Five years after the murder of Mr. Peter D'Agostino there is still no answer to who committed the murder of this fine young man with a family and life as a teacher at the University of Illinois.
When his wife had called us this year from New England she still has anguish over his murder and felt forced to leave Oak Park because of the haunted feelings for the neighborhood.
After all these years Oak Park refuses to install some kind of surveillance equipment either on or near the CTA trains, with or without their permission.
