Serial killer Krajch tied to murders across Illinois Missouri
Police allege Krajch killed three women in 1977 following release. Victims include Mary and Brenda Parsh in August 1977 and Sheila Cole in November 1977. Cole, a 21 year old Southeast Missouri State University student, was abducted from a Cape Girardeau Wal Mart and found shot near McClure after alleged assault at a Carbondale residence. Additional murders and sex crimes span 1982 to 1983, with Krajci later jailed and in IDOC custody since January 1988 after parole violations and prison escape attempts.

Plan could place slots at tracks and expand casinos
Illinois lawmakers consider a plan to add land based Chicago and two more casinos, boosting annual gaming taxes while backing House Speaker Michael Madigan. The proposal also overhauls gaming oversight and could allow Internet betting on horse racing via advance deposit wagering. Local and county allocations would fund criminal justice and health care costs amid debate over economic policy.
