CHICAGO (WLS) — Chicago law enforcement has issued an arrest warrant for Adam Beckerink, accusing him of murdering his wife, 36-year-old Caitlin Tracey. Currently, Beckerink is held on a $2 million bond related to this warrant and is in Berrien County, Michigan, serving a sentence for domestic violence against Tracey.
The ABC7 I-Team has accessed a police report through a public records request, revealing details of Beckerink’s conduct following his wife’s death. This conduct has resulted in a new charge of contempt of court against him.

The June police report from Chicago highlights troubling behavior by Beckerink, using terms such as “exposing,” “screaming,” “defecated,” and “without permission.”
During Beckerink’s sentencing for domestic violence in Michigan, he faced additional contempt of court charges stemming from an incident at a Concentra Urgent Care clinic located in the West Town neighborhood.
“He consumed alcohol, appeared intoxicated, and exhibited intimidating and threatening behavior towards the staff at Concentra Urgent Care,” stated Berrien County Judge Gary Bruce last Monday, referring to the event where Beckerink was present for mandatory drug testing ordered by the court.
Chicago Police Department officers were summoned to the clinic on West Chicago Avenue due to Beckerink’s court-ordered drug test, where he reportedly displayed obvious signs of intoxication according to the judge.
Beckerink without permission touched the hand of a worker and asked her on a date, a short time later he went into the bathroom, pulled down his pants exposing himself to the entire staff, then defecated all over the floor and himself before returning to his car, according to the Chicago Police Report obtained by the I-Team.
“That’s in violation of those conditions of no assaultive, abusive, intimidating, threatening, violent, aggressive stalking behavior and no consumption or possession of alcohol,” said Judge Bruce.
Beckerink is currently serving a three-month sentence for domestic violence charges and is now facing a $2 million dollar bond for an out-of-state arrest warrant executed by Chicago police
CPD says Beckerink caused his wife Caitlin Tracey’s death last October by throwing her over the railing of the 24th floor of the east stairwell where he lives, according to a felony complaint filed in Cook County court and reviewed by the I-Team.
Caitlin Tracey’s mother, Dr. Monica Tracey, condemned her son-in-law in Berrien County court at Beckerink’s sentencing hearing.
“There is no justice that can heal our pain. No means to bring her back or to take away the physical or mental brutality this monster caused her, for which he cowardly pled no contest,” said Dr. Tracey.
The I-Team reached out to Beckerink’s attorney, but has not heard back. He has not waived extradition, which is slowing his move to face official murder charges in Illinois.
