Cory J. Rhinehart was 28 when he left his Zion, Illinois home for work on the morning of March 15, 2019, wearing black hospital scrubs, a black pea coat, and black Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers. He was last seen by family that morning and was reported missing three days later after he failed to report to work and his phone went dark, which his family said was out of character.

On the evening he disappeared, a brief 911 call was placed from his phone around 8 p.m. from an apartment in the 2100 block of Gabriel Avenue. Officers who checked the apartment found it empty but observed human blood on the floor, walls, and door; the scene was treated as a crime scene and the blood sent for testing. Phone, banking, and social media activity stopped completely after that night.

The Zion Police Department and the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force later investigated the case as an endangered missing person matter with suspected foul play. In May 2019, a 57-year-old Zion man, Vincent C. Bevly, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with Cory’s disappearance; Cory’s body has not been recovered. Does anyone in Zion remember seeing Cory after March 15, 2019 or have information about the Gabriel Avenue apartment that could help the investigation?
