  1. The real tragedy here is they weren’t named Shepley and Mayerhofer.

  2. Cindy – I’m assuming his clothing etc are in an evidence bag.

  3. Due to the high taxes in McHenry County he cannot afford clothing.

    Count your blessings.

  4. Shall I be the one to remind Frank Saravis that Aaron Shepley is an attorney licensed to practice in the state of Illinois, and wishing, in an internet post, that Aaron was one of the victims, may result in Aaron’s own attorney shoving his arm so far up Frank Saravis’ ass, he’ll operate Frank’s mouth like a puppet.

    Hey, everybody- Look at Frank Saravis. He has an attorney’s arm so far up his ass, the attorney is operating Frank’s mouth like a puppet.

    Say something funny, Frank!
