Ted Sari of Sumbaum Cycle in Joliet was in disbelief after his wife told him about the account of the murder in Monday's Herald News. He said many of his customers use the trail, and that one of the nice features is that it isn't as crowded as other area trails such as the Old Plank Road Trail that comes through eastern Will County. It's the new highway for the bikes, said Denny Siebert of Denny's Ski and Bike Chalet in Shorewood. Siebert said he uses the trail often, and despite Sunday's slaying, believes it's still a safe place to be. Admonis and Margliano also said this was the village's first slaying since a man was killed following a bar fight about 10 years and the first one in 28 years where the offender wasn't immediately known.
Callers can remain anonymous.
Sunday's slaying also was the third in the area in the past week. Reporter Mike Cetera of the Aurora Beacon News contributed to this story. Join us in the Joliet news forum. Police release sketches of man, car seen in area. Few clues found in man's slaying.
