Donald Stofko Jr., 53, was last seen at about 4 a.m. on November 16, 2016, in Lynwood, Illinois. He was driving his 2003 black Kia Spectra, Illinois plate V138803, heading east on Route 30 toward his job at a Speedway gas station in Merrillville, Indiana. He was wearing black pants and a blue Speedway shirt and never arrived at work.

Donald requires medication to control seizures, a fact that made his unexplained disappearance especially concerning to family. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 190 pounds, with graying brown balding hair, blue eyes, and glasses. The Lynwood Police Department investigated but reported no significant leads and neither he nor his vehicle has been found.

The core mystery is straightforward: a man on a routine commute vanished without witnesses or evidence while en route to work and without access to needed medication. Anyone who saw Donald, his Kia Spectra, or has information about that morning is asked to come forward.
