Attorney for man charged in 1972 Chicago-area slaying of teen wants statements to investigators suppressed

Barry Whelpley, a 1964 graduate of Naperville High School, lived about a mile from the home of Julia Ann Hanson when she was killed. Hanson disappeared on July 7, 1992, and her body was found a day later with 36 stab wounds. (Associated Press)
