 Hundreds of law enforcement officers for a fourth day searched the
region of Fox Lake, located about 60 miles (97 km) north of Chicago
near the Wisconsin border, for three men suspected in the Tuesday's
shooting of Fox Lake police Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz,
52.
The videos come from various sources, including transportation
department cameras at nearby traffic intersections, businesses and
residences, Lake County Major Crime Task Force Commander George
Filenko told a news conference.
"They all come together chronologically," Filenko said of the
videos. "They are not separate, they are not independent. They are
different cameras that are putting the story line together."
Motorola Solutions Inc pledged a $50,000 reward for the apprehension
and conviction of offenders. A company representative told the news
conference that several of its employees live in the area.
Given the remote location of the crime, authorities said they
believe the suspects, described as two white men and one black man,
are from the area and may still be nearby.
"Individuals are more comfortable hiding in place," Filenko said.
"That is what we are hoping for, that they are still in this area
and still within our reach."
Police are asking schools and business to check their records for
people who were absent when Gliniewicz was shot, Filenko said.
"We have a mission here and we're focused and we'll keep going until
we solve this case," he said.

Gliniewicz's .40-caliber handgun was found near his body, Filenko
said, declining to disclose how many times, if any, it was fired or
whether the weapon was used to kill officer.
Investigators have examined more than 100 leads, Filenko said.
Officials established a phone line and website for tips.
A public viewing and funeral service for Gliniewicz have been set
for Monday at Antioch High School in Antioch, Illinois, the
sheriff's office said.
