Leslie pointed me to this story today from our local area ....
Chicago tribune, lead story about Christopher Vaughn, arrested for the
deaths of his wife and children somewhere around Channahon:

*****************************
Christopher Vaughn-the Oswego man charged with the fatal roadside
shootings of his wife and three children in rural Will County-prepared
Monday to battle his forced return from Missouri to face trial in
Illinois. Meanwhile, officials in both states took extraordinary steps
to quicken what is usually a routine but time-consuming process.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed a warrant seeking the extradition of Vaughn,
32, about 2 p.m. Monday, Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow said.
Illinois State Police then flew the document to Jefferson City, Mo., for
the approval of Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt, who signed the papers at 5:20
p.m.
The St. Charles County sheriff's office received the papers Monday
night.
Glasgow said extradition requests typically are sent by mail or, in more
significant cases, by overnight express. And it usually takes governors
days, if not weeks, to sign off on them before they are sent, he added.
...
*************************
Talk about wanting somebody back fast! A legal process that normally
takes a few days was reduced to about 3 hours.....
Of course, Vaughn has appealed and a judge has granted him until July 25th to review the extradition order, so all the fast flying was for naught...
