Lost in space? Where are they?

Example, prisoner transportation

Where is William J. Ross? Where is Michael J. Romano?

Ross and Romano are supposedly on their way to the McHenry County Jail from Las Vegas, where custody of them was transferred on or about February 3 on Extradition Orders.

Romano waived extradition. That was the easy one.

Ross refused to waive extradition after he was arrested as a person wanted by the McHenry County Sheriff's Department. He entered the Clark County (Nev.) Correctional Facility, Las Vegas, on about November 7.

On January 22 a court in Las Vegas ordered his extradition to Illinois, after Governors' warrants in Illinois and Nevada were recognized and approved.

Let's take a close look at the legal process here. Ross is presumed innocent until found guilty. He sat in jail in Las Vegas from November 7 until January 22, because he refused extradition. What caused the delay from January 22 until now? Why didn't the McHenry County authorities pick him up on, or shortly after, January 22? What caused the delay (from January 22 to February 3) in getting him started this way

Are vans used only on short trips?

Are Ross and Romano being transported by bus or van from Las Vegas to McHenry County? It's 1,730 miles from there to here. What does prisoner transportation cost? Would $1,00/mile be unreasonable?

For $1,700, couldn't two deputies have gone to get them and gotten them back here by now?

Doesn't the Sheriff's Dept. or the State's Attorney Office have some obligation to get them back here as quickly as possible? Ross has been in custody for over three months? He has been charged with Concealment of a Homicidal Death. Will there be more charges, once he is back in Illinois? Will he be eligible for bond? Will he bail himself out, as soon as bond is set?

Remember when Mick Combs, McHenry County Assistant State's Attorney, said that it was only a matter to proving that the William Ross in custody in Las Vegas was the same William Ross who was wanted in McHenry County?
