On <strong>March 28, 2026<\/strong>, the Will County Coroner\u2019s Office officially confirmed that skeletal remains found in Mokena, Illinois, are those of the 36-year-old Joliet man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terhan had been missing since <strong>June 27, 2025<\/strong>. While this news brings a tragic end to the search, the investigation into what happened to him is just entering a new, critical phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Case Information:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Terhan Gordon<\/strong> went missing from Joliet, Illinois, on June 27, 2025. He is a 36-year-old father of five children. He was visiting friends from Chicago that particular night. Since then, his phone has remained off. His family is searching for any small clue they can find. Police detectives believe his disappearance is very suspicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Events Leading Up to Disappearance:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terhan spent his final evening doing chores at home. Later, he drove to Joliet to meet with some old friends. He was seen on camera at a gas station. However, Terhan always calls his kids every single day. So, his sudden silence worried his family right away. They knew something was wrong that night.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"n2-section-smartslider fitvidsignore  n2_clear\" data-ssid=\"205\"><div id=\"n2-ss-205-align\" class=\"n2-ss-align\"><div
