Man charged following deadly ATV crash
Charges have been filed against an Illinois man following a deadly ATV crash during a cruise ship excursion in the Bahamas.
James Darling of Park Forest has been charged with vehicular manslaughter and possession of dangerous drugs. Darling allegedly caused the death of his passenger after the ATV he was operating rolled over.
Skull identified
Investigators have determined that a skull discovered in the wall of an Illinois home in 1978 was that of an Indiana teenager who died more than 150 years ago. According to a timeline provided by the Kane County Coroner’s Office, the property owner found the skull while renovating the home in Batavia.
Police launched an investigation, but the case went cold, and the skull was relegated to the Batavia Depot Museum for storage.
A forensic laboratory was able to build a DNA profile from the skull that suggested it was that of Esther Granger, a 17-year-old girl who died during childbirth in Merrillville, Indiana, in 1866 and was later dug up by grave robbers.
