An elderly mother and her son were found dead from blunt force trauma Monday evening in a home that may have been broken into in DeKalb County.

Officers responded at 5:56 p.m. to a call for a death investigation at a home in the 16000 block of Old State Road in Sycamore, according to the DeKalb County sheriff’s office.

Inside the home, 85-year-old Patricia A. Wilson and her 64-year-old son, Robert J. Wilson, were found dead, police said. Autopsies determined both died of injuries due to blunt force trauma.

Police said it appears there was forced entry into the home.

Taken from the home was a white, 2010 four-door Chevrolet Impala with an Illinois license plate of 903 0980, police said.

“The DeKalb County Major Case Squad, consisting of over 20 investigators, continues with the intensive investigation into this terrible crime and is following up on multiple leads at this time,” according to the statement.

Investigators said they have no comment on a possible motive.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the DeKalb County sheriff’s office at (815) 895-2155 or Crime Stoppers at (815) 895-3272.

Sycamore is about 20 miles west of Elgin.
