Not since police discovered the bodies of their parents and five of their employees inside the Brown's Chicken restaurant the couple owned have Jennifer Shilling, Dana Sampson and Joy Ehlenfeldt been together on an anniversary of the murders.
It wasn't until March 2002 when there was a break in the case. Anne Lockett informed Palatine police her former boyfriend, James Degorski, and his friend, Juan Luna, told her and another woman days after the crime that they were responsible. Both parents were deeply concerned about social justice, Sampson said. In college, Richard worked to ensure fair housing for minority students. He also worked on several presidential campaigns. Lynn, a social worker, registered Black voters in the South during the 1960s. Members of the Kingswood United Methodist Church in Buffalo Grove, they were involved in the PADS program for the homeless there.
"My kids play soccer," said middle sister Sampson."I always have a cow bell with me. That's a part of my mom I bring to my kids." Arriving at the family's Arlington Heights home early on Jan. 9, she noticed her parents' car wasn't in the driveway and the absence of tire tracks in the freshly fallen snow. Meeting her at the door, Sampson's grandmother told her Lynn and Richard hadn't arrived home and they hadn't been able to reach them.
