Eugene Dorsey, Eugene Dorsey 31, of Chicago, stole items from the homes of residents of an Elmhurst senior living facility he worked for in 2015. Elmhurst Police first began their investigation in November 2015, after items including jewelry, were reported missing from a resident’s home in the independent living side of Park Place senior living facility, according to a release.
