Kaitlyn Kearns, 24, of Mokena, Illinois, was found murdered on November 16, 2017, in a rural area near St. Anne. She was last seen at about 1:30 a.m. on November 13, 2017, after finishing a bartending shift at Woody’s Bar in Joliet and did not make it home or report for her other job the next morning. Her body was recovered inside her 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee; she had died of a single gunshot wound to the head.

The vehicle was located in a locked pole barn on a residential property about 50 miles from the bar, and Facebook records from her mobile device provided latitude and longitude that helped lead investigators to that location. The probe focused on the Joliet Outlaws Motorcycle Club, about a mile from Woody’s Bar; deputies executed a search warrant there on November 16, 2017. Jeremy Boshears, a 36-year-old member of the Joliet Outlaws, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and concealing a homicide and has been held in the Will County Jail since November 18, 2017. Prosecutors sought to authenticate the Facebook records used in the investigation.

Who knew Kaitlyn or was in the area that night and can help fill gaps in her movements after leaving the bar?
