MERRIONETTE PARK, Ill. (WLS) — New body camera video from the Cook County Sheriff’s Office shows a suburban man who has been missing for over a month.
The video shows Dan Davis getting out of a police vehicle around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 25.

The images add to the mystery that’s haunted his family for weeks.
“It’s such a roller coaster because, you know, we get people that message us and say, ‘you know, I think I’ve seen your dad over here.’ And then we go look at cameras or look at the pictures they sent, and it’s not him, but ‘thank you.’ And that’s kind of the back-and-forth that we’ve been doing for a month,” daughter Wendy Davis said.
The new video shows the 59-year-old Davis being dropped off at the bar where he works, 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park.

A little more than an hour earlier, relatives say, he’d been in a car crash near 119th Street and Avers Avenue in unincorporated Alsip.
His family thinks he may have had a stroke or other medical episode prior to the crash.
“The camera footage of him leaving his apartment building, we have some videos of him, like kind of going around and trying to open his neighbors’ doors in the hallway and stuff, which was odd obviously,” Wendy Davis said.
In fact, the video shows Davis appearing confused about the squad car’s locked door.
Davis then appears to walk strangely, as he steps onto a curb.
“You can see his left leg not really bending that well, or he kind of struggles to pick it up. Or he almost uses his hand to help it up or something,” Wendy Davis said.
Hours after that recording, Davis was spotted by surveillance cameras, wandering around south suburban Blue Island.
Video showed him again the next day, on Nov. 26: his last confirmed sighting.
“We don’t even know if he’s still, like, in Illinois or in the city,” Wendy Davis said.
