Illinois DCFS worker Deidre Silas was stabbed to death during a home visit in a town south of Springfield, authorities said.
THAYER, Ill. -- An Illinois child welfare worker was stabbed to death during a home visit in a town south of Springfield, authorities said.
Authorities arrived at the scene just before 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and found what appeared to be blood near the door. They forced their way into the house and found the victim dead inside. Police obtained a search warrant and collected evidence that helped them find Reed at a Decatur hospital around 6:30 p.m., authorities said.
"Because it is not fair that my wife died protecting someone else's children when she has her own," said her husband, Andre Silas. Six children of undisclosed ages were present at the time of the incident, Campbell said, but he was unaware if they witnessed anything. They were in protective custody on Wednesday. Campbell said he believes Reed is related to one or more of the children and that several adults were living in the home, but he did not elaborate.
