OAK PARK, Ill. — A prominent couple, both lawyers, were found dead in their home Monday night in a Chicago-area suburb, and investigators said the circumstances are suspicious in nature.
Thomas E. Johnson, 69, and Leslie Ann Jones, 67, were found dead around 7:30 p.m. Monday by Oak Park police officers conducting a welfare check at their home in the 500 block of Fair Oaks Avenue.
“Preliminary information gathered at the scene indicates that the deaths occurred under suspicious circumstances,” Oak Park Police Chief LaDon Reynolds said in a video news release. “However, none of the injuries appear to be self-inflicted.”
Both Johnson and Jones were graduates of Harvard Law School
Investigators say their deaths are suspicious.
