What "evidence" was found on the pond ice?

On January 8, 2012 - the day after a day in infamy in McHenry County - a reader contacted me about a Woodstock Fire Rescue District call on January 7 to a pond east of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department, and he wondered "aloud" (in writing) whether that WFRD call had anything to do with the arrest of MCSD Sgt. Greg Pyle.

Since then rumors have surfaced about one or more computers that might have taken a polar plunge, or at least parts of them.

The connection isn't clear yet, but WFRD did respond to a call from the Illinois State Police to a pond along Haydn Street in Woodstock, which is east and north of the Sheriff's Department. A WFRD firefighter went out on the ice and recovered unidentified "evidence", which he placed in a white garbage bag (while still out on the pond (ice)) and turned over to - - well, this is interesting. The report doesn't state what happened to the "evidence."

The report says the evidence was collected for police, but it neglects to state not only what the "evidence" was (for which I'm going out "on thin ice" to assume that the omission was deliberate and intentional, and possibly at the direction of law enforcement personnel) or to whom it was given. W.ill this open a door for Pyle's legal defense team to claim a break in the chain-of-evidence? Should a supplementary report be prepared and filed immediately, to forestall any chance for success of such a claim in court?

The State Police were apparently all over the place on Saturday, January 7, investigating and searching for Pyle, who was wanted on an arrest warrant on ten counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault (child under age 13), allegedly having been committed by Sgt. Pyle, formerly of Crystal Lake.

Pyle was arrested later that night (January 7) and quickly bonded out, giving a non-existent address of 2722 Haydn Lane, Woodstock, on his Bail Bond form. The same Haydn as the location of the pond.

The Illinois State Police, the State's Attorney's office or the Sheriff's Department should have picked him up for a bond violation before his January 27 court date, but they were in slow motion for the week they knew about it, and Pyle provided a correct address to the Circuit Court on the morning of January 27, before his 9:00AM scheduled appearance, escaping the wrath of the judge over the non-existent address..

Everybody should get such breaks and generous consideration. Right?
