Dear Superintendent Starks,

On August 27, 2007 a 21-year-old local woman was abducted and brutally raped in our Village. Within a few days, our department identified a suspect and received information he had fled to Chicago.

On September 4, 2007 a warrant was issued charging the suspect, Federico Odaz-Cejia with kidnapping and rape. Members of our department were in constant communication with Sergeant Elvin Boone from the Fugitive Apprehension Section of your Central Investigations Unit.

On Friday, September 8, just four days after the warrant was issued, we received word from Sergeant Boone the suspect was in custody. When the subject was arrested, he related to arresting officers that he had knowledge of the warrant but didn't care because he was intending to return to Mexico as soon as he possibly could.

I extend my sincerest gratitude to the Chicago Police Department, especially Sergeant Boone and the members of the Fugitive Apprehension unit. Through their diligent efforts, a dangerous predator has been removed from our streets.

Joseph M. Krezeminski Chief of Police
