Gerald C. Malkowski was 75 when he was last seen in Calumet City, Illinois, on August 8, 2016.

Gerald was known to spend time around golf courses searching for lost golf balls, a habit police emphasized when seeking the public’s help. Concern in the south suburban community grew after he disappeared; on September 1, 2016, Calumet City police publicly appealed for information. A significant detail: his vehicle was reported abandoned and later found parked at the Value City Furniture lot at 2100 River Oaks Road in Calumet City on August 28, 2016, a location near a golf course. No confirmed sighting of Gerald after his last reported appearance on August 8 is described.

If anyone remembers seeing Gerald, his car, or anything else around the River Oaks Road area or local golf courses in mid-August 2016, please share what you know with investigators.
