ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) — A suburban Chicago man has been charged with murder and kidnapping in connection with the death of a 10-year-old girl in Rockford. Police say the girl was reported missing shortly after noon Saturday after her 6-year-old sister told their mother that a man had taken the two girls while they were outside playing. The younger girl was able to get away. Officers found the older girl unresponsive about 12:40 p.m. outside a home. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her name hasn’t been released. Police say 44-year-old Antonio Monroe of Blue Island matched a description of the suspect and was arrested a short time later.
