Family, friends, and the Kewanee community continue their search for answers almost a year after Catrelle Reed's disappearance and murder. Zaffery Reed joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the loss of his brother and the ten months of no answers in Catrelle's murder. Catrelle, a dedicated father, friend, and worker, vanished from his driveway last May; his glasses were left behind, and his vehicle was found abandoned nearby. Zaffery said that Catrelle needed glasses to see, so he wouldn't have left without his glasses. His body was later located in a wooded area off Highway 81, with investigators confirming homicide. Loved ones hope that by keeping Catrelle's story in the public eye, someone will come forward with information. The Illinois State Police remain in charge of the investigation, and Reed's brother, Zaffery, urges anyone with information to call ISP Zone 2 Special Agent Walt Willis at 309-948-4818 or email ISP.CRIMETIPS@illinois.gov. Every tip could be key to helping the family and bringing justice. Community marches and memorials are planned to honor his memory. So, tell us a little bit about Catrelle. Who was he? "Of course, that's my brother, my life, my better half, man, but he was just a father; he worked, drove semis, fished, he's real big on family. He'd give you anything, and he was in a point of trying to better his life, finding his Lord. That's where he was at; that's where we both was at, that's where we, you know, trying to change. But he was a real good person, though, you know, like, just kind, and like I said, he'd give you anything, you know what I'm saying?" So, he was missing for about a week. How did you guys handle the search for Catrelle during that week and just the waiting? "Man, I just, all I could do, man, was just, I can't even, man, all I could do, man, was just keep praying and hoping to God, man, and that was, like, the worst time of my life, man, that week, like, the worst time, man, like, you just didn't know what to do, man." Hear Zaffery talk about his brother and the pain he and his family have felt since Catrelle's death almost a year ago.  Background: On May 22, 2025, Catrelle Reed, 39, didn't show up to his job as a truck driver. His glasses and the contents of his lunch box were found on the ground in his yard. His vehicle was found abandoned around a block away from his home. His phone was found on the ground near the old boiler shop property. Catrelle was reported missing to the Kewanee Police on May 22nd. Family and friends organized grid searches around his home and on roads leaving town. Authorities conducted investigations and conducted searches based on tips. On May 30th, family and friends received news regarding a body discovered in a wooded area on Highway 81 outside Kewanee that could be Catrelle. An autopsy on June 2nd confirmed the identity of the person found as Catrelle and the manner of death as homicide.

Cole is joined by recurring guest Phil to break down Part 1 of ColeMemo.com's overview of Illinois' 2025 annual cannabis report, a required compilation of updates from state agencies covering licensing, enforcement, public health, and revenue. They discuss IDFPR reporting that 93 dispensaries received operational licenses, the agency's description of Metrc entering its post-launch phase, and a discrepancy in reported craft grow license counts across state reports and press releases. Most of the conversation focuses on the Illinois State Police section, including Chicago's arrest heat map, the first year-over-year increase in Cannabis Control Act arrests since legalization, and how hemp and THCA products have complicated prosecutions. Cole and Phil also discuss ISP's push for phlebotomy training to speed up DUI cannabis blood draws, K9 policy changes, gaps in expungement tracking, and what the data suggests about cannabis-related criminal enforcement continuing in Illinois despite legalization.

On the afternoon of January 8, 2023, deputies from the Jersey County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a trespassing call in Dow, Illinois. A landowner reported seeing two men riding across his fields: one on a four-wheeler and the other driving a blue Buick. When deputies caught up with one of the men, he explained that he was searching for his girlfriend, 39-year-old Kaila Vincent Vatole, who had left their residence earlier that day. He said he didn't know which direction she had gone, but he was worried about her and told deputies she might be suicidal.Given the seriousness of the situation, a search for Kaila began immediately. Deputies arrived on scene shortly after 2 p.m., and, with daylight already fading in the winter months, a helicopter was requested to cover as much ground as possible before nightfall. Several other agencies were called in to assist with the search efforts. Deputies went door to door, asking neighbors if anyone had seen Kaila, but no one had. It was as if she had simply vanished without a trace. The sheriff then contacted the Illinois State Police to request an aircraft equipped with heat-sensing technology, hoping it could locate Kaila. The pilot identified several heat signatures, but each proved to be an empty well or a culvert.They began pinging Kaila's phone. A deputy also attempted to call her several times, and that's when it was heard ringing inside the house under a pile of clothing. At that point, investigators realized Kaila had left without her phone, eliminating what might have been their strongest digital trail. In the days that followed, deputies returned to the area to search, but no trace of Kaila was found. More than three years later, what happened to Kaila Vincent Vatole remains unknown.If you have any information about the disappearance of Kaila Vincent Vatole, please contact the Jersey County Sheriff's Office at 618-498-6881.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
