Search continues for missing Chicago pastor, Warren Beard, last seen in Joliet

Notes:

- Warren's wife says he goes to work, comes home, he goes to work out, and he goes to church. They've been married 16 years and he has never not come home.

- Warren and his wife live in Chicago but he attended college in Joliet, and occasionally goes back to visit friends.

- Warren's wife said about where he was last seen, "there were other people there, he was there with a friend of his." They don't know exactly how many people were there, but it wasn't just him, there were other people in the house hanging out.

- Warren's vehicle was spotted about an hour after he was last seen at the intersection of Jefferson and Larkin in Joliet at 10:24 p.m. They were told by the Chicago PD that a plate reader read the car.

- Warren has not been to work, his credit cards haven't been used, and he's not been to church.

It's about a 40 mile drive from where Warren's vehicle was last spotted in Joliet IL to the New Israeli Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago. I'm assuming Warren lives somewhere in the vicinity of the church. The route is about 90% highway. If his car broke down it should have been seen and/or reported by now.

Family pleads for help in finding missing South Side pastor

The Rev. Warren Beard hasn't been seen since July 2 while driving in Joliet. Family says police have not told them about his whereabouts when he disappeared.

chicago.suntimes.com

Hours before the Rev. Warren Beard went missing on July 2, he spoke on the phone with his counterpart at New Israelite Missionary Baptist Church.

“He was jovial. He was happy, joking as usual,” the church’s senior pastor, Chenier A. Alston, told reporters Monday.

[...]

Truitt said she was disappointed police haven’t given family an update beyond saying where his car was last spotted. She said she wants to know information about the person he was last seen with and location data showing where his two cellphones were last located.

“Rev. Beard had bank cards, debit cards, credit cards. We’d like information on those cards. We haven’t received anything,” Truitt said, “and that makes this more painful.”

If Rev. Beard departed alone or had someone else in the car would be helpful to know. It's possible that he diverted from the usual way back to Chicago if someone needed a ride. Police should be able to track usage or attempted usage of credit/debit/ATM cards pretty quickly.
