CHICAGO (CBS) ―
Lisa Stebic is not the only person that family and loved ones are searching for this weekend.
Forty-five-year-old John Spira has been missing for three months, but early Saturday morning family and friends assembled at a parking lot in West Chicago to continue the search, as CBS 2's Rafael Romo reports.
Spira was last seen the night of February 23 at his business in West Chicago.
"He was last seen around 7:15 and made his last cell phone at 7:09," said Aspira's sister Stephanie McNeil. "He was going to meet somebody at 8:30 in Oakbrook and never made it, but his truck was still at work."
John Spira's cell phone remained active for several hours the night of his disappearance. It was pinpointed to a wooded area between two cell phone towers and that's why search parties started looking here Saturday.
"They have some maps showing the general area that they believe where his cell phone may still be, so basically we're looking for a cell phone," said Anne Bilby of RachelFind.com.
The families of two other missing men joined in the search.
Bradley Olsen went out with a couple of friends on the evening of January 19. After dinner they went to a bar and he stayed behind.
"He was going to get a ride home with someone else. So he was last seen at Bar-1 in DeKalb on that evening and the last we know is that he was looking for a ride home," said Olsen's mother Susan.
Thirty-eight-year-old Scott Arcaro from Lisle has been missing for almost three months.
"There are no leads so this is really all we can do," said McNeil. "I don't know what else to do besides just go out and look."
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them immediately.
