Chicago Police detectives are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in a laneway in Chicago’s south-east early this morning.
Police and paramedics were called to a laneway behind “Lesly Paper” Art & Craft Supply shop on E Hyde Park Blvd, where the woman’s body was discovered by a baker on his way to work just after 4am.
The woman was dead when paramedics arrived at the scene. The laneway is located near suspected mafia run nightclubs and businesses.
The death is being treated as a homicide with detectives together with forensics specialists remain at the scene. Police believe the woman may have been killed elsewhere and dumped in the laneway.
The woman has been described by police as Caucasian in appearance with light, shoulder length hair.
Local paper shop owner Annie Clamshell, was shocked to find the police in attendance as she arrived for work at the business.
“I was shocked when I arrived at work this morning with all of the police and paramedics” she told reporters. “My boss isn’t going to like it if I can’t open the store”.
Eliot Ness later advised the press that the body of the woman had been identified by Chicago Police as Ms Chase, an undercover police officer posing as a local hotelier. Mr Ness added that she was a dedicated officer who worked tirelessly under the guise of a hotelier attempting to infiltrate illegal mafia activities.
“She has suffered severe facial injuries, and perished from several close range gunshot wounds to the torso” he added.
“Itโs a real possibility that she was beaten and killed elsewhere before being brought to this location so weโre appealing to the public and any witnesses in this area to call Chicago Police with any information on any automobiles that might have been heard,” he said.
“Weโd also appeal to anyone who has been out walking and has seen anything suspicious.” Mr Ness added.
This recent slaying has taken the death toll to 5 suspected mafia hits in the space of a week. Chicago police officers are on edge as one of their own perishes at the hands of cold blooded killers.


However, the joy of finally making a breakthrough in the case has been overshadowed.
The same man, returned with his dogs in the misty morning and noticed a pair of pants folded on the same spot the man was cleaning himself.
Upon discovery, Mr Ricca, made a run for it down the street and into a local hotel where he took hostages.
After the recent slayings at the hand of suspected mobsters, the citizens of Chicago are turning on themselves at a rapid rate with accusations of underground involvement and witness accounts being muddied by misinformation and fear.
“Having conformed to the group, it will be an extreme struggle to do anything aside from what the group desires”, Doctor Talon added.
According to initial reports, the man is known to police, and investigators suspect he may have been murdered in relation to recent allegations of bribery and strong arm tactics by questionable members of the community.
“Ms Nicole was not on our watch list of suspected associates with the crime syndicate, nor the wanted man Joseph Guzik. Whilst having a striking resemblance to one of the known associates of the mobsters, she was but a mere innocent villager again caught up in the fear and panic of a city under siege by organised crime. ” Mr Ness announced.
