Illinois authorities say the Will County Sheriff’s deputies who lost a $15.5 million judgment to the parents of slain 3-year-old Riley Fox will not be forced into bankruptcy.
Both sides have reportedly agreed to a deal that gives the dead girl’s parents, Kevin and Melissa Fox, the rights to the deputies’ insurance claims in exchange for excusing them from personal liability.
Riley disappeared from her Wilmington home in June 2004, and her body was found in nearby Forked Creek. Some months later, Kevin Fox was arrested and charged with his daughter’s murder, but was released after DNA found on the girl’s body was shown not to be his.
Fox and his wife sued Will County and five detectives, accusing them of framing him for the crime.
