Joe Glenowitz's Staged Suicide

The investigation into the death of Fox Lake Police Lieutenant Joe Glenowitz reveals that his death was not a murder but a staged suicide. Glenowitz had been embezzling funds from the Explorer program, and when the new village administrator, Ann Marin, requested an inventory of the program's assets, Glenowitz feared exposure. He staged a crime scene, shot himself in a non-fatal manner, and planted evidence to make it appear as though he was chasing suspicious individuals before being fatally shot. The investigation uncovered his misuse of funds and fraudulent activities.
