Summary based on the NamUs case record (NC999659911) and
1 other sourceSergio Lopez Caal was 18 years old when he was reported missing from Urbana, Illinois, on November 12, 2023. Public missing-child notices identify him as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, approximately 165 cm tall and 54 kg in weight. Those details are brief, but they form the public outline of a young man whose absence has been serious enough to be circulated through missing-child alerts and connected with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
The available notices do not describe the circumstances of the moment he was last seen, who he may have been with, or what led to concern for his safety, leaving the beginning of the case painfully sparse for the public.
The most specific public guidance says both photos on the missing-child poster are of Sergio, that he wears glasses, and that he may remain in the Urbana area or may travel to Chicago, Illinois. That detail gives the case a wider geographic focus: investigators and the public were asked not only to look close to home in Urbana, but also to keep Chicago in mind as a possible destination or place where he might be seen. No public online source reviewed here provides a confirmed sighting after the missing date, a confirmed route of travel, or a known reason he may have gone to Chicago, so the public picture remains limited to identifying information, possible locations, and the request that people share any information that could help locate him.
The appeal for information has been direct and urgent. The public notice asks anyone with knowledge of Sergio’s whereabouts, or any information connected to the case, to come forward even if the detail seems small. It lists the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678, also known as 1-800-THE-LOST, and the Urbana Police Department in Illinois at 1-217-384-2320 as contact points for information. That request reflects the reality of many missing-person investigations: a small observation, a remembered conversation, or a possible sighting can become important when placed alongside other details known to investigators.
As of the public information available from the online sources reviewed, Sergio Lopez Caal’s case is presented as the disappearance of an 18-year-old male from Urbana, Illinois, last seen on November 12, 2023. He is described as Hispanic, with black hair, brown eyes, glasses, and a slender build, and the public has been asked to remain alert both in Urbana and in Chicago. The known facts are few, but they are meaningful: Sergio was reported missing, his identifying details and photographs were shared publicly, and authorities and child-protection organizations asked for help from anyone who might know where he is or what happened. The case, in overview, is a quiet but urgent missing-person appeal centered on finding Sergio, clarifying where he went after he was last seen, and bringing answers to those who care about him.Last Seen: Nov 12, 2023
