Ronald Joseph Stobierski was reported missing on July 9, 2003, from the home of his girlfriend, Bonnie Kelly, in Aurora, Illinois, but investigators later clarified he was last seen in Niles. He was 44 at the time, listed between 6 feet 1 inch and 6 feet 3 inches, 130 to 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had a scar on his neck, a scar on his right forearm, and a tattoo of an unknown design on a shoulder. He may have been wearing a light-colored T-shirt, blue jeans and white athletic sneakers when last seen.

Before disappearing, Stobierski had lived in Dixon, Illinois, after meeting Kelly and another patient, Joseph Lemmer, while enrolled in a V.A. Assistance program and at Hines Veterans Administration Hospital in Chicago. Stobierski and Kelly reportedly moved in with Lemmer in Dixon and were last seen after that move. Around the time they vanished, fresh concrete was poured in a barn on Lemmer’s property, prompting suspicion that the couple might have been killed and possibly buried there, though that has not been confirmed. The Kane County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation.

If anyone knew Ronald, Bonnie, their movements in Dixon or Niles, or saw activity at Lemmer’s property around mid-2003, please share information with the sheriff’s office.
