A Fox Lake Police Officer Joseph Gliniewicz is seen right here in 2007.
But Filenko and Covelli declined to disclose the new evidence, citing an ongoing investigation into the death of Lt Charles (Joe) Gliniwiecz.
Funeral arrangements have been set for Monday for a slain Fox Lake Police Department Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz.
Investigators have encountered other challenges in gathering evidence at the crime scene.
“The blokes needed to exit and purchase machetes and weed whackers they usually’ve been chopping these things out of the best way and turning over each leaf and did find one thing that shall be vital down the street”, Covelli stated.
Covelli also said Saturday that FBI technicians piecing together several videos that are part of the investigation have told detectives some of the images line up with the description Gliniewicz gave dispatchers of the men.
Police are “getting closer to identifying” people of interest after evidence technicians returned to the swampy, overgrown crime scene Friday, said Cmdr.

Meanwhile, authorities are hoping home surveillance video turned in by a Fox Lake resident can provide key evidence in their search.
