Good morning,

Please note the Chicago Police Department no longer maintains reports from the incident identified in your email, since the retention period for reports from 1972 has expired in accordance with the Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205). Case report files from 1972 not identified as "Permanent Retention" in the CPD Forms Retention Schedule (CPD 11.717) have been disposed of under application 92:1C to the Local Records Commission of the Office of the Secretary of State. As such, please be advised that the Chicago Police Department has no responsive records for your request.

Sincerely,
