Dennis M. McArdle, 42, was charged with first degree murder in the killing of Anne Treonis Bowen, a lawyer with the Illinois Liquor Control Commission. Prosecutors say the March 5 execution in a parking lot near the Orange Line was a murder for hire. McArdle allegedly told police he was offered money to perform the crime and appeared in court for a Monday appearance, held without bond. Treonis Bowen, amid a divorce, was shot in the back of the head with a semiautomatic weapon. McArdle has prior felony convictions for battery and drug possession.
