Luis Israel Baez was 24 when he disappeared from a hotel at 39th Street and Harlem Avenue in Lyons, Illinois, in late February 1999. Records often cite February 25, 1999, as his last confirmed sighting. He is described as Hispanic and Caucasian, 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and two tattooed dots on each hand between the thumb and index finger.

Police found his hotel room intact with his coat, clothes, cell phone and other personal items left behind. On the day he vanished he was reportedly wearing an off-white zippered shirt with detailing, navy blue jeans, black boots, a gold chain and a watch. The Cicero Police Department is listed as handling the investigation, and no significant leads have been reported.

How can anyone who knew Luis, saw him around Lyons in February 1999, or has information about that hotel or nearby activity help move this case forward?
