The caller reported finding the two people about 100 yards from each other, with a license plate lying on the ground next to one of the victims. 

Police would later find the jeep abandoned, with no sign of the driver. They did not say where the jeep was found.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office has yet to release the names of the two victims, but does indicate the men may be 30 and 39 years of age. The 30-year-old was listed as having a Plainfield address.
