Police want to question pair in deaths of 2 men

Officials have released sketches of a pair of men wanted for questioning in the deaths of two Chicago men whose bodies were found wrapped in plastic near a forest preserve bike path.

The medical examiner has said 34-year-old Edgar Mercado and 18-year-old Jamie Cepeda were strangled. Construction crews working to pave the Centennial Trail near Lemont found their bodies last week.

One body had been beaten. The other was drenched in blood.

Cook County Forest Preserve Police say one of the men they're seeking is about 30 years old. He's around 6 foot 2 and has dark eyes.

The other man is in his fifties and about 6 foot 3. He has green eyes, gray hair and acne scars.
