Murdered Tuesday

JOLIET, IL - A 32-year-old man from Coal City who apparently has ties to the Outlaws Motorcycle club is now charged with felony offense of concealing a homicide. Jeremy Boshears of 495 East 3rd Street, in Coal City, was in Will County police custody for about a day in connection with the cold-blooded murder of  Kathy Kearns, who lived in Mokena. The two had recently started dating, the sheriff's department revealed.

As it stands, a $250,000 bond has been set for Boshears. He will remain in police retention until he can post $25,000 cash, which is 10 percent, to bail him out of jail. The felony charge, however, is not being filed in Will County, but instead by the Kankakee County State's Attorney's Office.

"This morning, Sheriff's detectives met with the Will County State's Attorney's Office and the Kankakee County State's Attorney's Office in order to determine probable cause ... for the arrest of Boshears," the Will County Sheriff's announced Friday afternoon.
