(CNN) — Police say they believe they know who killed a 31-year-old Southern Illinois woman and her two young sons, but are waiting for prosecutors to build a strong forensic case against the suspect before disclosing his identity.
“We don’t have a warrant for his arrest at this time, so we don’t feel it would be prudent to give his name out until the state’s attorney determines whether or not there’s enough to charge him,” said Maj. Jeff Connor of the Major Case Squad.
Connor heads the squad that is part of the St. Louis, Missouri, homicide task force. He made the comments during an appearance on HLN’s Nancy Grace.
