Keith K. Crawford, 36, was reported missing on August 11, 2014, after last being seen leaving a party near West Dundee on August 10, 2014. A father of five with local community ties, his sudden disappearance prompted a police missing-person investigation that later developed into a homicide case.

Prosecutors say Crawford drove with two men that night after a party. Gary M. Bennett, 36, allegedly sat behind Crawford, produced a handgun and shot him in the back of the head, killing him instantly. According to charges, Bennett and Joan Sebastian Vado-Bonilla disposed of Crawford’s body in a Dumpster at an apartment complex on Todd Farm Road in Elgin; despite searches the body was never recovered.

Vado-Bonilla later cooperated and pleaded guilty to concealment of a homicidal death. Bennett was convicted of first-degree murder and concealment; he received a lengthy prison sentence with enhancements for using the firearm. Does anyone have information about Crawford’s last known movements or the party near West Dundee on August 10, 2014?
