how Richard R. Young died?
Police said the victim’s family has been notified and the investigation into his death remains active.

Authorities had initially charged Oglesby with first-degree murder, but WQAD and KWQC reported that the murder charge and other charges were dropped during a motion hearing on March 16. WGIL reports that the charges were dropped because a judge found that Oglesby’s right to a speedy trial had been violated. Oglesby is now charged with one count of concealing a death, two counts of forgery and two counts of possession of a firearm without the required firearm owner’s identification card.
In an email to KWQC, Knox County State’s Attorney Jeremy Karlin said: “This office respectfully disagrees with Judge Doyle’s interpretation of Illinois law and his decision. We intend to file an immediate appeal of his Judgment before the Court of Appeals for the Fourth District in Springfield”. PEOPLE has contacted the Illinois courts to confirm her current charges.
Danny Thomas, the former mayor of Maquon, told WQAD that Young “would do anything for anybody.” “He was always there,” Thomas said. “I mean, it didn’t matter what time of day or night, if something was going on, he was there.” Anyone with information that may assist in the investigation is asked to contact the Knox County Sheriff’s Office at 309-344-0044.Read More…..
