A resident of the Grant Luxury Condos had a shocking encounter when they discovered what appeared to be a severed human foot at the bottom of the stairwell on the second floor. Initially mistaken for a Halloween prank, the gruesome find was all too real.
The startled resident alerted the building’s doorman, who promptly contacted emergency services after locating the remainder of a woman’s body three floors above. Authorities quickly arrived on the scene, concluding that the woman had fallen from a height of at least 20 stories.
The victim was soon identified as Caitlin Tracey. Following this revelation, police arrested her husband, Adam Beckerink. Beckerink had reported Caitlin as missing just a day before her body was discovered in their building.
Contradicting his claim of not having seen Caitlin for months, surveillance footage revealed the couple together at the Grant just three days before the tragedy occurred.
Despite the suspicious circumstances, the Chicago Police had insufficient evidence to charge Beckerink with a crime, leading to his release after 48 hours in custody.
The medical examiner finds Caitlin’s body “pulverized,” suffering multiple injuries while falling 24 floors. The report notes multiple skull fractures, a deep gaping laceration on the back of her head exposing cranial content, cuts and bruises to her face and neck, a badly broken nose, sliced internal organs, and a severed foot.
Caitlyn also suffered an 11-inch laceration on her torso, and the coroner made note of a 12-by-10-inch area of intense black and brown abrasions on her back.
Raising even more questions, cocaine and an erectile dysfunction drug, tadalafil, are found in Caitlin’s system.
