Earl Bradley Flowers, 57, vanished from Sauk Village, Illinois after a last text to his mother on May 1, 2019. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 140 pounds, bald with blue eyes. His family reported him missing when his daily contact stopped and days passed without word.

When relatives checked his home they found the front door unlocked and his two dogs without food or water. Personal belongings and his bicycle remained at the house, which family and police say suggested an unplanned disappearance. The Sauk Village Police Department classified him as endangered and checked local hospitals and shelters but uncovered no significant leads; no surveillance footage or witness accounts have been reported.

The investigation remains open and the case went cold despite community and online efforts to generate tips. If anyone has information about Earl’s whereabouts or saw him in early May 2019, please contact the Sauk Village Police Department.
