Woman found dead in Mokena condo

Mokena police are investigating the death of an elderly woman tonight and are interviewing her daughter as a suspect, police said.

The woman’s daughter came to the police station at 1:45 p.m. Monday and reported the death, which an initial investigation determined to be a possible homicide, Cmdr. Chris Surdel said.

He said police plan to execute a search warrant tonight at the elderly woman’s condominium in the 19500 block of 116th Avenue.

Surdel said the woman’s daughter was still speaking with detectives at the Frankfort Police Department this evening. Mokena officers and the Will County coroner’s office have been at the house since 1:45 p.m.

The woman’s daughter lives in Mokena but not with her mother, Surdel said.
