The sheriff says a Mundelein man has been reported missing and foul play is suspected as a SWAT team and detectives carried out a search warrant at his home near Mundelein.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said they are searching for Ruslan Furman, 51, who was last known to reside in the 16500 block of North Route 60-83 in unincorporated Mundelein.

The warrant was to search for any crime-related evidence at Furman’s residence in the 26500 block of North Route 83 in unincorporated Mundelein, Covelli said.
