A suburban Chicago man whose mother’s dismembered remains are believed to have been found in a Chicago park lagoon has been ordered held without bond.
Brian Peck of Elgin was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of concealment of a homicidal death. Police say the 55-year-old Peck told Elgin authorities on Friday that 76-year-old Gail Peck went for a walk and didn’t return.
During a hearing Tuesday, prosecutors alleged Brian Peck attempted to conceal the body in recently purchased luggage.
Citing details from prosecutors that indicated “extensive planning and premeditation,” Cook County Judge Steven J. Goebel said Peck posed an “extreme real and present threat.”
