This info is based on what we do at our department - things may vary in Illinois.
He CAN be entered into the system as a missing person/adult. Once that's done, if any LEO in the country runs him, he will come back as missing. The officer will check on his welfare and inform him he's listed as missing. He can tell your son he should contact you, but since he's an adult (and assuming he poses no danger to himself or others and hasn't committed a crime) the officer cannot take him into custody or detain him so you can pick him up.
It could also be that he left the Chicago area in pursuit of another job, another woman, or to stay with friends in another city or state. That's why it's important to get him registered in the nationwide system for missing persons.
Good luck.

We drove up and searched for him today, filed a missing persons report, then I drove back to MI .... he just called me
He's OK - he just needed some time alone ... he has never done this before, but he's home, safe and sound and I thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and concerns
Mentally and Physically wiped out, but super glad my son is OK
thanks again

Glad to hear your son is safe! Sounds like he has a great family and hopefully he will soon be back on top of the world.
