Body of Dan Davis Found in Blue Island, Daughter Says; Chicago Man Was Missing Since November

Dan Davis was found after a three-month search led by community efforts and social media, with cause of death still under investigation, officials said.

  • Blue Island police and fire crews recovered a body from Stony Creek near 3301 W. Wireton Road on March 9, 2026, later confirmed as Dan Davis by the Cook County Medical Examiner.
  • Hours earlier, Davis had been involved in a crash near the Garden Homes Fire Department, declined medical attention, and was last seen Nov. 25, 2026, leaving 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park.
  • Cook County Sheriff's Office bodycams show Davis being dropped at 115 Bourbon Street and later tracked by K-9 units from St. Donatus Church toward train tracks, where the trail stopped.
  • Blue Island officials offered condolences and urged anyone with information to contact the Blue Island Police Department, with Wendy Davis stating, 'The update I never wanted to make...'
  • Nearly three months of searches used drones, divers, K-9s and a $500 reward offered by Wendy Davis, while Find Dan Day volunteers and SAR Sheps sustained the national campaign.
