Overview
- Deputies on a welfare check around 2 a.m. Monday found Jacob Q. Lambert, 32, and his parents, Stacy, 54, and Patrick Forde, 55, shot dead at their Crete Township home.
- The Will County Sheriff’s Office said 30-year-old Jenna Strouble faces nine counts of first-degree murder and is jailed in Indiana awaiting extradition to Illinois.
- Police say Strouble was taken into custody in St. John after investigators alleged she made incriminating statements and a gun from her home matched the crime-scene weapon.
- Investigators report Jacob was found in a car in the driveway and his parents were just inside the front door, and autopsies were completed Tuesday with final rulings pending toxicology.
- Officials describe the case as domestic, and police told NBC Chicago that Strouble and Lambert had an on-and-off relationship and shared multiple children.
