The film details a detective's years-long probe into chemist Mathew Betkouski, while Illinois investigators and Arlington Heights police stress there is still no confirmed suspect and the case remains active.
2. 'Culpability' book pick sparks AI discussions at Arlington Heights library (dailyherald.com) — Arlington Heights Memorial Library's One Book, One Village pick, "Culpability," is driving a full slate of AI-themed programs across town through November and into early December.

'It is a neighborhood': Arlington Heights officials balk at St. Viator stadium plans (dailyherald.com) — Arlington Heights officials are pressing St. Viator High School to scale back its proposed 1,500-seat athletic complex, saying the project is too intense for the surrounding neighborhood.
