Police: Conclusions in Gliniewicz Case Could be Revealed Soon

Task force commander George Filenko said conclusions in the case could come in the next couple weeks.

There have been few details revealed in recent weeks surrounding the investigation into the Sept. 1 shooting death of Fox Lake Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz.

But, that could soon change. George Filenko, task force commander for the Lake County Major Crimes Unit, told ABC 7 that conclusions in the case could be coming in the next couple weeks. He estimates the case will be completely closed by the end of November.

β€œI think what we are looking at here is at least a finding by the coroner’s office,” Filenko told ABC 7. β€œI’ve been in contact with Dr. Rudd, our coroner, continuously, sometimes several times a week discussing the case. We have been working in unison, he has been extremely cooperative.”
