Marcus Docter, 36, was last heard from during a phone call with family on the evening of October 17, 2023. During that call he said he was at an unknown police station somewhere in Chicago; that was the last time anyone heard from him. At the time he went missing he was 5 feet 8 inches and about 180 pounds.

The Will County Sheriff’s Office in Joliet opened an investigation and assigned Detective Kimberly Topolewski. Inquiries to Chicago-area law enforcement failed to confirm his presence at any known station that night, and no eyewitnesses or surveillance footage have been located to trace his movements. Local missing-persons groups and community vigils have helped circulate information and keep the case visible.

Does anyone who was in Chicago on October 17 recall seeing Marcus or a man matching his description near a police station that evening?
