How did he convince his family to live there for three generations?

https://heavy.com/news/robert-crimo-iii/

An obituary for Crimo’s grandfather, Robert “Bob” Crimo Sr. 88, of Highwood, says that the family has long ties to Highland Park.

The first Robert Crimo was described as a great family man “who was always there for his family” and was survived by his son Bob Jr. and five grandchildren, including Bobby Crimo III. Crimo III’s parents Bob Jr. and Denise were listed as living in Highland Park.

His father ran for mayor of Highland Park and runs a business there.

He had his prior encounters with police in Highland Park. He grew up and went to school there. It's not like he went from where he usually resided to some other place in order to find a particular group of victims.
