   Trenton Cornell-Duranleau showed promise as a young hairstylist   
   in Michigan, but struggled to hold a steady job. The 26-year-old   
   was funny and personable and always seemed to find a home   
   wherever he landed, friends said, even when he moved to Chicago.   
      
   Wyndham Lathem, 42, is known as a well-published researcher of   
   infectious diseases at Northwestern University. An extremely   
   private man, he nevertheless had a busy public life as an   
   esteemed academic, invited to speak at conferences across the   
   country.   
      
   Andrew Warren, 56, a reserved employee at Oxford University in   
   England, lived quietly with his sister and his boyfriend.   
      
   Still grieving the death of his father eight months ago, Warren   
   suddenly flew to Chicago on July 24, his first trip to the   
   United States.   
      
   Three days later, the lives of all three men converged in a   
   bloody scene in a Near North Side high-rise, authorities said.   
      
   Acting on an anonymous call, police found Cornell-Duranleau   
   stabbed to death in an apartment belonging to Lathem, who   
   apparently disappeared with Warren. Both Lathem and Warren were   
   caught on surveillance video at the building, police said.   
      
   Adding to the mystery surrounding the slaying, investigators   
   believe the two made a $1,000 donation in Cornell-Duranleau's   
   name at a library in Lake Geneva, Wis., shortly after the   
   attack. Police aren't sure why.   
      
   The gruesome attack has set off an intense nationwide search for   
   the men and drawn international interest.   
      
   Late Thursday, chief Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi   
   said police have an idea where the two may have fled and don’t   
   believe they have left the country. The U.S. State Department   
   has flagged their passports and travel documents, and the U.S.   
   Marshals Service has joined the manhunt.   
      
   “Our search efforts have intensified,” Guglielmi said. “At this   
   point, they can turn themselves in to any police department in   
   the U.S. or their attorneys can contact (Chicago police). We are   
   stressing that we want a peaceful and safe surrender.”   
      
   Authorities have so far offered little information about what   
   may have led to the attack. Lathem and Cornell-Duranleau were   
   involved in some sort of relationship and had “some type of   
   falling out,” Guglielmi said. He could not elaborate on the   
   relationship and could not say how Warren knew Lathem and   
   Cornell-Duranleau.   
      
   A broken blade and blood everywhere   
      
   Police believe Cornell-Duranleau was killed around 5 a.m. July   
   27, but officers were not alerted until someone called the front   
   desk of the building around 8:30 p.m., more than 15 hours later.   
      
   “There may have been a crime committed in Room 1004,” the male   
   voice said, according to law enforcement sources. “You need to   
   check it out.”   
      
   The caller hung up.   
      
   The building’s chief engineer rang the room and got no answer.   
   Then he dialed 911.   
      
   Officers responded and, after knocking, entered the apartment   
   with a master key. They saw blood on the bedroom door, opened it   
   and found Cornell-Duranleau lying face down, dead from stab   
   wounds to his back, the report said.   
      
   In the kitchen, police found a knife with a broken blade in the   
   trash can and another knife near the sink. Blood was everywhere,   
   the sources said.   
      
   Police could not locate Lathem. Four days later, a judge issued   
   arrest warrants for him and Warren, charging each with first-   
   degree murder. A police alert said the two were last seen in a   
   gray 2007 Hyundai. “Both subjects are to be considered armed and   
   extremely dangerous,” the alert warned.   
      
   The killing has stunned those who know the victim and suspects,   
   and it's left them wondering what brought them together.   
      
   Cornell-Duranleau’s mother said her son’s family in Michigan   
   doesn’t know the suspects.   
      
   “Our family is deeply saddened by the death of our son,”   
   Charlotte Cornell said in a statement Thursday. “It is our hope   
   that the person or persons responsible for his death are brought   
   to justice.”   
      
   ‘Energetic and young and talented’   
      
   Cornell-Duranleau was around 6 when his biological mother died.   
   He was adopted by a friend of his mother and grew up in the   
   small town of Lennon in eastern Michigan. He attended high   
   school in Grand Rapids and earned a state certification in   
   cosmetology in 2011.   
      
   He landed his first job about two years later at Timber’s Salon   
   in Trenton, Mich., a little more than 100 miles southeast of his   
   hometown. A mutual friend helped arrange the opportunity, said   
   Timber Baun-Crooks, who owns the business.   
      
   “He was a great guy. He was energetic and young and talented,”   
   she said. “He was an excellent hair dresser — very creative —   
   but he wasn’t from the area and he didn’t build a clientele as   
   fast as he would have liked.”   
      
   Cornell-Duranleau bounced from job to job at about six salons   
   after that, Baun-Crooks said.   
      
   Other friends from Michigan remember Cornell-Duranleau as funny,   
   curious and a lover of video games and animated flicks.   
      
   He sometimes relied on friends for a place to stay, the friends   
   said. He took college classes to become a veterinary technician   
   but found the workload too demanding and dropped out, said one   
   friend who hosted him.   
      
   “He doesn’t put down roots very deeply. I used to tell him he   
   was a nomad,” said the friend, who spoke on condition of   
   anonymity. “The last time I ever talked to him was early March   
   of 2016. He said he was coming to Chicago for a job offer at a   
   salon.”   
      
   It’s not clear where Cornell-Duranleau worked in Chicago. He had   
   lived in the 2200 block of South Wood Street in the Heart of   
   Chicago neighborhood on the Near Southwest Side, according to   
   the Cook County medical examiner’s office.   
      
   In an obituary posted by his mother, Mischelle Duranleau said   
   her son “loved music and animals. His enthusiasm for life was   
   infectious. Trenton was a caregiver and loved to help others.   
   His youthful free-spirit fueled his love of cars, video games   
   and cartoons.”   
      
   ‘A model scientist’   
      
   At 42, Wyndham Lathem was known as a driven scientist whose work   
   on the plague known as the Black Death made national headlines   
   in 2015.   
      
   He joined Northwestern in 2007 and worked primarily in a   
   research lab within the Department of Microbiology-Immunology at   
   the Feinberg School of Medicine. “At some point in the past few   
   years he taught medical students or graduate students,” said   
   school spokesman Alan K. Cubbage.   
      
   Lathem was an undergraduate at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie,   
   N.Y., from 1992 to 1996. Adam McDaniel didn’t share any classes   
   with him, but the campus was small and they would run into each   
   other at social gatherings, discussing movies or music.   
      
   “He was a very kind, warmhearted, funny guy. Everybody loved   
   him. He struck me as a genuinely good person,” said McDaniel,   
   who recalled Lathem as “fiercely intelligent.”   
      
   McDaniel, a client relations administrator at Warner Bros.   
   Entertainment in Burbank, Calif., said that when he first saw
