CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Will County Sheriff's Police said they will not have any more details about their investigation into the murder of a Crete Township man until his autopsy is complete Tuesday.
Francisco Aranda, 63, was found dead Monday in the trunk of a vehicle in his Crete Township home after an apparent robbery in the far south suburbs.
Officers responded to a well-being check at about 10:25 a.m. after someone said a couple who lived in the 26400 block of South Klemme Road had not shown up to work or answered their phones, the Will County sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Officers found a 59-year-old woman in the passenger seat of a vehicle in the attached garage of the home, the sheriff’s office said. She told police her husband was in the trunk of the vehicle, where police found him dead.
Deputy Chief Dan Jungles said the woman is cooperating with investigators and told police that two masked males had broken into the couple's home Sunday night to rob them.
Jungles said the woman was hospitalized for minor to severe bruising and that she is expected to be released from the hospital some time Tuesday.
