An Illinois man is accused of concealing the deaths of both his mother and sister after authorities discovered their bodies buried in the backyard of their home.
Michael Lelko — of Lyons has been arrested on felony charges.
Lyons Police Chief Thomas Herion said Lelko would be charged with two felony counts of concealment of a death. He also said a federal investigation is ongoing and could lead to federal charges for his alleged cashing of his mother’s monthly $1,000 Social Security checks for years following her death.
The police chief also said Lelko, 45, has not been charged in the deaths of his mother, Jean Lelko, 79, or his 44-year-old Jennifer Lelko because the medical examiner could not identify how they died.
