What happened? Police investigation starting to move....a witness may be talking

Mt. Greenwood mom run over by a car and is dead. Police are investigating the unusual circumstances.

Mary Jo Tsokolas, 41, mother of two. Beverly Review story 

Indeed the Beverly Review story makes me ask the following. Why was she outside at 11 pm? Why was she trying to grab a door handle? Who was driving the vehicle? Who else was there? What do the neighbors have to say? These are the questions that come to mind right away. Her family, co-workers and neighbors deserve answers.

Surrounded by loved ones at Advocate Christ Medical Center, Mary Jo Hermes Tsokolas, 41, of Chicago, went home to her Heavenly Father Monday, September 7, 2020.

    Yes, I agree! There seems to be more to this "accident." It should be fully investigated by the police. Mary Jo was a wonderful person. She deserves that!
