"To my knowledge he was going to just register his ticket and get on the flight but for whatever reason he never took the flight his bags weren't registered, and he never checked in, so what we're thinking is he could possibly be floating around the airport or something, but again, that's the last we've seen of him."
"Everything seemed pretty normal the first eight days, but the last two days his whole mood had swung, and he was really adamant about not going back home, and he didn't want to go home."
"Obviously when you have a missing child it's all unsettling, but I'm not the type of guy that's going to be nervous or overreact until we have more information."
Elijah Hoard, 23, went missing at O'Hare International Airport on Friday after spending 10 days in Chicago with his family. His father dropped him off for a flight to France, but Hoard never checked in or boarded. His father reports that Elijah suffers from mental illness and had become reluctant to return home during the final two days of his visit, with his mood significantly changing. His phone has been off since Friday evening, and he has limited money. Chicago police have officially reported him missing and are reviewing airport surveillance footage. Hoard is described as 6'3" tall, weighing 220 pounds, and was last seen wearing a brown hoodie.
