(March 17) -- On the evening of Dec. 7, Lacey Claire Gaines, a 20-year-old mother of one, was found slain inside her Justice, Ill., apartment. Evidence found at the scene suggests that Gaines knew her assailant, but so far no arrests have been made.

Ever since, Gaines' aunt, Cherry Simpson, has devoted every waking hour to her niece's case in an effort to ensure that justice is served.

"I miss her," Simpson told AOL News. "I liked hearing her sweet voice say, 'Hi, Aunt Cherry. It's me. Lacey.' I wish I could hear that voice again."

Murder investigation of Justice woman continues
By James Pluta
Desplaines Valley News

The 20-year-old Justice woman found stabbed and strangled to death inside
her Hickory Trace apartment unit Dec. 7 had just left her 2-year-old son
at his grandmother’s house — fearing for his personal safety — hours
before she was brutally murdered and left for dead, according to a source
close to the family.

The victim, Lacey Claire Gaines, whom relatives and friends said was
dating a new boyfriend of late, also was involved in a court custody
battle with the father of the boy, who revealed in the Cook County Circuit
Court filing that he had sex with her when she was 16 and he was in his
20s.

The last known hearing in the “petition to establish parentage” filed
pro-se by the boy’s father on March 18, 2009 (Case # 2009D679047), was
back in May, according to court records viewed by the Desplaines Valley
News.

Police Chief Robert Gedville said no charges have been filed yet, even
though detectives working the case have “interviewed every known boyfriend
she’s associated with” over the years — including “a few” possible
suspects who were in custody early last week and have since been released.

“We have interviewed everyone we can and our (Southwest Major Crimes) Task
Force has 30 to 40 detectives working around the clock to get this
solved,” Gedville said, adding they are looking into every lead and are
hoping someone calls Cook County Crimestoppers with information that leads
to the apprehension of the assailant.

Tipsters, who don’t have to identify themselves, are urged to call (800)
535-STOP and if their leads result in an arrest they could earn a $1,000
reward.

The crime — which continues to remain the subject of much chatter and
speculation on a number of news and crime victim’s web sites — has been
described by investigators as an “isolated incident,” meaning neighbors of
the victim should not be concerned a killer is on the loose.

Gedville said there was no forced entry to the apartment and no evidence
anything was stolen, suggesting the possibility Gaines may have known her
attacker. He also said there is no known motive at this point, but that
“every avenue is being explored” with hopes of hunting down the killer.

When police arrived at the apartment — responding to a 911 call made by an
English-speaking “acquaintance” of her current boyfriend who arrived home
to find her dead inside — they found Gaines unresponsive and covered in
blood and rushed her to Advocate Christ Memorial Hospital in Oak Lawn.

Once there, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said she was
pronounced dead on arrival at 7:19 p.m.

Both the current boyfriend and the father of the child were questioned in
connection with the case, as were others.

While an embalmer with the Kepouros Funeral Services stated the fully
clothed victim died of a single knife wound to the neck and was likely
choked as well with an electrical cord, a medical examiner’s “first
responder report” shared with family members indicated there was a cord or
rope around her neck, a 4-inch deep gash to the left side of her neck and
a surface stab wound in her left shoulder.

However, there was no apparent sexual assault and no signs of a struggle,
perhaps because Gaines was caught off guard or was sleeping at the time.

Gedville confirmed a kitchen knife with a 10-inch blade recovered from the
residence was “very likely” the murder weapon and was one of many things
taken into evidence. However, no suspect vehicles were impounded.

Someone close to Gaines who requested anonymity stated through domestic
violence victim’s advocate Susan Murphy-Milano of Chicago that Gaines had
sought help in March for alleged abuse, stalking and death threats, had
tried to get a court order of protection served on the child’s father to
no avail, yet seemed to be trying to get her life back together.

Gaines, a single mother, worked three jobs — including as a
waitress/hostess for the past two years at Kingsberry Waffle House in
Flossmoor, which she quit earlier this year. She earned money to raise her
son, pay off a car loan and a mortgage for a house her parents bought in
Steger that she and her son shared briefly with the child’s father.

Jimmy Mantas, her manager at the waffle restaurant, called her untimely
death a “tragedy” and “traumatic” for those that knew and loved her.

“It shocked everybody, but we have high turnover here so some of the girls
here now didn’t know her while some did,” he said. “We hope everything
gets solved.”

Gaines graduated from south suburban Grant Park High School in 2008, which
she attended for her senior year after transferring from Illinois Trinity
Lutheran Day & High School in Crete, where she spent her entire grade
school period and her first three years of high school.

While in high school, she worked for two years as a waitress at a
relative’s fancy establishment, Vic’s on Main, in Crete from 2005 to 2007
and overlapped that job with a waitress/hostess/salad and dessert cook
position at Maxwell’s in Beecher from 2006 to 2008.

In a resume she typed up looking for a new job this summer, Gaines called
herself “very outgoing” and one who enjoys speaking to all kinds of
people.

“After my years of experience in restaurants, I feel very comfortable
talking to people and helping them in any way,” she stated. “I also have a
good knowledge of computers and am very familiar with working registers. I
can also speak Spanish fluently.”

A beautiful young lady who was religious but not a regular churchgoer, she
also spoke some French, learned in part from her early teenage years as an
exchange student in France.

However, life took some sharp turns for her after she got pregnant at 16
and beyond, and e-mails obtained by the newspaper indicated she was
reaching out to domestic violence advocates for assistance.

E-mails and cell phone text message records also obtained by the newspaper
between Gaines and the boy’s father and others she confided in claimed an
alleged pattern of abuse and violence, some which is known to have been
documented to police in Crete, Steger and Chicago’s Southwest Side — where
Gaines’ current boyfriend lived with his sisters

Neither the boy’s father or the new boyfriend could be reached for comment
for this story.

Family members said the new boyfriend attended the wake, but others in
attendance indicated the boy’s father allegedly came just to pick up his
son before being kicked out by an uncle of the victim.

Shares many links on left and right sides of page with more on Lacey. 

This is from a myspace email from a friend of Lacey's. After you click on link and read Benita's reveiw comment scroll further down the page. There's a post by an anitalacey82 on 12/02/2009. Could that have been Lacey? I knew she desperately wanted to move back home.

social network sites...tend to give good insight.  Lacey  hadn't signed in since Christmas of 2008 though...but she does mention a boyfriend and her heading is disturbing...though I am sure that this has been viewed, it helps to have it close(especially in that moment that something comes to mind and you are looking for the link)...here is Lacey's Myspace page: www.myspace.com/laceyclaire

oh no...maybe I should have asked before posting that.  Please remove the myspace page if it doesn't seem appropriate.  I know that social networking sites has helped me in research...maybe a comment that someone has left...anyhow, I hope that didn't upset anyone.  I just want to find her killer...it is such a tragedy...she seemed to be a real advocate for abused women...

Lacey Gaines: Fighting Beyond the Grave For Justice
Lacey Gaines was barely 20 years of age when her body was discovered on the kitchen floor of her apartment. The year before she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

Chances are Lacey left the baby with a relative that day because she felt something in her "gut" was wrong. At 7 p.m. the evening of December 7, 2009 Lacey was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

In early 2009, she sought direction and support from various family members because she was a victim of domestic violence. Like many women, Lacey worked two jobs to support she and her child. She was an excellent mother.

On March 18, 2009, in a Cook County, Illinois court, a petition to establish parentage was filed by the baby's father, SANCHEZ REGELIO [Sanchez has used several alias in the past and I am not sure what legal name he is currently using]. The case link is HERE.  Everyone called him "Daniel" including Lacey. Sanchez took the paternity test and was proven to be the baby's father sometime in May of 2009.

Briefly in 2009, I spoke with Lacey on the phone and she was terrified of Daniel, the child's father. At that time, Lacey indicated she needed more time to think about the best plan of action for her safety, which is very common for any woman being abused, and I did not hear back from her.

A huge red flag, at least in my opinion, is the fact that Sanchez allowed the paternity case to go off the court call on September 25, 2009. Indicating to me that he was up to no good.

Lacey had begun a new life for herself by moving to a new residence and beginning a relationship with a man who did not abuse her. He was good for she and her son. Lacey hoped one day in the near future, after the couple married, he could adopt the child as his own.


Sanchez, according to sources, grew increasingly violent over the new relationship, abused Lacey each time he saw her or picked up the child during visitation, fitting the profile of "if I can't have her no one can." Remember Lacey ended the relationship and Sanchez was enraged over her decision to go on with her life minus this coward. Most abuser's cannot handle rejection, this includes Sanchez.

Now, a month after Lacey Gaines murder, police in the town of Justice, Illinois still do no have a person in custody. Why does it take so long for justice in cases of intimate family homicide?

Lacey Gaines did not deserve to die. In my opinion she stood up to the abuser and for that her life was taken away. Her son will never know the courage and warmth of this amazing woman.


I am asking that you take a moment to sign a petition for Justice for Lacey [pictured on there left] at:

Lacey had more than one MySpace page. It's alright anyone can find them by simply googling her. I understand her behavior, at times was rebellious. The Lacey I knew was soft spoken, hard working and a loving person. She was always polite, always kind. I miss her and love her deeply.

She was just a sweet young woman who grew up among the corn fields of Grant Park Illinois. She had a wonderful sence of humor. She loved her son very much. She spoke fluent spanish and french. She was a very hard worker.

If you go to her URL www.LaceyGaines.com (http://www.LaceyGaines.com) you'll find stories and many well wishes. The media updates are there. Photos, the petition, the FB Fan page.

We all just want her killer to be found. There is a "Cold Stone Killer" running free. Lacey would want her son and family to have peace and safety.

Is there a picture or date of birth for Lacey's sons dad?

I was recently contacted by a woman, from the Chicago-land area, who is an intuitive (psychic) she asked me not to name her but to pass along her message. She wrote me through my Facebook email.
__________

Beginning of her message:

I started seeing all the images and messages surrounding this case. Usually I just write them down somewhere and let them sit. But, yesterday I was compelled to send over to you because they were so strong.

I read lacey story today and i usually refrain from doing so because many times i recieve messages and really dont want them. but, i will share with you what is being shared with me from the other side. please feel free to do with the info as you wish. but i have one request, i ask you not share who you recieved this from. may help in your investigation. i am a very private person, even though i use my gifts everyday. this kind of work is too hard for me to do for everyone. the lord knows I have a heavy heart and have great trouble not releasing the pain from my life.

here it is: there were two men that came over that day to your nieces home. i think only one went in the home, they are associated with a gang in america, very connected in fact. look for another man, his name starts with a t, or his nick name starts with a t, short stocky guy with some facial hair. they are in close proximity to the area. but are transients and move around alot. they acssociate with a young woman with tats on her arms and one across her neck, her name starts with a c, maybe cindy, there again, not called by her real name.

they are tough cookies. be careful, i dont feel danger around you, just really mad that you keep tracking them. this girl knows things, look for her. hope this help. love and light,

Lacey's friend told me on 12/19/2010 that Lacey said Juan had a crazy ex girlfriend who came around and Lacey went back to Daniel for 3 days or the girlfriend did.

I also heard from Lacey's a family member that 2 latino girls one with a tattoo around her neck came to Lacey's wake. No one knew them and when he asked who they were they said they lived in Lacey's building.

I received a letter from Lacey mother in Jan which said Lacey had moved back in with Daniel for a period of about 2 weeks. She said Juan's ex-girlfriend was pregnant. I was not aware of this happening nor do I know when it happened.

I heard from another friend:

What??? I do not see lacey going back to daniel for 1 minute. And I know Juan had an ex girlfriend. Lacey told me she was really young and Im almost positive she is the little sister of Juans brother in law. Lacey had little problems with her calling Juan all the time. Her and Juan changed their numbers a million times.

I certainly didn't mean anything negative toward Lacey...when I looked at the myspace page...and then read other places...I see more of her speaking out for victims...that is what I was referring to when I wrote that her heading is disturbing...about the blackened eyes.  I too have been in that same situation...I am a soft spoken girl...that others always describe as sweet and hard working...but, in the past (in my twenties) I became mixed up with an abusive man...and a few shady characters.  You don't even see it coming...everyone use to tell me that I didn't fit in with those around.  Finally, I got myself out of it...I worked two and sometimes three jobs to survive...I am now graduating from college...and realize so much more that I didn't when i was twenty...Lacey was finding that...it seemed...it is so sad that she wasn't able to grow even more...her killer needs to brought to justice.  I do apologize if I upset you...that is the LAST thing that I would want to do.  I am new here and have A LOT to learn.  The Scared Monkeys that I have followed are wonderful and they all work hard at finding justice.  I am so sorry for you loss...but, I believe that the killer will be found soon.  Take care.  I have gone to the different sites now...and I have found so many wonderful things about Lacey.  I hope that Connor is doing well.

Condolences on your loss. Any loss is tragic but a young mother being killed just seems even more cruel.
Has her ex boyfriend, the babies father been given a polygraph? doesn't seem that much of a leap to consider him a suspect. 

Don't miss Dana Pretzer tonight at 9pm ET:

In a complaint filed today in the Circuit Court of Cook County, the Boards of Education of Argo Community High School and Indian Springs School District are seeking an injunction against Sunset Lake Apartments so that the districts' buses may be allowed access to the roadways within the apartment complex to pick up and drop off students, which the school districts assert had been the case for over twenty years without objection.

Photos of the apartments just days after Lacey's murder.

Yes her ex-boyfriend the father of her son was given a Police polygraph and he had an alibi. Her murder was such overkill, the strangulation and then slashing of her throat, IMHO seems so personal.
The area has a high level of gang activity according to the apartment reviews on the internet. I don't know what happened but I am praying they find and prosecute him (they) soon.
Thank you for your interest.

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I really appreciate everyone who has been so kind to look at Lacey's case and speak to me about it. It helps to know someone cares.
Her son misses her greatly, I was told he cries for her. He is with family and is safe and loved. Until the murderer is caught I am concerned for his and her families well-being.
You would have liked Lacey. She was a sweet, funny girl. A good mom, a very hard worker. She deserves justice. Thank you for helping me shine a light on her case.
Luv- Cherry

An email I received:


Also, read the last one:

This place is a total and complete dump and the building manager Irene is a horrible horrible person. The owner Joseph Getto needs to stop hiding behind Atillah the Hun(Irene) and assist the people whom he's living fat off the hog on. I pay too much damn money to live in this overpriced project! Had I known that before the ink dried on the lease all the courtesy and customer service would dry up with it I wouldve never moved in. One thing is for sure Deneen in the collections office is the only HUMAN being that works for this entire outfit. DO NOT MOVE TO SUNSET LAKE!!

I agree, this is the projects and i have never ever lived in a project before in my life until now, i had only drove by the projects on my way downtown but never went in, this apt complex is ridiculous, too much drug activity, fighting, neighbors that still packages from in front of your door, and too many breakins, which i say is done by maintenance, who's always out there hawking and whistleing at the teen girls on there way to school, they think it's quite here it is'nt, and management dont care who the hell they let move in. they just want that money, and they think all black people dont know there rights, you may have some that dont but alot of them do, it is a shame what goes on in sunset, and they do not have to live here like we do, if i knew someone who stayed here before i signed the lease i would have never dropped 2800 dollars in no ones hands, this is not a place to raise kids or a dog, but you better know im moving out and im going to make sure my friends and their friends know about the mess that goes on here it is an outrage.

DO NOT MOVE HERE! ..., Not Recommended, May 13, 2008, apartment review of Sunset Lake Apartments in.
www.apartmentratings.com (http://www.apartmentratings.com)
Review of studio apartment at Sunset Lake Apartments in Justice, IL posted May 13, 2008

Thank you for answering my question. My thoughts after reading your post, a gang member will not usually go to such messy lengths to kill a person. Usually a gun is used and if a knife then it it more of a stabbing rather then a slashing. It does seem personal, angry even, a crime of passion if you will, that is why I first thought her ex but you say he has an aliby. Do you know where he was? Does he have a new girlfriend that could have been jealous of her? Or maybe an ex girlfriend? Was she seeing another man?
I read some of the things about the apartment building, hmmm. Did she call the cops on anyone? Did she have any trouble with any of her neighbors or workers there?

I really think the person that did this was very angry at her for whatever reason. I would also keep watching the comments made about her and this crime.
Do you know if the police have come up with a profile of the killer? Is the FBI involved?

I am sorry her son cries for her. Little boys love their mama's, it is heartbreaking for me to read that. I have little boys and I know they would be such sad little guys if anything happened to me. This is so sad.

The Dr Lori Roth Show with Susan Murphy Milano discuss "Who Murdered Lacey Gaines" including a mysterious letter received telling who may have murdered Lacey Gaines. With special guest Lacey's Aunt Cherry.

http://www.therothshow.com/demos/recent/hour2Jan2611.mp3

From a friend after they listened to Dr Lori Roth and Susan Murphy Milano radio show - they gave permission to share but prefer to stay anonymous

#1. You mentioned how Lacey always wanted to fight back...you couldn't be more right. I can remember her telling me that she would get something in on the babies dad when he would hit her. She saidhe had to so he wouldn't get away with it. I feel like some

#2. The way she was murdered was WAY TOO personal....they wanted to make damn sure she was dead and she suffered but still she didn't fight back at all. What has come out of the autopsy??? Could she have been drugged???

#3. She asked her grandma to keep the baby for a reason....did she make plans to go out or have someone over??? Whats gone on with looking at her phone records? I knew Lacey pretty well and she seldomly had sitters when she wasn't working and if she did it was for a reason like to get out or have company just to do something for a change cus she did work alot.

#4. Back to this maintenance man....from what I heard shortly after I found out what had happened to Lacey I heard that there was no sign whatsoever for a break in....so either they had a key or she knew n trusted the person. Is it a coincidence she was murdered the day she got a sitter. What I believe is that she made plans to do something whether it was go out or have someone over. She had a sitter and obviously wanted some privacy. She let them in cus she trusted them and they somehow got her? Was she tied up? If she wasn't tied up then she had to be drugged...there are many drugs that are hard to catch in a tox screen. If she wasn't any of those then it just don't make sense.

I hope and pray for justice for her all the time, she didn't deserve this at all but I do believe it was someone she knew and she trusted and possibly they were coming over to talk with her so she asked her grandma to keep her baby for the day. The phone records need to be looked further into and I almost bet either there was a text or a call made and whoever she may have talked to that day or the day before has got to know something. Much love to you cherry!

My thoughts:

It's been over a year and the police have kept very closed mouthed. They have not returned calls to almost anyone and have turned down all offers of help, including John Douglas.

Susan Murphy-MIlano and Robin Sax received a strange anonymous letter in the summer and I forwarded it to Ton Dart Cook County Sheriff and I did get a call from a special States Atty, who has asked me not to use his name. He said it was an on going investigation and as soon as they feel they have enough evidence to prosecute they will.

Statement Analyst Peter Hyatt called and offered his services and was also turned away.

Wes Clark of LIES stated he feels as I do and Peter also suggested an outside polygraph be given as did John Douglas. To my knowledge none of this has been done.

The Police did tell AMW they were waiting for DNA over a year ago. A det also told me they had surveillance video. Also waiting for phone records.

There was also something I found out completely by accident.

Lacey' had asked me to make her resume in March. On the resume were references. My husband was one - a personal reference. Her boss supposedly was one. But when she was murdered a reporter asked me for a copy of the resume. I gave to him and he called the references. The boss said girls come and go but not much else. Later on I received information that the name was the owners and phone number was for another man, the manager. I was also told he had been allegedly paying Lacey's bills. There was a falling out between this mans girlfriend and Lacey. Lacey lost her job there. This same man is a soccer coach and I found numerous photos of Lacey attending a Chicago Fire fund raiser only available to members of the Assoc. This man also lives just down the street from Lacey's apt and drives a large white car.

I wondered if maybe the police have video of him coming and going.

The anon letter refers to the Apt's and the people who run it. Ironically there was a review on Yahoo about the apts which said Lacey was killed by a maintenance man.

In my unprofessional opinion the murder was an execution. No one tried to cover anything up. No forced entry, no defensive wounds. She was strangled and then her throat was slashed. I was told on the first responders report there was a small gash across her left clavicle as if the knife caught there. It was a 4" gash in her throat.

The letter also said they were concerned some off duty police officers may have allegedly had something to do with the crime.

The police have also turned down a free billboard said only done for "Cold Case" and it was reported LE told family members do not add to the reward save your money.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I thank you for stopping and looking.

Unsolved Murder of Lacey Gaines

Lacey Gaines was a beautiful young mother who was brutally attacked and murdered in Justice, IL on Dec. 7, 2009.  However, justice has not come forth for Lacey, her murderer has not been arrested, and her son is left without his mother.

Mystery Remains - Who Killed Lacey Gaines
http://www.bloggernews.net/125961 (http://www.bloggernews.net/125961)

by Simon Barrett in Society and Culture, crime
Read 63 times.

On December 1, 2009 Lacey Gaines, from Justice, Illinois celebrated her 20th birthday but only 6 days later this young lady was found dead in her apartment. According to police there were no signs of force entry, no evidence of sexual assault and no evidence of robbery, yet her boyfriend found her in a pool of her own blood with an electrical cord wrapped around her neck. Her throat had a 4-inch gash across it. Police say that evidence found at the scene do suggest that Lacey Gaines could have known the person who took her life.

Who would want to kill this young girl full of life and that everything to live for? Lacey’s aunt, Cherry Simpson described her niece as a sweet polite girl that grew up in a lavish country home that had attended a private Lutheran Day school. She was one of a few selected students through an exchange program at the school that were allowed to travel to France to help teach students there. She returned to France the following year at the age of 15 which seems to be when she started to exhibit some rebellious traits. Simpson said her niece got pregnant in 2007 but ended up in an abusive relationship causing her to have to get an order of protection.

After the birth of her child she started seeing a new man that was Hispanic that spoke little English. She told her aunt that they were in love. In March 2009 her baby’s father began to question the paternity of her son and took a DNA test to make sure he was the father. Her Aunt said that during this time Lacey had moved to another apartment and when she didn’t hear from Lacey as often she had hoped it meant that things had finally started to look up for her.

Now here it is February 2011 and still no one has been charged for the murder of Lacey Gaines. Who has killed her? Have they gotten away with murder, or do they just think they have? Although they have not made it very clear as to who they have their main focus on, the police have stated that they are sure that Lacey’s child’s father has nothing to do with it.

The sad part about this case is that Lacey Gaines is just one of an ever increasing number of crimes that remain unsolved. I would not have heard about this case were it not for my good friend, author Denny Griffin. On Tuesday evening his CrimeWire radio program spotlighted the story. Within hours, the reward offered for information was doubled to $2000. While $2000 is not a huge amount of money, it does go to show that the internet can make a difference.

More information about the case can be found on crimewiresite.com. My personal view is that rather than collect the cash, the person or persons that have information should share it with Law Enforcement. Someone knows something. It is time to step up to the plate and help solve this murder. A family is grieving and angry, Lacey cannot be brought back, but she and her family deserve justice. If you have information, please share it. There are numerous ways that this can be done without it being made public.

Let Others Know About This Post

Many tips have come in since the www.Crimewiresite.com radio show of 2/1/2011 - there is also a forum there.

You can also find discussions on TheHinkeymeter, Mndhunter, TruTV and Websleuths as well as here.

There have been several tips which have come in. Many question the friendship between Lacey's manager who lied on her resume and to the reporter James Pluta. They feel he may know more than what he is saying.

I have also heard some speculation on the new boyfriend, also an illegal alien. Lacey had told her family she desired to return home as he was not who she thought he was. It was rumored he had a double life and a child with a younger niece.

Lacey definitely wanted out of this apt complex. In fact if you look at the Yahoo comments on the Sunset Apts you will see it is stated a maintenance man killed Lacey. If you scroll down there is a comment from a LaceyAnita saying she wanted out. The photo which now appears next to that post wasn't there originally.

The letter speaks about the Apts and the management. Wes Clark made several observations on the letter and the comment made at the forum.

From Wes Clark of LIES (http://"http://www.truthsleuth.com/"):

The letter you were referring to, was that about the apartments written by "anonymous" on 9/19/2009? What I found interesting with that was the writer complained about the lack of security, drugs, gangs, constant break ins, and added, "...no one else but the maintenance they have keys to everything and every door in the building..." I thought it was interesting that the writer felt the need to add that. They mentioned break ins but then the fact maintenance has keys? Why? I thought that was odd and if it was written by the suspect, it could indicate a plan or preparation to the commit the murder and to leave a bogus suspect trail to divert the investigation. No force was used for the "break-in" at the murder scene, right? Also, this was written in mid September...I think I read that in September the baby's father also stopped pursuing the parentage through the courts? If that's the case the timing is interesting and maybe he decided to pursue another path to eliminate his problem? Of course, I have just read some things online and not the case reports, evidence, interviews etc, so this is only a guess on my part and just another avenue to pursue. It looks like the letter was typed on a message board of some sort, so the computer forensics should be able to be traced if they get a search warrant (or consent) for a suspects computer.

Lacey Claire Gaines Murder Case #09-06670 Justice, IL

I just heard "the police know who killed my niece Lacey."

It was the two maintenance men who worked at the Sunset apt complex. One ran away to Mexico.

Why hasn't there been an arrest? Why not go get him from Mexico. Can't FBI get involved if he left the country?

Have the police gotten the IP address off the internet Yahoo comment below:

Chicago Breaking News - 12/09/09

The slaying of a 20-year-old woman who was found strangled and stabbed inside her south suburban Justice apartment appears to be an isolated incident, Justice Police Chief Bob Gedville said today.

The incident does not appear to be a robbery or a burglary, the chief said, and police are investigating whether the woman killed, Lacey Gaines, knew her killer. Gaines, of the first block of Hickory Trace Drive, was single, Gedville said.

About 7 p.m. Monday police responded to a call for an unresponsive female covered in blood and found Gaines, Gedville said. She was pronounced dead at 7:19 p.m. at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, and her death was ruled a homicide by the Cook County medical examiner's office. She died of strangulation and multiple stab wounds, the office ruled.
{complete case coverage below}

Police have been conducting several interviews but do not plan to file charges in the immediate future, Gedville said. No suspects are in custody, he said.

Death of 20-year-old Justice woman ruled a homicide

He couldn't speak English so he had a female companion call 911 and asked the Justice, Illinois Police Department for help. It was too late. Lacey was [...]

Happy New Years! Would you mind writing a letter or just making a call and leaving a comment (it's easy) - 2 yrs is too long for an investigation to say they know who murdered Lacey and are letting a murderer go free.

Why won't they ask for help in catching the killer?

Is she your niece? This is the first time I've noticed this thread.

Yes she is my niece, she was very special to me. Dana was very kind and did a commentary the day after her murder and he later had me on and covered her story. He is a very kind man and I am forever greatful to him and Scared Monkeys - they've always been so helpful to victims, including my niece and my daughter.

Did Domestic Violence Play a Role in Lacey Gaines’ Murder
by holliston2012

Lacey Gaines was murdered on December 7, 2009 in her rundown apartment in Justice, Illinois. While speculation has run rampant about who did it, there are still no suspects. She did have a child with a boyfriend who she later told people physically beat her. Daniel Rogelio Sanchez, Lacey told friends, co-workers, family and social [...]

I saw this on websleuths - just speculation but with all the illegal aliens in Lacey's life it does make one wonder:

 America's Secret ICE Castles http://www.thenation.com/article/americas-secret-ice-castles# (http://www.thenation.com/article/americas-secret-ice-castles#)

"If you don't have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he's illegal, we can make him disappear." Those chilling words were spoken by James Pendergraph, then executive director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of State and Local Coordination, at a conference of police and sheriffs in August 2008.

This maybe what happened in Lacey’s case. The police said they had a very good suspect. Just not enough evidence to prosecute.

Police chief fired in Chicago suburb of Justice
 
 JUSTICE, Ill. (AP) -- A suburban Chicago police chief has been fired  over allegations he failed to properly discipline an officer accused of  sexually assaulting a woman in a patrol car.
 
 Robert Gedville's dismissal is also linked to a consulting arrangement he had with a red-light camera vendor.

It's so frustrating.  First you have the Justice PD that almost criminal in their handling of this (and I'm referring to REFUSING any outside help), and then you have others FIGHTING people who want to find out what really happened to her.

It makes no sense!  I just don't understand.  Do they not realize that they don't have the "right" to decide that justice doesn't need to be served in Lacey's murder?

Justice is not just the name of a town!

My feeling are that the problems in the Justice Police Dept go much deeper than are now apparent and an investigation by the State's Attorney and/or the FBI is certainly warranted. I am asking please look at the handling and investigation of my niece's murder.

I just wanted to let everyone know Lacey's URL has received a complete facelift. It has many more photos and a bittersweet video of her time spent in Paris. There are lots of new things.

I'd love feedback. www.laceygaines.com

Last night Dana Pretzer had on 2 special guests. Jacque Hollander (Victim Advocate) and retired DEA Agent Kelly Snyder of http://FindMe2.com both have spent many hours trying to help with Lacey's case.

Kelly Snyder's organization helps many missing and murdered persons and all you need to do is ask by going to his website.

The Dana Pretzer Show – Tuesday, August 27, 2013 – With Bounty Hunter Bobby Brown, Jacque Hollander and Kelly Snyder

Dana welcomes special guests:

• Jacque Hollander (Victims Advocate) and Kelly Snyder discussing FindMe2

Jacque Hollander and Kelly Snyder of Findme2.com on the Dana Pretzer show discussing their work in helping murdered victims, the lost and the work they've done on the Lacey Gaines Murder case from Justice, IL - http://LaceyGaines.com

I want to thank Dana for having them on. Jacque Hollander has been producing songs and productions and was recently in Steger, IL with The Carson and Barnes Circus. On the opening night she had a candlelight memorial for Lacey. She said not one person did not participate. But she felt Lacey's murder was not to be spoken about out loud. She visited many places where Lacey had frequented.

I'll let you hear what Jacque had to say in Dana's Show. I am very grateful for any support in finding Lacey's killer. Thank you for caring. ::MonkeyHeart::
