Cops: Pathologists’ findings led to murder charge By JIM SUHR The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Murder charges against a former Illinois prosecutor and Big Ten football standout in his wife’s death eight years ago are rooted in pathologists’ new findings that her body’s condition at the scene showed she died of foul play and not flu-like symptoms, authorities told The Associated Press. Quincy Police Chief Rob Copley said the case took a dramatic turn late last year when a recently promoted detective dusted off the file and sought opinions from two outside pathologists, each of whom concluded that 38-year-
old Cory Lovelace died of foul play on Valentine’s Day 2006. Curtis Lovelace, 45, was indicted last month on a first-degree murder charge in Adams County Circuit Court, where he prosecuted hundreds of cases as an assistant state’s attorney. He appeared in court Friday, shackled and in striped jail clothes, for a scheduled arraignment and told a judge he needed more time to find funds to hire an attorney. The arraignment was pushed back to Oct. 8. The former Quincy school board member who since Cory Lovelace’s death has married twice more remained jailed in lieu of $5 million bond. Cory Lovelace’s death in
the family’s home in western Illinois’ Quincy along the Mississippi River had remained an open case, given that an autopsy and coroner’s jury at the time failed to pinpoint what killed of the mother of four. Ed Parkinson, the case’s special prosecutor, said Curtis Lovelace had told authorities after his wife’s death that “she had been ill for a few days.” Copley said the detective perused Cory Lovelace’s file after he “heard other people talking about concerns about the case,” adding that the man “identified some inconsistencies between what was found at the scene and what was being said.” Copley wouldn’t elaborate.
BRIEFS Kitchen fire damages DeKalb apartment DeKALB – A fire fueled by bacon grease caused about $20,000 in damage to an apartment at 914 Ridge Drive in DeKalb, fire officials said. Firefighters were called to the building about 11:40 a.m. Friday and arrived to find smoke coming from the third floor of a multifamily apartment building. They spent about 15 minutes putting out the kitchen fire, according to a DeKalb Fire Department news release. The fire damaged the apartment’s kitchen and living room, but heat and smoke damage extended throughout the apartment. Five people live in the unit, DeKalb fire Chief Eric Hicks said. About 60 people live in the building where the fire happened, said Tiff Meadows, property manager of Hunter DeKalb Properties. The building has 21 apartments with three bedrooms in each unit, Meadows said. The bacon grease fire began accidentally when the residents were cooking on an electric stove, Meadows said. DeKalb, Cortland and Sycamore fire departments responded to the scene. Fire officials will release more information about
the incident later this afternoon, while the garbage truck was upright but also damaged. Hicks said. – Andrea Azzo No tickets have been issued, according to the release.

Brandy Roberts was flown to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, where she was in serious condition, according to a police news release. The driver of the garbage truck, Milton Mishler, 59, of Cortland, suffered minor injuries and was taken to Presence Mercy Medical Center in Aurora, the release indicated.

Chicago taxi drivers threatening a slowdown CHICAGO – Chicago taxi drivers are staging a slowdown to press their demand for a fare hike and the regulation of ridesharing operations in Illinois. Broadcaster WBBM in Chicago reported there were few taxis at Midway Airport on Thursday, and United Taxi Drivers Community Council Fayez Khozindar is wishing “good luck” to people attempting to grab a cab Friday in the city or its airports. Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride said the city hasn’t been notified of any slowdown. She said taxis continue to be dispatched at O’Hare and Midway airports. Gov. Pat Quinn in August vetoed legislation that would have regulated services provided by drivers who use personal vehicles to provide transportation to the public. Customers use their smartphones to order rides offered through companies such as Uber X, Lyft and Sidecar.
