"At 7:52 (a.m., Gliniewicz) gets there, he sees the three subjects. At 7:55, he calls for additional police. At 8:01 the officers arrived. At 8:09, they discovered him," said Lake County Major Crime Task Force commander George Filenko.
Gliniewicz was found about 50 yards from his squad car in a wooded and swampy area, Filenko told reporters outside the Fox Lake Police Department, where blue and black bunting had been hung. Filenko said Gliniewicz was not dispatched to the area but "self-responded."
The report of two white males and one black male was provided by Gliniewicz to dispatchers when he spotted and responded to suspicous activity, Filenko said.
Filenko reported no major developments in the manhunt, but he did say that police "are following up leads. We have a lot of social media leads."
While the 400-officer grid search with six aircraft and nearly 50 canine units was suspended at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, 100 investigators are now focused on community saturation patrols, Filenko said.
"We're moving out into the subdivisions today," said Filenko, who would not comment when asked whether police had found any witnesses.
"Additionally, (the patrols are) to advise the residents of Fox Lake that law enforcement is here to support them," Lake County sheriff's Detective Christopher Covelli added. "We're here to keep the community safe, and we're here to stay. We're going to go hand in hand with the residents of Fox Lake to ensure their security during this time.
"When an incident like this happens, it victimizes not just the police department but the whole community, too. We are here for them."
Officers on Wednesday also were studying video taken from the area, but "we don't have anything we found on that video just yet," Filenko said.

I’m really sorry, but I have no info about cell tower stuff.
They knew everything about the suspects in that event, complete with their images, profiles, contacts, etc.
Thanks Red.
Ends up that he did lie.
Ends up nothing like that - the cop lied.
I wonder if he never meant to kill himself and only wanted to retire a hero somehow? Anyway the family can forget about that pension and insurance money now.
