Chicago Police are set to announce a major step forward in the investigation into the hit-and-run accident that killed a 25-year-old bartender last November.
Police know the name of the man who was allegedly driving the car that struck and killed Rachel Gilliam at Lincoln and Cullom last November as she was leaving work at Bowman’s Bar and Grill.
But police do not have that suspect in custody – and they are asking for the public’s help in finding him, says Susan Carlson, the private investigator hired by Rachel Gilliam’s family and friends.
“They’ve had a person of interest for some time, but they had to wait for final results from the crime lab to make sure that evidence left at the scene matched the vehicle that they suspected.
That’s come forward and they’re going forward with stating who their suspect is = and hoping to apprehend him.”
Carlson says the car is a silver Accura, which she says was impounded by police some time ago.
