Months after his estranged wife was found dead in the stairwell of a South Loop highrise, a Chicago man is expected to appear in Cook County court Monday after he was arrested on an outstanding warrant issued by police in Michigan.
An extradition hearing for Adam Beckerink, husband of Caitlin Tracey, is scheduled for Monday, according to a representative for Tracey’s family. Beckerink faces two pending charges of domestic violence against Tracey in Michigan.
Beckerink is not charged in Tracey’s October 2024 death.
Last year, Tracey’s parents successfully won custody of her remains after arguing in court that Beckerink, who was married to their daughter for six months, had a history of abusing her.
He had filed a motion last year to temporarily prevent Tracey’s parents from proceeding with her funeral. He argued in an affidavit he would be “irreparably harmed and deprived of the ability to direct the disposition of his wife’s remains for which he is entitled to and has priority under both Illinois and Michigan law.”
Records from the Cook County medical examiner’s office show that, as of Monday, investigators had not finalized Tracey’s cause and manner of death. A spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department said police are involved in a death investigation.
