Hammond police will hold a press conference Monday to discuss charges in the slayings of Milton and Ruby McClendon.
Two suspects, ages 17 and 19, are being held in police custody in connection with the murders of CLTV talk show host Garrard McClendon's parents, according to Hammond police Chief Brian Miller, who could not discuss charges Sunday.
The suspects, who have been in custody since Friday, were positively identified as being seen in Milton and Ruby McClendon's car, a source told the Sun-Times.
One of the teens is from Hammond, the source said, where Milton, 76, and Ruby, 74, lived.
No charges had been filed as of Saturday evening.
The couple was found shot to death Monday in a Calumet City forest preserve. Their stolen Cadillac Eldorado was later found abandoned on the Dan Ryan Expy.
