This September marks the two-year anniversary of the shooting death of an Orland Park mother and teacher. Her husband, Allan Kustok, has remained in custody ever since.
Pretrial investigations into the shooting death of Anita "Jeanie" Kustok have formally shifted from prosecution to defense. After 20 months, police and prosecutors completed their first-degree murder case against Allan Kustok, whom they allege put a .357 Magnum to his wife’s head and pulled the trigger on Sept. 29, 2010, inside his Orland Park home. Defense attorney Rick Beuke contends that his client awoke that morning to a gunshot, but he is under a self-imposed gag order not to discuss his investigation in detail. In November 2011, at the urging of both parties, Cook County Judge John J. Hynes sealed case files from public view. The defense may rely on conflicting scientific testimony at trial. Prosecutors have acknowledged forensic …

Vandalism and repeated false fire alarm pulls led to an increased presence of Orland Park police officers at Carl Sandburg High School, and canceling of a senior activity.
A 16-year-old Carl Sandburg High School student is accused of pulling one of four false fire alarms at the school on May 11, while school officials and officers are looking for those responsible for the other three pulled at different areas of the school. With the school year drawing to a close, what are thought to be senior pranks also included spray painting the football press box and a baseball dugout with profanities, food fights within the school and other acts. Around midnight Tuesday, between seven and 10 people were seen running toward the football field from the school when officers found the spray paint, according to Orland Park Police Commander John Keating. “I hate to classify it as a senior prank, because in my words it’s …
