Connie R. Chaney (nee Krauser), 26, of Des Plaines, loving mother of Max Chaney; beloved daughter of John and the late Cynthia (nee Sundgaard) Krauser; dear sister of Thomas (Sarah), Jane Krauser, and Christine (Al) Muesetti; dear granddaughter of Edward and Helen Krauser and Jennie Sundgaard . . . Connie Chaney, who had obtained a court order of protection, was fatally shot as she fled down a second-floor hallway of the Mt. Prospect advertising agency where she worked. She was trying to escape her attacker, Wayne Chaney. Chaney, 30, was facing armed violence, home invasion, residential burglary and aggravated criminal sexual assault, but out on bond. The charges stem from a July 30, 1991 incident in which Chaney forced his way in to his estranged wife’s home. Armed with a handgun he struck Connie knocking her down, and at gunpoint raped her. Cook County Circuit Judge Sheila O’Brien reduced the $250,000 bond enough for Chaney to pay his bond and be released from jail. For years, Connie had told police and counselors at a battered women’s center that her husband had beaten, raped, and threatened to kill her. After he killed her, he fled to Iowa. He came back and ten days after killing Connie was killed in a gun fight with police in the vestibule of an apartment building in Palatine.
