Pekin Police Continue Search for Missing 13-year-old

Pekin Police continue to search for 13-year old Robert Bee, who was reported as a runaway more than three-weeks ago.

State and Federal agencies are also participating in the search. Pekin Police Detective Mike Eeten says the combined agency effort has placed a tremendous amount of manpower to search, interviews and lead follow-ups. 

There have been no confirmed sightings of Bee since his disappearance Nov. 18, and there are no new leads.

Eeten says they continue to take the situation seriously, but they do not believe there is any risk to the public or other children. Eeten says they also believe someone, somewhere, knows something about Robert Bee’s disappearance.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Pekin Police Department or Crime Stoppers. A one-thousand-dollar reward is available for information leading investigators to the child.
