Lake Villa man reported missing

Lake Villa police are looking for information about a missing 33-year-old man who has not been seen since Friday.

Nicholas Steward was last seen driving a white 2008 Saturn, police said in a news release. He did not return home from work Friday, and a missing-person report was filed Saturday, according to police.

His I-PASS transponder was recorded traveling northbound on Interstate 294 through a toll booth at 5:30 p.m. Friday. Around the same time, police said, Steward reportedly had a phone conversation with his employer.

A signal from his cellphone was detected in the area of the 2700 block of South River Road in Des Plaines about 10:28 p.m. Friday night, but since then his cellphone has been off, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lake Villa Police Department at (847) 356-6106.
