Details of Disappearance

Claeys was last seen in East Moline, Illinois on October 5, 2017. He was driving an older model Ford truck whose owner let him borrow it. He never returned the truck and has never been heard from again, and eventually a stolen vehicle report was filed for the truck. It has not been located either.

Claeys has a history of going without contact with his family, although he usually called his mother on birthdays. His mother reported him missing in 2019. Since his disappearance, Claeys has not used his bank accounts or credit cards. There is one person of interest in his case, but no charges have been filed.

He may have traveled to Florida or Arizona after he went missing. The circumstances of his disappearance are unclear.
