Police Search for Missing Arlington Heights Husband and Father of 2

Timothy Anderson, 38, was last seen at his Arlington Heights residence Monday at 4:30 a.m.

Police are searching for a missing suburban father of two who has been missing since Monday morning.

Timothy Anderson, 38, was last seen at his Arlington Heights residence Monday at 4:30 a.m. His dark-colored Acura was located by the Cook County Forest Preserve Police at the intersection of Donlea Road and Bateman Road in Barrington Hills the same day at 7 p.m. after his cell phone pinged to the location.

Charlie Drost, who has been a friend of Anderson’s since college said his disappearance is “very out of character, Tim was guy who stuck to a schedule and didn't really deviate from it.”

Drost has joined trained rescuers to continue the work to find Anderson – a father of two young boys and a Northern Trust employee who typically took the train to his office in the Loop.

“We have a happy marriage, he was a very dedicated father to our boys,” wife Cathrall Anderson said.

Cathrall Anderson has been painfully reliving every detail of the last two days since he left their house in Arlington Heights desperate for a clue. She said when he got up Monday morning he said “not much, he just kind got up, it was 4:30 in the morning so I was going back to asleep but he seemed to leave with some urgency.”

Neither Timothy Anderson, nor his phone have been located despite what has become a bitter cold and increasingly difficult search effort.

Arlington Heights police said he had no known physical or psychological issues. Friends also said he had no known financial issues.

The Arlington Heights Police Department is being assisted by the Cook County Forest Preserve Police in efforts to locate Anderson.
