On Thursday, Sept. 29 at about 8:15 a.m., an unsuspecting employee of White Pines Golf Course in Bensenville arrived at work to find the body of a deceased woman at the entrance to the club.
Following an investigation and an autopsy, police discovered that the woman was about 37 years old and had apparently expired from a knife wound to her back. Earlier that morning, Cook County Sheriff officials were alerted to a possible homicide on the 11500 block of Grand Avenue in Cook County. Police later determined the two incidents were believed to be connected.
After further investigation, authorities arrested and charged Johnathan Condrey, 44, with first-degree murder after confirming the woman, who has not yet been identified, was his girlfriend and had allegedly died at his hand. Condrey and the woman lived together at her home on the above-mentioned location on Grand Avenue in unincorporated Cook County. About 5 a.m., the two had reportedly had an argument during which he allegedly stabbed her with a knife in her back.
Reports indicate that Condrey took the woman’s body to the golf course and left it there. Condrey was scheduled for a bond hearing on Saturday, the results of which were unknown at press time.
