Lee Cutler turned 18 just two weeks before his disappearance.

When Lee Cutler left for work at a music store in the local mall on the morning of October 20, 2007, everything seemed as normal as could be.

The young man, who'd just recently celebrated his 18th birthday, said goodbye to his mom and headed off to work at around 10 a.m. in his brand new 2007 gray Toyota Corolla.

But Lee never made it to his job at the mall in Buffalo Grove, Ill.

At the time of his disappearance, Lee Cutler was in the midst of his senior year at Stevenson High School in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

Two days later, Lee's Corolla was recovered 170 miles away from Buffalo Grove in Baraboo, Wisc.  Cops found it near the Baraboo River.

Many of Lee's personal belongings were found in the car.  There did not appear to be a struggle, but several of Lee's things -- like his Yarmulke and letters from loved ones -- were left behind.

In the following days, Lee's pants were found in the river with his wallet and keys to his Corolla still in the pocket.

Police searched the river and nearby wilderness extensively, to no avail.  While they do not believe that Lee met with foul play, there is a possibility that he may have been in danger.

No News Is Bad News

At the time of his disappearance, Lee was in the midst of his senior year at Buffalo Grove's Stevenson High School.

Shortly after he vanished in late October 2007, the Wisconsin winter settled in and the weather worsened, hampering the search.

To this day, however, investigators continue to look for any clues in both Baraboo and Buffalo Grove.  Thus far, nothing new has surfaced.  Cops are hoping someone has information about Lee's whereabouts and they can help bring him home to his family.
