DOWNS – 31-year-old Tyler Graf went missing on Saturday April 11 and has not been seen since.
Graf’s mother, Pat Graf, told our news partner HOI ABC he was near Kickapoo Park in Downs where him and a friend were walking on a trail. His mother says some how the two became separated in the timber. She added they believe something must have happened to him because his disappearance does not make sense.
“He would have just never disappeared on his own and that’s the part that hurts us so bad. Tyler would have done anything in the world for anybody and he needs to be found,” Pat said.
Search and rescue teams were in Downs on Saturday, and the Hudson Dive team was there on Sunday and Monday, but no one has found any trace of Graf. Pat Graf says her son missing seems like a nightmare that she cannot wake up from.
“No matter how old your child is, you want to protect them, you want to be there. If they’re hurt you want to take care of them, and I can’t do that,” Pat said.
The McLean County Sheriff’s Department says they have no leads so far. If you have any information, call the sheriff’s department at 309-888-5030.
