About this Article

Several Naperville police officers spent part of a late August morning comforting a young Olivia Dworakowski, who had gotten lost on her first day of kindergarten. They never imagined two months later they would find her again, this time as a victim to one of the city's most horrific crimes. “This is a very stressful time for our department, as you can imagine. This was a horrific crime scene," said Police Chief Bob Marshall.
