He’s been missing for two weeks?
Hoping he’s found soon.
What was the weather like that weekend of the 28th?

I don't recall specifically, there's been some very cold days but looking at weather history it was definitely cold, it was probably in the teens, cold but not terribly abnormal for Chicago area.

I've seen some conflicting info on Facebook, one photo shared has a caption about him having some mental health issues and that he may be wandering, then later posts say no mental health issues. But that's something that needs to be considered when thinking about potential behavior. The last cell phone ping looks to be in an average Chicago neighborhood (though I am not personally familiar). It wouldn't be odd if he had friends in the city given Zion is a (far north) suburb. But 2 weeks...

I live in Chicago. On the 28th it was in the upper 20's and I remember it getting down to about 10-12 at night as I had to leave a faucet running so the pipes wouldn't freeze. What is puzzling to me is where his phone last pinged. It's quite a distance south of where he lives and even further south of his grandmother's home. It's also in an area of Chicago that has a fair amount of gang activity, even if it looks like just an average area from map pictures. NOT a safe area. Leclaire Avenue

Zion is in a county that borders Wisconsin, that's how far north he was.

We've stayed at the campground in the state park, rode bikes to the next state.

Ooof...yeah and Zion has it's fair share of gang activity too, so something could have happened there and his phone stolen and brought back to Leclaire.
