When Katherine “Kat” Torbick's co-workers can’t reach the registered nurse, they call police. Schaumburg police force entry into Katherine’s home, and find her lying on the couch, dead,
with clear signs of trauma. In the garage, investigators find Katherine’s ex-boyfriend, Kevin
Motykie tying a noose. Motykie, 56, is unsteady and slurs his words while admitting he took
lorazepam and hydrocodone. As Motykie is placed in handcuffs, officers discover a recording
device in his pocket with a 7-hour tape between the hours of 2:00 and 9:00 a.m. that morning.
 
The seven-hour audio recording captures Motykie interrogating Katherine about infidelity, hitting her, and sex assaulting her while she begs him to stop.  In the final four minutes of audio Motykie is heard strangling Katherine, repeatedly telling her to "think of somewhere happy." 

Motykie has a history of domestic violence allegations in three prior orders of protection. In
fact, Motykie attacks Katherine just weeks prior to her murder. Motykie allegedly chokes
Katherine, tries to gauge her eyes out, and threatens her at knifepoint. Katherine manages to
escape to a neighbor’s home and call 911. Investigators document her injuries, and in a
videotaped statement, Katherine says she’s afraid Motykie will eventually kill her. Police issue
a warrant for Motykie’s arrest, but are unable to locate him.

Kevin Motykie is now behind bars, charged with first-degree murder and three counts of aggravated sex assault.  He's scheduled to appear in court again May 29th.

Nolans Wells Autopsy Furor as FBI Swoops in

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4ce299e2-cc99-47ed-aee8-b48f00caee46/transcript

Olivia Mae Marie Smith, 12,  died not far from her home, in an incident that has left her family and investigators with unanswered questions. 

According to initial reports, Olivia was at a friend’s house  when a 911 call came in around 9:21 p.m. At first, the claim was she had run face‑first into a tree and was unconscious.  Then ring camera footage from the friend’s porch showed her sitting outside.  She walked toward some trees before the call was made.  Fourteen minutes later, an ambulance arrived to rush Olivia to the hospital.  She did not survive. 

Olivia's family says they do not believe the girl  “ran into a tree.”  Olivia reportedly had a heart condition, but it is unclear whether that played a role in her death. Some accounts have said the girl was being chase by others in the neighborhood.

Officials have not announced a final cause or manner of death.
