Mortgage Crisis

In this photo taken Wednesday, July 15, 2009, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, center, confers with department employees Bob Hovey, left, and Scott Cassidy in Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Ill., during his investigation after four people were accused of digging up graves and reselling plots in a moneymaking scheme. Cook County's top law enforcer — more comfortable in shirtsleeves and a ballcap than a uniform and sheriff's hat — is making a name for himself through high-profile investigations into the cemetery scandal and prostitution on Craigslist, after first making a national splash with his decision to halt evictions amid the housing crisis.
