Park Forest slayings hint at drug link in town killings
The last two victims in Will County are linked to drugs, possibly marking a shift from random summer murders. Ralph Dixon, 40, and Crystal Knight, 25, were found stabbed in Dixon's Park Forest condo, with Dixon stabbed four times and Knight twenty times. Both victims were bound with eyes and mouths taped. Dixon, a former sheriff investigator, had a complex past with armed robbery charges and associations with suspected drug dealers. Authorities say the Park Forest deaths may not be connected to 14 earlier killings, though a drug violation link is under preliminary review. Four women were also found shot and stabbed in a ceramics shop the prior Saturday.
