Reporters grilled Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez at a press conference this morning where she announced the first-degree murder charges brought against alleged serial killer Michael Gargiulo in the brutal 1993 stabbing of Glenview teen Tricia Pacaccio.

Christopher Brooke Beal could face up to 30 years in prison after submitting false expense claims.
The former executive director of the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook Country (SWANCC)—which manages garbage collection for 23 suburban communities— has been charged with stealing more than $900,000 over a four-year period, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez announced today.
