Forty-six year old Carrie Gil, formerly of Crystal Lake, was found
guilty, of the offenses of Attempted First Degree Murder, Aggravated Arson and
Residential Arson. This was the verdict of a McHenry County Jury following
three hours of deliberation.
The case was investigated by the Crystal Lake Police and Fire Departments
with assistance from the State Fire Marshal’s Office and United States
Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Also the Illinois State Police provided
experts to explain the use of an accelerant to start the fire and to associate
paint from inside the residence to graffiti on the grange and screen doors
outside the house.
The investigation also revealed multiple death spells within the defendant’s
laptop computer which matched verbatim with handwritten notes linked to the
defendant by a forensic document examiner from the Illinois State Police.
The case was prosecuted by David Johnston and Sharyl Eisenstein of the
McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office
