Bobbie J. Ollom of the 8100 block of Nettle Creek Road in Seneca and Joshua T. Anderson of the 10000 block of South Peoria Street in Chicago were charged with murder, armed robbery with a firearm and robbery in connection with the death of Gregory G. Brown, 36, of Crest Hill, according to a criminal complaint. The complaint said Ollom and Anderson shot Brown while stealing money from him last week.

Police released still photos and surveillance video Friday from inside the Denny's, located at 2531 Plainfield Road, in an attempt to identify a woman, who was last seen talking to Brown. (Photo provided)

Joliet police later said they had successfully identified the woman in the video, and she was in custody. As of Monday, police had not released her name publicly. Will County Judge Domenica Osterberger set bond at $5 million apiece on an arrest warrant filed Saturday. The warrant was under seal until Monday morning. Both Ollom and Anderson were taken into custody about noon Saturday in Burlington, Iowa, according to police records.

Anderson did not appear to have any previous criminal charges in Will County. This is a developing story; check back with The Herald-News for updates.
