Missing: David DelCiello, Chicago, Since Nov. 21

2010-03-26 - Body of Missing David DelCiello Identified

David DelCiello was last heard from on Nov. 21, 2009 between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., when he phoned his father "in a panic" from his apartment at 2630 N. Hampden Court.

Family, friends and Chicago Police want your help in finding him. DelCiello is 6' 2", 140 pounds, brown eyes and hair, and "fair complexion." (Note that the correct spelling of his last name is "DelCiello," no space with a capital "C".)

According to a post on the Nancy Grace blog at CNN, "Dave was last seen Nov. 20, by his father, when he boarded a city CTA bus to head home between 10 am and 11 am. He was last heard from in the early morning hours of Nov. 21, around 4 a.m., when he called his parents in a panic, worried that someone was going to break in and take the belongings in his apartment."

A mutual friend named Michael phoned me on the evening of Dec. 14 to alert me about David DelCiello's disappearance, and he gave me some information that does not seem to be anywhere else. Michael, who I've know for four years, grew up with David DelCiello. "I've known him pretty much all of my life," Michael told me. He said that the last time he spoke with David was on Nov. 7 and "he seemed okay." The last time he heard from David was on Nov. 20, when David left him a voicemail. "He sounded normal then, too," Michael said, "I didn't have a chance to return his call before he disappeared."

According to Michael, David DelCiello's medications were left in his apartment. This is possibly very important since one just doesn't take off without taking their important meds with them. In addition, Michael reports that David lost his wallet the day before he disappeared. This is important too. If (hypothetically) David DelCiello is wandering around with amnesia, or might now be an unconscious "John Doe" in a hospital, nobody coming in contact with him would know his name or how to contact his family.

David had been living in an apartment located behind a recording studio that he owned until July, 2009. Three Pear Studio, Inc., located at 5219 North Clark Street (just north of W. Foster Avenue) went out of business in July, 2009. After the studio closed, David moved to an apartment in Lincoln Park at 2630 N. Hampden Court. That's where he was last seen, on Nov. 21, 2009.

If you see David DelCiello please call the Belmont Area Special Victim's Unit of the Chicago Police Department at 312-744-8200.

Wow, all the way from the Lincoln Park area to New Buffalo. That is a long ways for a body to travel if he went into the lake in Chicago. I wonder if he went into the lake in Chicago or headed for a drive and drove towards New Buffalo... I think it is only 1.5 hours drive or so between both places.

Either way, I am glad he was identified and his family can have some closure.

RIP David.
