She’s a democrat according to her primary election selections.
Figures.
And can I ask how you know this?
Btw, I can’t believe you can’t find better things to do throughout your day Karen.
Any relation to former 1970-1979 McHenry County Sheriff Art Tyrrell?
No, Paul.
Something sticks here. This photo doesn’t look like Carolyn. (It doesn’t look like a 53-year-old woman either.)If you go looking for the victim his name comes up immediately as a registered offender. When does that ever happen?
**This photo doesn’t look like Carolyn.**
Oh? Do you know Carolyn?
*^(It doesn’t look like a 53-year-old woman either.)**
Huh?
I know a Carolyn Tyrell that’s around that age, from Crystal Lake and it doesn’t look like her so maybe there’s more than one.
We were thinking that too, Casey. This one is a married name.
Paul? Art’s daughter-in-law.
