Most no body murders involve women as victims but here is a case outside of Chicago where the man has been missing for three years today:
Family still has no clues in case of missing STC man

Three years after her brother disappeared, Stephanie McNeil still doesn’t know what happened to him.
“We don’t have any more information today than we did three years ago, which makes it that more frustrating and unbearable,” said McNeil, sister of St. Charles man John Spira.
Spira, 45, last was seen Feb. 23, 2007, at Universal Cable Construction near West Chicago, which Spira co-owned. A fire in September 2007 totaled the business.
DuPage County Sheriff John Zaruba said Monday that sheriff’s detectives are continuing their investigation into his disappearance. He urged anyone with information on the case to call the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office at 630-407-2333.
Spira’s disappearance will be featured next month as part of the Investigation Discovery cable channel show, “Disappeared.” The segment will air starting on March 15.
“I am hoping the show will bring new leads and interest to the case,” McNeil said. “The more people who know about the case, the better.”
The family has also engaged the services of a former federal prosecutor who McNeil said is the country’s foremost expert in prosecuting “no body” murder cases.
Susan Olsen knows what it is like having a loved one seemingly disappear. Her son, Bradley Olsen, 26, of Maple Park, has been missing since January 2007.
“There never will be any closure for us if we don’t find some answers,” said Olsen, who keeps in touch with McNeil. “It is a sad, sad situation.”
DeKalb police continue to investigate the case. Bradley Olsen was last seen about 2 a.m. Jan. 20, 2007, at Bar One in DeKalb. DeKalb police have said he arrived at the bar with some friends late Jan. 19.
