Antioch Police Investigate Suspicious Death; Seek Man for Questioning

Antioch police are looking for 54-year-old Billy Varner, who they say may be involved in two deaths that are being considered suspicious that occurred in the 1200 block of Main Street in Antioch, according to the Daily Herald.

Officials say Varner, a white male, "was last seen driving a 2002 tan Chevy extended conversion van with the registration N943872," according to the article. Varner was seen in the area of the apartment hours before the bodies were found, according to the Daily Herald. 

NBC Chicago 7 is reporting two bodies — an elderly woman and her son — were taken from the apartment around 5 p.m. Monday. 

Police are telling people not to approach Varner if he is spotted and to call 911, according to WGN-TV.
