DES PLAINES, IL More than 21 years after the fatal stabbing of a United Airlines flight attendant in her Des Plaines apartment, the man accused of killing her appeared in court Thursday for the first time since he was extradited from Mexico.
Young Kavila, 30, was found by her roommate lying dead on the floor of her kitchen on Nov. 30, 1999. She had been repeatedly stabbed and beaten after a struggle, drawing blood from her attacker, authorities said.
Within 12 hours, prosecutors said her killer had hopped on a bus to Mexico with a large, untreated gash across his chest, arriving about two days later.

ILLINOIS Demand for firearms permits and interest in purchasing guns are higher than they have ever been, Illinois State Police said this week.
In 1968, a law was passed that requires state residents who wish to legally have or buy ammunition in Illinois to acquire a Firearms Owners Identification card, or FOID. Since that time, the Illinois State Police Firearms Services Bureau (FSB) has been tasked with administering FOID cards, concealed carry licenses, the Firearms Transfer Inquiry Program (FTIPS), gun dealer licensing, appeals, background correlations, investigative support, enforcement and customer service for the firearms safety laws of Illinois.
