Illinois man Adam Beckerink has been formally charged with first-degree murder of his late wife, Cailtin Tracey, after she died in October 2024. On Tuesday, January 13, Chicago police announced the official charges against Beckerink, 47, more than one year after Tracey was found dead at the bottom of a stairwell in Beckerink's South Loop condo building. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office has since confirmed that Tracey's death was caused by injuries sustained from a fall from an undetermined height.
