Loretta Purcell, 82, was found dead October 25, 2016, in a West Town apartment in Chicago. Her death occurred after a five-hour barricade standoff with SWAT officers at a unit on the 800 block of North Wolcott Avenue. Authorities described the incident as a domestic-related murder-suicide. Purcell had been stabbed to death; her son Christopher Kelly Purcell, 58, was also found dead and authorities later treated the scene as a homicide, though initial reports said details of his death were unclear.

Does anyone have information about Loretta Purcell, her son, or that address in West Town around October 25, 2016?
