Jose Arevalo went missing last week in Cook County. He was found dead on Tuesday, police said.
Jose Arevalo, 83, was discovered around 11 a.m. near Cermak and Harlem in North Riverside. His body was found in an overflow parking lot of an auto dealership, Berwyn police said. According to police, officers were investigating a separate incident when they came across Arevalo's body.
On Monday, Arevalo's family shared an emotional plea for help finding him. "He's been gone too long, he needs his medication, he's probably confused, cold… he needs to be home." said Esnelia Vargas, Arevalo's daughter.The daughters of 83-year-old Arevalo say he walked out of the family's Berwyn two-flat a little after 1:30 p.m. last Thursday and hasn't been seen since. The daughters of Arevalo say he walked out of the family's Berwyn two-flat shortly after 1:30 p.m. last Thursday and hadn't been seen since. A Ring camera caught a brief image of him crossing the street a block away, but from there, the trail went cold. His family said Arevalo had dementia, which had become severe over the past year, and likely worse since he wasn't taking his medicine.Family, and even complete strangers, were searching large portions of the city where he had lived in the past, like"We've had people reach out and say, ‘well we might have seen him, we’ve gone out and looked.' Unfortunately they've all been — hasn't been him — but everybody's vigilant, everybody's out there looking," said Alejandra Arevalo, Jose's other daughter. Berwyn police also used teams of bloodhounds to track Arevalo's scent, but they were only able to do that for several blocks.that I have read and agree
