Ty Fahner, former Illinois Attorney General and Mayer Brown law firm chair, dies at 81
CHICAGO -- Former federal prosecutor, Illinois Attorney General, and high-profile law firm leader Ty Fahner has died. The law firm Mayer Brown announced Fahner's death on Tuesday. He was 81 years old. Tyrone C. Fahner was born in Detroit in 1942. As published in a biography from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, Fahner worked several blue-collar jobs in Southeast Michigan as a teenager.
As tips came into law enforcement, Fahner said his team sifted through '300 or 400 tips a day' and there were more than 1,000 leads. 'Every call that came in, we took a name, we logged it, put it down what their tip was and they were run down on a daily basis, distributed,' he told CBS News Chicago in a 2022 interview for the documentary 'PainKiller.' Fahner lost his bid for reelection to Democrat Neil Hartigan later that fall.
