The man responsible for the 2004 murder of 3-year-old Riley Fox has died in prison.
Scott Eby, 52, confessed to Riley’s murder six years after the child’s body was found at a Will County Forest Preserve site in Wilmington.
In June of 2004, Eby walked into the Fox home in Northcrest during overnight hours through an open back door, looking to burglarize the home, when he abducted the sleeping Riley from the family room sofa.
