Police look for missing teenager Father of 16-year-old CL South student says he’s concerned for her safety By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – The father of a 16-year-old Crystal Lake girl who went missing this week and is presumed to be with a 28-year-old man said he disagrees with a Crystal Lake police investigator’s presumption that his daughter is in no danger. Kalyani Sudhir, who was last seen Tuesday, boarded a train in Crystal Lake after voluntarily leaving her home, ac-
cording to a news release from Crystal Lake Police Cmdr. Tom Kotlowski. Police said Kalyani was last seen at 6 p.m. at Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago. “We don’t know where she went from there,” Kotlowski said. Kalyani might be with Nithin Nainwal, a 28-year-old police said might have a black 2008 Hyundai with a license plate reading “V596324.” Kotlowski did not know the relationship between Kalyani and
Nainwal, but said friends and family suggested it’s possible they’re together. Kotlowski said he does not believe Kalyani is in danger. But Sudhir Nair of Crystal Lake said he has been Kalyani Sudhir frustrated with the response from Crystal Lake police since July when he said he told them he believed

his daughter has a relationship with Nainwal, who once worked at Nair’s gas station. Nair said he has been trying to obtain a court order to prevent Nainwal from contacting his underage daughter. But Nair said Nainwal is an undocumented immigrant and has been difficult to find so that court papers could be served. “Now she is missing, and the police say she is safe. How can they say that?” an emotional Nair said. “He has kidnapped her – not physically,
but mentally.” Nair said his daughter is a Crystal Lake South High School student who gets good grades but does not have any friends, which is why he said he is particularly concerned about the influence a 28-yearold man, who has been speaking to her since the spring, could have on her. Nair said he fired Nainwal from his gas station in early July when he learned about the potential relationship he had with the girl.
Police said Kalyani is 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs about 125 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes. Police ask anyone with information on Kalyani or Nainwal’s location, or the location of the Hyundai, to call the police department at 815-356-3620. Tips also can be texted anonymously to 847411 with the keyword “TIPCLPD” in the text.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN McHENRY COUNTY
By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Woodstock-area pastor was arrested Friday after police found child pornography on his computer, McHenry County Sheriff’s Office officials said. The Rev. Timothy Williams, 50, was arrested at his home in the 500 block of Brookdale Road in Woodstock and charged with six counts of possession of child pornography, according to a news release from Sheriff Bill Prim. The Rev. His arrest Timothy followed an Williams eight-month investigation that began in early January with a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, officials said. Police with the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office executed a search warrant at Williams’ home in July. Police removed a computer from Williams’ home that contained images of child pornography and online chat messages with references to child pornography and other “deviant sexuality,” officials said. Williams had been the pastor of Heritage Baptist Church in Greenwood since January 2000, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was

A Pace bus crosses the railroad tracks Wednesday in Woodstock. Recently expanded service in McHenry County includes a fixed route from Elgin to Crystal Lake.
Pace expands bus service Route extended to provide transportation from Elgin to Crystal Lake By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Pace Suburban Bus has expanded its fixed route service in McHenry County, in a move that was applauded by transportation advocates. An expanded route from Elgin to Crystal Lake began Monday. Route 550 now provides services to Carpentersville, Al-
gonquin, Lake in the Hills and Crystal Lake – areas previously untouched by many public transportation services. The $524,666 investment, paid for by a Regional Transportation Authority grant to Pace, was touted as a link to the retail growth along Randall Road, namely the Algonquin Commons, as well as a connection to the Metra line in Crystal Lake. “Randall Road was certainly primed
for expanded services because of the retail development, and the residential development in some areas,” Pace spokesman Patrick Wilmot said. “We look at it as an opportunity to not only provide connections to the existing Metra service and other Pace services, but also as a key area for connecting people with jobs.”
