Police say woman crashed stolen car

Two accidents with a car police say was stolen have a woman from Marseilles facing charges and being treated for injuries.
It started with a call about a hit and run accident in Ransom. Soon Sheriff’s deputies and fire and ambulance were out near La Salle Lake overnight Saturday for a woman that got into an accident. They think the car she was driving was stolen from rural Streator.
Danielle Dille was taken to Morris Hospital; from there she was taken to St. Francis Medical Center. Her condition is unknown.
She faces charges of theft of a motor vehicle, DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.

Two years since couple’s death and still no trial

Stays in the county jail usually last a year at the most but a man from Seneca is going on two years at Etna Road.
Saturday is the two-year anniversary of investigators finding Al and Catherine Twardowski dead in their rural Seneca home. Keith Mackowiak was charged with the murders, but still hasn’t been tried for the crime.
Mackowiak has played a role in delaying things by wanting to fire his attorneys on different occasions. Another big delay has been a host of doctors examining Mackowiak’s mental state.
La Salle County State’s Attorney Brian Towne says a capital litigation fund in Illinois gives lawyers a chance to have examination after examination, slowing things down.
Towne says the case has been a heavy burden but it needs to be done right for the Twardowski family.
