Elmhurst Mom Wakes Up to Gory Snowman Scene: Police

After heavy snow last weekend, one suburban family woke up to find an unexpected sight steps away from their door this Monday.

Sometime between 11 p.m. Dec. 4 and 7:40 a.m. the next morning, when the mother of the family left the house, she found that someone had built a snowman outside of her front door.
