WILL COUNTY, IL — A man named Diego Santiago recently contacted Patch about his 17-year-old son Diego Jr., who has been missing since the evening of Monday, Nov. 18. Diego Jr. was last seen in the Joliet area, and his father is now asking anyone with information to contact him.

Due to the complications involved in missing persons cases and the effects news coverage can have on them, this story was only published after the detective working on Diego Jr.'s case gave her approval.

While the police continue to investigate the case, Santiago said their contact with him has been limited — thus he is seeking the public's help. If you have any information on Diego Jr.'s whereabouts, Santiago requests that you call him at 773-986-1335, or contact him via Facebook.
