Father and 22‑Month‑Old Son Missing After McHenry Walk, Police Seek Public Help

Law enforcement says surveillance footage and a confirmed rideshare to a Wisconsin police station produced leads that triggered a multi‑state search.

Overview

  • Todd Sabatini, 36, left his McHenry, Illinois, home with his 22‑month‑old son Theo for a routine walk and did not return, prompting family to report them missing.
  • Investigators found Theo’s stroller behind a local business and reviewed security video showing Sabatini trying to contact someone at Zion Lutheran Church and speaking with a person at Taco Bell.
  • Police say the pair took a rideshare to the Greenfield Police Department in Wisconsin where Sabatini briefly spoke with an officer and then left the station on foot with his son.
  • McHenry police say they have reliable information placing Todd and Theo in Milwaukee and are coordinating a multi‑jurisdiction search with Wisconsin partners while urging anyone with information to call 815‑363‑2130.
  • Officials express concern for the toddler’s welfare because family described the outing as unusual for Sabatini and said he lacked supplies for an extended trip, and authorities warn the situation remains active and fluid.
