McHenry County Sheriff's Office is releasing information about a recent crime/crime activity near your address.
Sheriff Keith Nygren announced today that on March 5, 2010 at 1:07 P.M. dispatchers received a 911 call from the residence of 3412 E. Crystal Lake Ave, in unincorporated Crystal Lake, Illinois. Dispatchers that received the phone call heard sounds but no one communicated directly with the dispatcher. McHenry County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to a possible domestic dispute at the address of 3412 E. Crystal Lake Ave where the 911 call was placed from.
Deputies arrived on scene at 1:14 P.M. and located an elderly female subject deceased inside the rear of the residence. The deceased has been identified as Dorothy Trzcinski, 81, a resident of this address. The victim was bludgeoned and apparently stabbed with an edged weapon.
Deputies also met with her son, James Trzcinski, 51, who resides with his mother. James was subsequently taken into custody for questioning and gave a confession to Investigators in regards to the murder of his mother. No other subjects are being sought in connection with this crime.
Information learned from Sheriff’s Office Investigators is that James is currently receiving mental health services and is reportedly a diagnosed schizophrenic. The Sheriff’s Office has responded to this residence twice prior in 2007 and an order of protection was issued in 2007 against James.
The crime scene is being processed by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Investigation Division. James has been charged with 3 Counts of First Degree Murder. Bond will be set Saturday morning when James sees a Judge at bond court.
