Greg left his home at 1001 Peyton Street in Geneva at 7:30 a.m. on March 16, 1982, telling his family that he was going to see his grandmother, who lived a few blocks away. It was later discovered that Greg took his brother's bicycle without permission and never arrived at his grandmother's house. Subsequently, Greg's family reported him as missing.
The Dixon Police Department found Gregory and his parents left Geneva to pick him up. After taking custody of Greg at the Dixon Police Department, he ran from his parents' vehicle saying, "I will never go back to Geneva."
The bicycle was recovered in Hinckley, Illinois on March 19, 1982. Greg has had no contact with family since March 19.
