CHICAGO (Reuters) - A Lake County,
Illinois, investigator said on Tuesday people seen on a chronological
video put together by the FBI were not involved in last week's fatal
shooting of Fox Lake Police Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz.

Investigators interviewed then ruled out the individuals on the
video who matched the general description Gliniewicz gave over the
radio, Lake County Major Crime Task Force Commander George Filenko
said during a news conference.
"We believe at this point they were not involved," Filenko said.
Officials have described the suspects as two white men and one black
man. No additional details, such as clothing, height, weight were
given by Gliniewicz, Filenko said.
Filenko said investigators do not have any video relevant to the
investigation.
In addition, DNA evidence recovered from the crime scene was not
from Gliniewicz, but from an "unknown donor," Filenko said.
Investigators have fielded 185 leads, Filenko said. Officials are
re-canvassing the area and re-interviewing individuals.
Hundreds of police have been searching for suspects since
Gliniewicz, 52, was found wounded last Tuesday after reporting that
he was pursuing three suspects on foot. He later died.
