Patrick Ford, 25, of 1043 W. Grace St. [MAP/SAT], was charged with killing Dana Mangi by stabbing and strangulation at his Wrigleyville apartment in August 2007. On Thursday, he was sentenced to 35 years in prison, after pleading guilty but mentally ill to murder charges in the death of Class of 2000 Prospect High School graduate Dana Mangi, 25, of Arlington Heights. She was also a 2004 graduate of Loyola University.

Chicago police officers testified that Ford called them to the scene of the killing at 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007, and was reported to have had cut wounds himself when police arrived. Cook County Judge Charles Burns presided at the courthouse at 26th and California in Chicago, while several psychiatrists testified both for the prosecution and the defense concerning Patrick Ford’s personality and drug issues.

The motive and the nature of Ford’s relationship with Dana Mangi is unknown.

After initiating a traffic stop that turned into a vehicle pursuit, Cook County Sheriff’s deputies on northbound Hicks Road near Lake Cook Road had at least two suspects bail out of the vehicle. A foot pursuit continued in an area of woods just after 1100 p.m. Wednesday. One of the suspects, who bailed out of their vehicle, was carrying a shotgun and wearing all red. A second suspect was wearing a black hoodie and jeans. Palatine Police Department and Lake County Sheriff’s deputies immediately assisted with the pursuit. Police lost sight of the suspects and called in a police helicopter for aerial searching.

Buffalo Grove police assisted with a wide perimeter border that was located near Arlington Heights Road and Checker. Police announced three suspects in custody at about 1:15 a.m. Thursday.

The traffic stop is possibly gang related. Cook County Sheriff’s deputies were on a surveillance operation at the Country Glen apartments in unincorporated Arlington Heights. Police were on alert for a gang fight that might be initiated in the neighborhood. The vehicle pursuit headed to the Lake Cook Road and Hick Road area– where the suspects bailed out and fled on foot.

News comes fast every day. Some of it is incomplete. Some of it is wrong. Often it is not connected with past news, so the information on TV, newspapers and magazines is often conflicting and confusing. Many people just turn off the news. The negativity is too much. Too many questions and not enough answers. Overly stressed, these people are wise enough to focus on affirmations and hope, but they miss opportunities and cautions. The Cardinal goal is to process news -- to inform and encourage connection of information, adaptation to news, and ultimately affirmation and the pursuit of excellence in human effort: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
