Murder Suspect Terence Doddy Taken into Custody after Chase

Media report here: http://rockrivertimes.com/2014/07/02...d-to-rockford/

This guy is suspected in two murders this week. One on Monday where he beat another man to death and set fire to the office building; the second at one of the Willow Creek rest areas where he beat a woman to death and stole her car. Apparently there was a high-speed chase from Rockford to Beloit, Wisconsin.

If the link fails, look to the side for a list of top stories.

That will get you to the latest.

I've probably met and talked to all of the attendants on both sides of I-39, both rest areas. Have been impressed with them, a happy, good group, certainly all traumatized by this. Will never be the same. They were unlike the staff at other rest areas and welcome centers. Low key but on top of it. Very helpful. Spoke easily about the area (North Central Illinois).

In all seriousness, I feel bad for these folks, the attendants.

Terrible for the victims and their families. Senseless.
