FBI joins murder investigation

JOLIET – The FBI has joined Will County authorities in their investigation of the 2004 murder of a 3-year-old Wilmington girl.

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow and FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Robert D. Grant announced the formal cooperation Thursday, and said FBI agents have been informally reviewing the case of Riley Fox for about a year.

Hikers found the girl’s body in a creek 4 miles from her Wilmington home shortly after she disappeared in June 2004.
