ROCHELLE — This week past week has been a difficult one for many members of the Rochelle community.
Early Monday morning, Romeoville Police responded to a call that would leave many here grieving the loss of a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend.
Police found Jennifer Underhill’s body in a grassy area near a warehouse parking lot when they investigated a reported damaged semi trailer cab parked in the lot.
On Wednesday, police took three people into custody in connection with Underhill’s death — George Hooper, Rose Parker and Amanda Weck.
Hooper is being charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He is also being charged with two counts of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and being an armed habitual criminal. Parker is being charged with two counts of obstructing justice and Weck is being charged with reckless discharge of a firearm.
All three suspects reside at the same Plainfield address.
According to autopsy reports, Underhill’s cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma injuries.
On Friday, family and friends celebrated her life when they laid her to rest.
