I just found out that a guy I went to high school with, Brian Charles, and his wife were found murdered in their home today.  Here is the story as the Chicago Tribune reported it:  "Bodies of couple found, child unharmed

JOLIET, Ill. - A small child was found in a Will County home where the bullet-riddled bodies of his parents were found by the ex-wife of the dead man.

The bodies of 31-year-old Brian Charles and 23-year-old Angela Charles were found Monday by Kathleen Rundle. Police say she had gone to the house to retrieve videos for the two children, ages 7 and 10, they have together.

Will County sheriff's department spokesman Pat Barry says after no one answered the door, the ex-wife found it unlocked and entered the house.

Barry said the bodies of the pair were found in separate rooms of the house, with the 2-year-old found unharmed near his mother. He said there was no sign of forced entry and no weapons were found in or around the house.

Barry said authorities consider the deaths homicides."

I wouldn't say the Brian and I were "friends" so to speak.  I did know him and had classes with him and recently read about how he was on Facebook.  On the face, he seemed like he was doing OK...It was sad to hear about this act of violence.  I am under the impression that as of now, the cops don't have a suspect in custody.  Here is the Joliet PD website should you come across any information about this horrible crime...RIP, Brian...
