Raj Rawal, whose family said he was recently showing signs of depression, was last seen leaving his home in the 300 block of Inverrary Lane in unincorporated Deerfield on his bicycle, according to a missing persons alert from the Lake County sheriff’s office.

Officers were able to locate his bicycle and cell phone along the shoreline of the Des Plaines River Trail, but were unable to find him, police said.
