The community of Justice is grappling with the unsettling disappearance of 21-year-old Christian Doss, who has been missing for almost a week. Last seen on the night of Friday, Nov. 7, near the crossroads of 83rd Street and 88th Avenue, his absence has sparked a police search and concern from the residents. According to WGN-TV, a search party is being organized for the morning of Saturday.
Doss was reported missing to the Willow Springs Police Department on Nov. 10, three days after he vanished, having last been spotted at around 10:15 p.m. A surveillance picture capturing him in a gray hoodie, gray distressed jeans, and soft pink gym shoes was the last visual confirmation of his whereabouts. Family members, who have initiated the search party efforts, describe him as "very gentle and an extremely funny person," who has a condition that might need immediate attention. While looking for something he may need, it is also reported that Doss is 6 feet tall, weighing 164 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair, which CBS News Chicago also notes includes piercings.
The search party, which family members are holding, is set to convene at 10 a.m. on Saturday at 7747 Oak Grove Ave. in Justice. Concerned individuals and volunteers are expected to join in the efforts, bringing to bear a community's collective hope for finding one of their own. In a statement obtained by WGN-TV, the family's plea is palpable, calling upon anyone with information to step forward.
Local authorities from the Justice Police Department are emphasizing the urgency of the situation, given Doss's medical condition. They have requested the public's vigilance and assistance, asking anyone who might see him or have any information regarding his disappearance to contact them at 708-458-2191 or to call 911 immediately.
