"A former Duane Morris tax partner is accused in a criminal complaint of murdering his wife in his Chicago condo building by throwing her over a railing from a 24th floor stairwell. Tax lawyer Adam P. Beckerink, 47, was named in an Oct. 27 arrest warrant issued exactly one year after the body of 36-year-old Caitlin Tracey was found at the bottom of the stairwell, report the Chicago Tribune, WGN-TV and NBC Chicago. Her foot had been severed."
"Tracey's family said in a statement the murder charge "is another big step in the path to obtain justice for Caitlin." The statement said Beckerink currently "sits in a Michigan jail" as a result of his Oct. 21 sentencing stemming from allegations of domestic abuse against Tracey at her New Buffalo, Michigan, home. He had pleaded guilty in Berrien County, Michigan, to contempt of court and no contest to domestic abuse and interfering with a 911 call by Tracey."
