think it is really horrible that something like this happened. i'm surprised we were not notified in the neighborhood. >> the girl continues to recover. for this to occur right outside of the school is unthinkable. the fact that it occurred and was seen by a teacher and allowed to have happen that is a problem appeared. >> an autopsy will be performed today on human remains found in

the city's south side. a decomposed body was discovered behind a building at 91-st and harper yesterday morning. the body is believed to be female, but it has not yet been identified. a utility worker checking in the back of the house, spotted the body and called police. the remains were found underneath a pile of tires. neighbors say they had complained of a foul odor coming from the house for some time. >>later in the day, some people fishing in the cal sag channel found what could be a human skull. it was discovered on the southwest bank near 130th and south indiana avenue. investigators also found other skeletal remains in the area.

silence within the chicago police department. if not asked whether they did or didn't. i think it is time to get to the bottom and put these issues behind us. he denied plotting with anyone to cover up the attack. baseball hall of famer and former white sox catcher carlton fisk is due in will county court next month on drunk driving charges. new lenox police say they found fisk passed out in a pickup truck monday night. the truck was in the middle of a cornfield, and it was still running. police say fisk declined a blood-alcohol test and had an open bottle of liquor. fisk became a hall of famer twelve years ago. he played the last 13 years of his 24 year baseball career, with the white sox. fisk is now out on bail. >> and all the men are calling for more police officers on the street. some say bigger is not always better.
