Illinois Cop's Death Will Be Declared A Suicide: Officials
CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities will announce that a northern Illinois police officer whose shooting death led to a massive manhunt in September committed suicide, an official briefed on the crime investigation told The Associated Press.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office has called a Wednesday news conference to announce "conclusive results" of the investigation. The official spoke to the AP Tuesday night on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
The investigation into the death of Lieutenant Charles Joseph Gliniewicz determined that the Fox Lake officer died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, other media outlets reported Tuesday, all citing anonymous sources.
A spokesman for the Lake County Sheriff's Office, Christopher Covelli, declined any comment Tuesday evening. The office said in a statement that it would not comment until the news conference.
Gliniewicz, a U.S. army veteran affectionately known as "G.I. Joe," radioed on Sept. 1 that he was chasing three suspicious men on foot. Backup officers later found his body 50 yards from his squad car.
Authorities said in October that the officer, 52, was shot with his own weapon.
He was struck by two rounds, one that hit his ballistic vest with the force of a "sledgehammer" and another that pierced his upper chest, Lake County Major Crimes Task Force Commander George Filenko said at the time.
After Gliniewicz's shooting, a massive manhunt ensued, with hundreds of officers searching houses, cabins and even boats on a chain of area lakes. Authorities released a vague description of three suspects, though no one was ever arrested.
Flags flew at half-staff in honor of the 30-year police veteran after the shooting in Fox Lake, a close-knit community of 10,000 residents located about 50 miles north of Chicago. Signs with the officer's picture hung in storefront windows.
The tattooed officer with a shaved head was described by those who knew him as tough when needed, but also as sweet and a role model to youngsters aspiring to go into law enforcement.
More than 100 investigators stayed on the case for weeks, though questions arose in mid-September, and investigators began to concede that they could not rule out suicide or an accident.
One hint came when Lake County Coroner Dr. Thomas Rudd announced that Gliniewicz was killed by a "single devastating" shot to his chest. That prompted an angry response from Filenko, who said the release of such details put "the entire case at risk."
Gliniewicz's family dismissed the suggestion of suicide. His son D.J. Gliniewicz said his father "never once" thought of taking his own life, and described how his dad spoke excitedly about what he planned to do after retiring.
Gliniewicz had four children.

Absolute Exhibits Fills January Trade Show Calendar with Shows Across the USA
The start of the new year brings more trade shows to USA than any other month of the year … Absolute Exhibits is ready to help serve all January 2016 exhibitors.
Tustin, CA (PRWEB) November 04, 2015
The trade show exhibit calendar is filled to the seams with shows in January especially in Las Vegas, Orlando, and Southern California. Some of the largest yearly shows take place in January: CES, International Builders, Kitchen/Bath Industry, and Shot Show in Las Vegas; NAMM and International Spa and Salon Expo in Southern California; and the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. Not to mention AHR in Chicago and NRF in New York City. These are all major international exhibit shows with both foreign exhibitors and show attendees.
“Using a one-price system for a complete exhibit project from design, fabrication, interior elements to shipping to the show floor and installation and dismantle, allows our clients to put their emphasis on marketing and sales … the real meat and potatoes of the trade show floor. Additionally, Absolute Exhibits has a policy of no post show billing. The upfront charges include all monies owed, unless clients make changes. That is how we win business and keep business as our clients know they are within their budget upfront and never have to concern themselves again, ” said Todd Koren, company CEO, in response to the question what sets Absolute Exhibits apart from other exhibit houses.
Traditionally international trade shows have exhibitors from around the world. Absolute Exhibits, a trade show exhibit builder, has a sizable group of foreign language speaking account executives in their sales offices and builds exhibits for many foreign-based clients. Absolute Exhibits’ knowledge of multiple languages and customs has helped immensely in growing exhibit business throughout the world. Included among the languages spoken are Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Arabic. The Absolute Exhibits staff has proven to be far more helpful than just building a trade show exhibit on the show floor. This winter Absolute Exhibits will be fabricating everything from custom exhibits solutions to system exhibit rentals for clients from the United States and around the world. Trade shows offer an unequaled opportunity to discover and experience the latest developments and trends in a particular industry in a very short period of time and with face to face exposure.

Established in 2000, with locations in Southern California, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Bucharest, Romania, Absolute Exhibits rents and sells custom and system exhibits at over 300 shows in the USA and in countries around the world.
