Toddler’s body in Garfield Park lagoon 1 to 2 weeks, CPD says
As city crews drained water from the Garfield Park lagoon, Chicago police officers hit the streets in the Garfield Park neighborhood Wednesday. They’re looking for anyone who may be able to help identify the child, a 2 to 4 year old African American.
The child’s foot surfaced Saturday, leading divers to search the lagoon where a head, second foot and hands were found over the weekend. All were crudely dismembered and placed in separate plastic bags with weights, officials said.
I’m not familiar with Chicago so I don’t know if that particular area is home to any ethnic African refugees but this story reminds me of a little African refugee boy who’s torso washed up in the Thames in London a few years back. Scotland yard linked the boys murder and dismemberment to ritual black magic and cannibalism.
I hope CPD finds who ever did this and they don’t go quietly, sick ****(s) . . .
I kind of doubt that. Suffocated, drowned or left in a dumpster maybe. Butchered usually means something else. It’s all reprehensible, but one is more degrees of reprehensible than other.
I had a guy in custody once, looked just like Side Show Bob. He spent an entire night raping/torturing/and dismembering a teenage prostitute. A buddy of mine found the poor girl’s remains in three different garbage bags. I won’t even go into the details.
And to think I’ve people on this very forum call me paranoid cause I CCW when taking the trash to the curb in my upper middle-class neighborhood. There are some truly evil ****s out there.
We caught a guy leaving the scene of a murder once. God told him that his dealer had killed his wife and that the guy needed to enact revenge. He kicked in the dealers door and attacked him with a length of heavy duty tow chain and a piece of chainlink fence bent into a ring/shank. He beat the guy so severely with the chain there were pieces of skull in the ceiling. He missed one swing and shattered the toilet in the bathroom. When we took him into custody he didnt care at all. Was making jokes and generally having a good time. Everyone that walked into that scene, seasoned cops and fire fighters alike, took a step back and said “holy shit!”.
Evil. Pure evil. It exists in this world and sometimes does a damn good job at hiding itself among the masses.
I suppose at one time the relatives of the inhabits of that area were African. Garfield Park is the deep hood. If it were not for the conservatory in the same park where this child was found there would be absolutely no reason for anyone to go there. The sicko that did this chose an odd place to dump the remains since that lagoon is not very deep and is not very far from body’s of water that would be more difficult to recover evidence from. way that spot? it sounds like there may be other dump sites too.
I don’t take issue with revenge.
Make it as bloody as hell, make it look painful and awful and very much like something no one would every consider doing to me again.
You live, play and work in the jungle, you live by jungle rules.
