Father and Son Vanish on Walk, Found Safe
10 Aug
Summary
- Father and toddler son went missing during a Sunday afternoon walk.
- A multi-state search involved Illinois and Wisconsin authorities.
- The father and son were eventually found safe in Milwaukee.
A 36-year-old father, Todd Sabatini, and his 22-month-old son, Theo, were reported missing after not returning from a walk on a recent Sunday. Their disappearance triggered an extensive search operation spanning Illinois and Wisconsin. Relatives described the outing as normal but noted Todd's unusual behavior and lack of provisions for his son.
Authorities located Theo's stroller behind a market, and security footage showed Todd interacting with individuals at a supermarket and a church. He then took a rideshare with Theo to the Greenfield Police Department in Wisconsin, an hour away, before leaving on foot with his son.
The search concluded the following day when reliable information confirmed Todd and Theo were located safe in Milwaukee. Police departments in both states expressed gratitude for the assistance in finding the pair. The reasons for their disappearance and subsequent reappearance remain undisclosed.
