Daren Arnold Wood was 24 when he was last known to be in Elgin, Illinois, on July 11, 2017. His last reported location is around Bluff City Boulevard and St. Charles Street.

At the time he disappeared Daren was reportedly experiencing homelessness. Family accounts say he stopped by his mother’s east-side Elgin home in July 2017 and told them he would be back in two days but never returned. Identifying details include a scar on his left eyelid, small scars on his hands and arms, a leg scar from tree-service work, a scar on his nose from his cat, a star tattoo on his left forearm, and a cross tattoo on his left hand near the thumb. He was reportedly wearing a black T-shirt, light blue jeans, black sunglasses, black-and-white tennis shoes with red on the tongue, a gold watch from his biological father, and a silver chain.

The case remains listed in missing-person databases and has been investigated against unidentified remains, and at least one public tip placed him in Rochelle, Illinois. Does anyone have information about Daren’s movements in July 2017 or recall seeing him near Bluff City Boulevard and St. Charles Street?
