Longtime Chicago Nurse Virgie Perillo Found Beaten to Death

Longtime Chicago registered nurse Virgie Perillo found beaten to death in garage of her home, police suspect robbery as the motive in her murder.

Virgie Perillo, a longtime Chicago registered nurse, was found beaten to death in her house on 33rd and Parnell. According to NBC Chicago, Ms. Perillo, who worked at Rush University Medical for the past 40 years, was found when her supervisor found her body, after going to her home to see if anything was wrong since she could not contact her. Her face was smashed with what police believes was either a metal pipe or a baseball bat. Investigators believe robbery was the motive, since her cell phone and some garden tools were missing from the garage.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Virgie Perillo. We would urge anyone to contact the police if they saw anything suspicious in and around her home on the night of this unspeakable act of violence.
