@Suntimes "...Spain & Gracia had acted at the direction of Lt. Denis P. Walsh, who showed up at the couple’s home...immediately decided Markham shot himself, ordered other officers to dump the bloody mattress on which Markham’s body was found & never tried to verify the wife’s story."

"But Walsh can’t be disciplined because he retired in Feb. 2016 when the police dept moved to fire him for falsifying evidence to help keep former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s nephew Richard J. “R.J.” Vanecko from being charged w/ killing David Koschman in 2004."

@zipillinois "Walsh also had once been charged with criminal sexual conduct in Michigan while with the police department but pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors. While fighting that case, he was promoted to lieutenant. He now collects a yearly $99,111 police pension."
