John Spira, 45, of St. Charles, Illinois, disappeared from his business on the evening of February 23, 2007. He was last seen about 7:00 p.m. at Universal Cable Construction on County Farm Road in an unincorporated area of West Chicago after returning to the office from dinner with a friend and business partner. He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, blue jeans, an olive green flight jacket, black shoes and a Rolex watch.
Family reported him missing on February 25, 2007, after he failed to appear at a planned gathering. Both of Spira’s vehicles were found after his disappearance. Four days after he was last seen, on February 27, 2007, a fire destroyed his business; investigators deemed the blaze suspicious and treated it as possible arson, which eliminated physical evidence that might have helped the inquiry. The DuPage County Sheriff’s Office holds the active case file, but no decisive leads have emerged and the investigation has grown cold.
Spira’s family described him as a devoted father and successful entrepreneur. Does anyone who knew John, worked at Universal Cable Construction, or was in the County Farm Road area on February 23–27, 2007, have information that could help move this case forward?
