Tyler Graf was last seen in a wooded area near his home on Saturday morning.

McLean County Sheriff Jon Sandage said sheriff’s deputies and about a dozen volunteers continue to look for 31-year-old Tyler Graf.

“The family has been very helpful,” Sandage said. “Of course, they are very concerned, so we are doing everything we can to assist them.”

Graf was last seen in a wooded area near his home Saturday morning.

According to reports on social media, Graf was last seen wearing blue Dickies work pants, a light blue long-sleeve shirt and work boots.

“We are looking more at a situation where possibly he was involved in an accident of some type. So that’s why our search continues,” Sandage said. 

The sheriff said the search began on Saturday with as many as 50 to 75 volunteers from the McLean County Emergency Management Agency, Tazewell County EMA Search and Rescue and several local fire departments.

Sandage asks that anyone who has information about Graf's whereabouts to call the sheriff's office at (309) 888-5030.
