Mystery surrounds Des Plaines cold case investigation
DES PLAINES, Ill. (WGN) — For three days, a cold case investigation has unfolded at a home in northwest suburban Des Plaines, but many questions still remain unanswered behind the purpose of police's investigation.
The Des Plaines Police Department (DPPD) confirmed Wednesday afternoon that investigators arrived Monday morning at a house in the 100 block of North Warrington Road, but DPPD declined to share any other details in relation to the investigation.
When WGN News arrived Wednesday, evidence markers labeled '4-28-2025' were left on the doors of the house.
The activity has sparked significant interest from those who live close by, leading to rumors on what could be going on.
'Just that there's a body in the backyard or in the garage. Hopefully, that's not the case, but that's the word on the street,' said Jeanette Sedano, who lives in the area. 'If you go on the Internet, you can see where they have the tent up and they're digging.'
Late Wednesday morning, DPPD put out a press release that said they, along with the Cook County Major Case Assistance Team (MCAT), were conducting a follow-up investigation at the same address, 'stemming from an old case,' and 'Contrary to some reports, investigators are not searching for a body at this residence.'
On Tuesday, SkyCam 9 flew over the residence, where police could be seen sifting through dirt in the backyard of the house with a tent, tarps, buckets and several other tools set up to aid in their investigation.
No other information is available at this time and DPPD said there's no threat to the public, but more information will be released once police reach a point where they believe it won't jeopardize the investigation.

The address of the house is also the listed home address of Raymond Marshall.
In November 2023, Marshall was charged with armed robbery and attempted kidnapping after allegedly trying to rob and kidnap a 35-year-old man in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood. He was one of three suspects involved in the armed robbery.
However, it remains unclear if Marshall has any connection to the investigation playing out at the same address.
It also remains unclear if the investigation is connected to a cold case from the local, state or national level.

Finfluencers under surveillance: AMF joins forces with regulators across the globe
MONTRÉAL, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ - From June 2 to 6, 2025, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) participated in the Global Week of Action Against Unlawful Finfluencers by joining forces with several other regulators to prevent and counter unlawful activities engaged in by financial influencers (also known as "finfluencers"). The AMF wanted to achieve two objectives with the actions it carried out as part of this initiative: raise public awareness of the risks associated with the products and advice offered by some finfluencers, and draw finfluencers' attention to the potentially illegal aspects of their activities while contemplating targeted actions against specific finfluencers. Consumers: Using critical thinking and acting with caution The AMF released short videos featuring two of its investigators and published a new webpage urging consumers to exercise critical thinking and caution when considering financial products and advice offered on the Internet and social media. Their content focuses on how to identify potentially misleading or fraudulent information. Finfluencers: Understanding and following the rules The AMF's investigations team contacted a long list of Québec influencers representing a combined audience of over one million followers in order to raise their awareness, caution them or ask them to remove content from their posts. The AMF also published a webpage explaining what rules finfluencers needed to follow to comply with the law. In certain, more problematic cases, the AMF also opened investigations into illegal activities. "Most finfluencers are acting within the framework of the law. Some, however, are touting products or services without being registered with the regulators. Others are making false promises of a lavish lifestyle or easy profits," said Éric Jacob, Executive Director, AMF Enforcement. "By joining forces with other regulators in Canada and globally, we clearly affirm our commitment to raising public awareness and combatting illegal conduct that puts consumers' finances at risk." National and international cooperation International relationships are vital to countering this problem. The AMF has worked closely with the following regulators on this initiative, which was led by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA, United Kingdom): Alberta Securities Commission (ASC, Canada) Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC, Australia); British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC, Canada); Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV, Spain); Ontario Securities Commission (OSC, Canada); Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA, United Arab Emirates); Securities & Futures Commission (SFC, Hong Kong). About the Autorité des marchés financiers In its role as regulator, the Autorité des marchés financiers acts to maintain a financial sector that is dynamic, operates with integrity and warrants public confidence. It regulates, in whole or in part, activities in the following sectors: insurance, deposit institutions, securities and derivatives, distribution of financial products and services, mortgage brokerage and credit assessment.

Man accused of burglarizing McHenry home twice arrested after standoff
MCHENRY, Ill.
