Ronald A. Fields, 39, was last seen in Joliet, Illinois, on November 13, 1996. Family reported him missing when he did not return to his normal routines, and the Will County Sheriff’s Office took a missing person report. At the time he disappeared he was described as a Caucasian male between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing about 140 to 145 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He is believed to have been with a maroon two-door 1987 Ford when last seen.

There were no immediate signs of foul play reported, no note, and no clear indication of his intended destination. The investigation produced few leads and later went cold; the case remains open and his information is listed in national missing persons databases. Little else is known publicly about his movements on or after November 13, 1996.

Did anyone in Joliet or the surrounding area have contact with Ronald around mid-November 1996 or remember seeing a maroon two-door 1987 Ford that week?
