Keith K. Crawford, 36, was last seen the evening of August 9, 2014, at a party in an unincorporated area of West Dundee near Route 31 and Miller Road. He was reported wearing blue jeans, a tan jacket, black gym shoes, and a black baseball hat. His gray 2009 Toyota Matrix was left at the party and his cell phone stopped activity after 2:19 a.m. on August 10. The Bartlett Police Department received the missing persons report on August 11, 2014, and family-led searches followed, including one at Fox River Shores Forest Preserve.

Investigators later learned, based on cooperation from an accomplice, that Crawford was killed in the early hours of August 10. The witness said Gary M. Bennett arranged to meet Crawford, and that the three men left together in a vehicle driven by Joan Sebastian Vado-Bonilla. The witness testified that Bennett shot Crawford in the back of the head while driving south on Route 31 and that Crawford’s body was disposed of in a dumpster at an Elgin apartment complex. His remains were never recovered and are believed to be in one of two Illinois landfills.

Anyone with information about Keith Crawford’s final movements or where his remains might have been taken is asked to come forward.
