The accused served 20 years for kidnapping and robbing an attorney in 1999-2000. I can’t help but wonder if there is more to this.
Still, WTF is a young woman doing jogging at 4AM?

I used to run at that time. For a teacher, it was probably ideal to be able to get some miles in, clean up and then head to work. She had two children of her own in addition to teaching so probably the only time she could get out.
Actually, at another point in my life, I used to go for runs at 11:30 at night along the Chicago lakefront. Want to know who runs at midnight on the lakefront - women!
Actually, even running at normal times, the vast majority of people running on our city's lakefront are women. I bet it is 80% of the runners.

My dad was a teacher. Woke up at 3:45 AM to run. Every day, for years.

Tucker just explained that your question is part of the problem.
We have gotten used to the idea that criminals control "bad" parts of the city and good people aren't allowed to go there.
And the bad part of town has now grown to include just about every large and small city in the country.

There runners all over the country to "finished Eliza's run" - but these were the folks who actually ran the same 8 mile course as Eliza at 4:20 a.m. this morning.
