The individual also claimed he last saw Derrick the night before when he dropped him off, and suggested Derrick may be near the Greyhound bus station area in downtown Chicago, Illinois.
And as of March 5th, 2026, the unknown individual who answered Derrick’s cell phone is no longer answering. The phone now goes straight to voicemail.
