Latest DUI charge upgraded against man who killed family in 1999

WOODSTOCK – Charges have been upgraded against a parolee who served more than a decade in jail for a drunken crash that left a woman and her three children dead in August 1999.

Walter J. Depner, 61, now faces felony counts of aggravated driving under the influence and driving with a revoked license after being arrested Sunday night near Lakemoor.

Members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched for a well-being check Sunday for a person who reportedly drove off the road in the area of 905 W. Rand Road/Route 120 near Lakemoor.
