BREAKING: A Tinley Park man has been charged in the murder of his 17-year-old daughter whose body was found Sunday in their suburban home.
Police said they found Almaru near his daughter's body with self-inflicted wounds to his wrists and throat. Officers said the teen’s father had ingested pills in an attempt to take his own life and was taken to Christ Hospital where he was stabilized. There, police said doctors confirmed Almaru had multiple narcotics in his system.Almaru was intubated at the hospital and police said officers could not question him until late Monday afternoon.
Knowing she hadn't gone to prom, one of Maro's aunts texted her on Saturday to check in, but didn't hear back. Neighbor Andrew Brecia said on Sunday he saw and heard commotion coming from Maro’s older brother that alerted him something was wrong. "I was actually just here on Thursday visiting my sister, and me and Mia were sitting on the couch together," said Jennings. "And Mia was talking about her future and what she wanted to do when she graduated from Andrew.""She made a huge impact on everybody’s life that she knew," said Gianna Jaroch, Maro’s cousin.According to relatives, Maro also helped care for her mother who suffered a brain injury in 2019, is mainly non-verbal, and relies on 24-hour care.
