about to be discovered, used his knowledge of police investigative procedures to make his suicide appear to be a homicide.  


He used the money for personal purchases, mortgage payments, travel expenses, and adult websites.


His death September 1st had touched off an extensive manhunt and an investigation that included the state police, the Secret Service and the FBI.

The wife and son of Fox Lake officer Charles Joseph Gliniewicz could be facing even more bad news.  Reports indicate that Melodie and son D.J. are under investigation. 

Commander George Filenko said this case  isn't finished, noting their investigation strongly indicates criminal activity from at least two others.
