How they died
Suicide
Thomas Yohe reportedly stabbed himself to death during a police chase. Yohe, on parole for the 1985 murder of Susan Wainio, fled when officers stopped him for a traffic violation. A check of the license number indicated police were seeking the car's owner, Martha A. McLees, 44, Yohe's wife of one month. McLees' parents had reported her missing the previous week. After the chase, police said they found a knife and a length of tubing arranged in a manner indicating he'd tried to connect it to the exhaust pipe. McLees' remains were found in the Cook County Forest Preserve in April 2005.
