Report: Security firm suing parents of Riley Fox

A security firm is suing the parents of slain 3-year-old Riley Fox, saying they failed to pay a $70,000 bill.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday that National Investigators & Security Agency Inc. of Oak Forest filed its lawsuit against Kevin and Melissa Fox this month in Will County.

The lawsuit claims the company investigated the child’s murder between May and December 2008, based on an oral contract with Fox attorney Kathleen Zellner, adding Melissa Fox also signed a written contract with the firm.

The Foxes’ attorney did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment.

Riley Fox was found dead in a creek outside Wilmington in 2004.

Kevin Fox spent eight months in jail before being cleared by DNA evidence. Scott Eby pleaded guilty in November to the murder.
