2 in custody after woman found dead at White Pines Golf Course
Two people are in custody, police said Friday afternoon, after a 37-year-old woman was found dead Thursday morning at White Pines Golf Course outside Bensenville in what is now being called a stabbing.
The Cook County sheriff's department would not detail the relationship between the two suspects and the victim other than that one of the people in custody lived with the woman, ABC 7 Chicago reported.
No charges have been filed yet.
DuPage County Chief Deputy Coroner Charlie Dastych said the preliminary cause of death has been determined to be a stab wound to the back. Dastych said earlier reports of the woman being severely beaten are untrue.
The woman's identity is not being released, Dastych said, because officials are using fingerprint records to confirm the identity and it could take several days.
The woman's body was found by a groundskeeper about 8 a.m. near the entrance of White Pines Golf Club and Banquets, 500 W. Jefferson St. Police think she was the victim of a homicide that occurred on the 11500 block of Grand Avenue in unincorporated Cook County near Melrose Park.
Cook County sheriff's officials are not releasing any details of that investigation but are saying "there is no threat to public safety."
