Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP34163) and 4 other sources
On a late summer day, August 31, 2010, 37-year-old Jivko E. Todorov was last seen in Wheeling, Illinois. A White/Caucasian male, he stood between 6'0" and 6'1" and weighed around 160 pounds. He had brown hair and brown eyes, with a distinctive birthmark on his lower left forearm. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, creating a long-standing mystery for his loved ones and investigators. The official report of his disappearance was not filed until over a month later, on October 8, 2010, with the Wheeling Police Department.

The investigation into Jivko's whereabouts took a significant turn on November 11, 2010, when his vehicle, a black 1995 Toyota Camry with Illinois license plate 225M205, was found abandoned in Rosemont, Illinois. The discovery of his car so far from where he was last seen added a troubling layer to the case, leaving more questions than answers. Despite this lead, information about what happened to Jivko after he was last seen in Wheeling has been scarce.

Years have passed since Jivko Todorov vanished, and his case has grown cold. The lack of any substantial leads or new information has left his family without the closure they desperately seek. The case remains open, a poignant reminder of a life interrupted and the enduring pain of not knowing. The overview of the case is one of a sudden disappearance, a discovered but empty vehicle, and a timeline that has stretched into more than a decade of uncertainty. Law enforcement continues to seek any information that might shed light on the events of that day in August 2010 and finally bring Jivko home.
