Prosecutors this week announced a felony indictment against Melodie Gliniewicz, the widow of an Illinois police officer who staged his own suicide to make it seem like he’d been killed in the line of duty. Gliniewicz is accused of assisting her husband’s alleged theft of funds from a charity.

The disgraced police officer accused of embezzling money from a youth group before committing suicide apparently tried to have a woman murdered last spring because she was close to discovering his crime.

According to reports, cops are now investigating the wife and son of an Illinois police officer who allegedly staged his own suicide to hide the fact he’d been embezzling money from a youth program.

The Illinois police officer whose mysterious death triggered a days-long manhunt and was later ruled a suicide killed himself because he feared that state auditors were about to uncover his years-long scheme to embezzle thousands of dollars from a youth charity, according to police.

The shooting death in September of a northern Illinois police officer that triggered a widespread manhunt has been ruled a suicide, the Associated Press reports. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office will announce the investigation’s “conclusive results” Wednesday.
