World reknowned Illinois community college political science professor and author found dead in a double murder suicide


Two boys and their father were found dead in their bedrooms from gunshot wounds Saturday morning in what authorities are investigating as a murder-suicide about three miles south of Cherry Valley.

The home in the 4600 block of Chandan Woods Drive is owned by local professor and nationally renowned political expert P.S. Ruckman Jr. and his ex-wife Heidi Ruckman, according to property tax records filed with the Winnebago County Treasurer’s Office.

Winnebago County Coroner Bill Hintz did not confirm the identities of the three, pending notification of family; an announcement is expected Sunday.

The two-story home is located in a subdivision near the intersection of Linden and South Perryville roads. Sheriff’s deputies arrived at about 7:10 a.m. for a welfare check, and after entering with a key, found the boys and their father in different bedrooms with gunshot wounds.

The welfare check was requested by the man’s ex-wife, Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Chief Mike Schultz said at the scene.
