Can you help find a missing neighbor?

One of our neighbors has disappeared. He's been gone for over a week. Can you help find him?

Here's the story from Chicago Breaking News :
The worried family of a 57-year-old father-of-five who mysteriously disappeared from his South Side home eight days ago has urged the public to help find him.

Retired postal worker Stephen Covin was last seen in the yard outside his home, 7714 South Martin Luther King Drive, at 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 18, according to his wife, Lisa Covin.

"My father saw him coming from the alley toward the house, but he never came back in," Lisa Covin said. "It's completely unlike him -- he didn't take his car and Steve does not like to walk."
Covin had his keys and his wallet, but not his phone, she said.

The couple have been together for 11 years but only married this February, she said. His wife said he had no history of mental health problems.

They hadn't argued and "there's no reason that makes any sense why he didn't come back," she added. "Unless his mind isn't working properly, he'd have called."

When he was last seen, Covin was wearing a black baseball cap, possibly with a White Sox logo, a white T-shirt, black cargo shorts, sandal-style shoes and white socks.

He has a dragon tattoo on his left shoulder, she said.

Chicago Police are looking for Covin, who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs around 190 pounds, she added.

Anyone with information can call Calumet Area detectives at 312-747-8274.
