Missing Paraplegic Man Could Be in La Grange

A paraplegic man who was driving from Tennessee to Minnesota has been missing since Friday—and it’s possible he’s in La Grange.

Mark Brunberg, 43, placed a collect call to his Minnesota-based father, Tom, Friday morning, saying his wallet was missing, CBS Chicago reports. It’s possible the call originated from La Grange, the report said.

Brunberg, who is a paraplegic, was driving a white Mercury Villager minivan with Tennessee license plate number 305DD08. A picture on the CBS Chicago website shows that he has grey hair and a grey goatee.

After the call, Brunberg, who is in a wheelchair, may have taken a train into Chicago, the report said.

He borrowed a cell phone and called his dad again, telling him he was on his way to La Grange or Orland Park.

Brunberg was last seen on the Roosevelt Road platform along the CTA Orange Line. His father said Brunberg is possibly suffering from dementia. 

If you have any information about Brunberg’s whereabouts, call the Carver County Sheriff Tipline in Minnesota at 952-361-1224 or Deputy Adam Hasting on his cell phone at 952-451-2725.
