Mother of missing Illinois State University grad student Jelani Day pleads for his safe return. - DatelineNBC
An Illinois State University graduate student is still missing days after his vehicle was located abandoned in a wooded area of Peru, Illinois, last week. Authorities, along with his family, are pleading with the public for information on his whereabouts.
On that Monday evening, Jelani also exchanged texts about coursework with the Director of Clinical Education at the University, Cara Boester, who told“When he didn't show up, I texted to see what was going on and he didn't answer me,” she said. “I knew he had class at 1 p.m., so I waited for him after class and he didn't show up.”
The family made several attempts to reach Jelani, but calls to his cell phone went straight to voicemail. Carmen said her oldest son went to Jelani’s apartment with police and relayed that it appeared to be in order, but his white 2010 Chrysler 300 was also missing. During the investigation, detectives obtained security video from ISU's Bone Student Center that shows Jelani at around 7:20 a.m. Tuesday, August 24. He is seen wearing a blue button-up collared dress shirt, black pants, a black belt, black dress shoes, and a blue face covering.
She said Jelani is not the type to go off without talking to his family. He is also not the type to put himself in a dangerous situation. She said he was excited about his graduate program and had already gotten his report card, which boasted two As and two Bs.
