Woman and Son Found Dead In Rural Sycamore, Killer Still Not Found

Police are still searching for an 85-year-old woman and her son who were murdered in western suburban Sycamore.

Around 6 p.m. Monday night 85-year-old Patricia Wilson and her 64-year-old son Robert Wilson were found in their home on Old State Road. Blunt force trauma appears to be the cause of death, according to investigators who spoke with wgntv.com.

The killer appears to have broken into the home and possibly used a nearby bike path and that's where investigators are focusing. In a news conference yesterday (8/16), authorities say they are searching for the Patricia's missing car. It's a 4-door Chevy Impala with Illinois registration 903 0980, according to wrex.com

Police are asking residents of Sycamore to keep their windows and doors locked and to pay extra attention to their surrounding until an arrest has been made.
