Do sharks live in the Illinois river?
No. Great white sharks only live in salty oceans. There is such a thing as freshwater sharks, but no sharks live in the Continental United States rivers, lakes, streams, etc.
Not in the fresh water, but in the area of brackish (fresh and ocean water mix) water there are possibly some Great White Sharks. It's unlikely that they would remain in that type of water, for long enough to be considered 'living there', though. There are historical records of at least one Great White Shark which swam up some rivers around New Jersey back in the 1920's, give or take a few years. It killed several people, injured some others and inspired the movie 'Jaws'.
