Police are asking for the public’s help in the search for a 14-year-old boy who has been missing for more than a week from southwest suburban Evergreen Park.
Zechariah Anderson was last seen about 7:45 a.m. on Feb. 7 leaving his Evergreen Park home, according to a statement from Evergreen Park police.
