Details of Disappearance​

Zepedo was last seen on September 17, 1997 in Lyons, Illinois. He was reportedly going to travel to Traverse City, Michigan, then return the next day and travel to Mexico and visit his wife and son.

In September 2002, police dug up the basement and yard of an apartment building in Cicero, Illinois where Zepedo used to reside. They had received a tip that his body might be buried there. Nothing was found during the search, however. Zepedo's case remains unsolved.
