ARLINGTON HEIGHTS POLICE SEARCHING FOR MISSING FATHER

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (WLS) -- Police in the northwest suburbs are searching for a missing father of two.

Tim Anderson, 38, was last seen leaving his Arlington Heights home early Monday morning. Dozens of people - including Homeland Security - are involved in the search.

"This is totally not him at all. Totally out of character," said Kathleen Anderson, Tim's older sister. "Hold out hope that we're going to find him and he's going to come home to us. But there's a whole bunch of scenarios that run through your head."

Before dusk, a police helicopter searched for clues above a dense Cook County forest preserve in Barrington Hills. Anderson's car was found parked and locked just off Algonquin Road near the Barrington Riding Center.

"Verizon was able to get information and ping him to this location," said Cathrall Anderson, his wife.

She said her husband left their home miles away in Arlington Heights before 5 a.m. Monday.

"I tried emailing him, texting him throughout the day and one of my really good friends works at Northern Trust as well and he did not show up to work that day," she said.

Anderson's family said dozens of volunteers were out searching for the father of two. They'll remain here as they wait for answers.

"If anyone has seen him, his picture is all over the media, we want him home. My sons are 3 and 6 and they want their dad," Cathrall Anderson said.

Anderson's family hopes someone may have seen him Monday morning between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. There's a gap of time from when he left home to when his car was found here.

Anderson is not dressed for the cold weather. He was last wearing blue jeans, a Chicago Bears hooded sweatshirt, a black North Face jacket, a silver wedding ring and a Chicago Bears baseball hat.

I wonder why he would leave his house that early in the morning if it wasn't for work.

Homeland Security? So does he work in a sensitive position...or do they think he is up to something nefarious?

To go to the gym? Most of my coworkers get up at ungodly hours to go to the gym.

So I googled the company that the wife mentioned and apparently they deal with investment banking for high net worth individuals and companies. (If that's the company she's referring to) He could know something. I also saw the same company is freezing its employees salaries for 2016, though I don't know how that's legal.

That failed to occur to me because I'm lazy

I wonder...he was near the riding center, does he ride horses? That's another early morning thing.

Or did he get up, leave, park his car and commit suicide somewhere?

Here is his picture (forgot to add it to the original post)

Found dead

It sounds like he killed himself. Very sad for his family.

Hmm. Usually they say homicide if it's a murder, so yeah, probably suicide. I wonder if Homeland Security was investigating him rather than on his side. Maybe he got in over his head with some shady shit.

Death of Arlington Heights Father Found in Forest Preserve Ruled Suicide


Sounds like a tough way to go. I am thinking Homeland Security was looking at him in connection with something. It will be interesting to see what comes out in the coming days.

If anything does. With a dead body, the investigation is over and aside from him being dead, nothing really salacious that would inspire continued media attention has happened. Usually the backstory is revealed because either someone was very young or because they killed someone else, but most suicides, particularly ones committed because of financial duress and so on, just get dropped because everyone is like, well, that ended badly.

I can't say 100% but my guess is this is the end of this case.

If it's just financial duress, then rightfully so no one should hear anything further outside of his family. If he committed a crime, then I expect we will hear more.

So he stabbed himself to death? Damn

Maybe he slit his wrists or something.
