We are working closely with Illinois State Police Troop 2 to keep those working on construction projects in our city safe, including the major construction project ongoing at I-74 and John Deere Road with Valley Construction Company.

During a detail earlier this week we conducted 11 traffic stop and issued 7 citations.

We will continue to conduct details to ensure workers have safe working conditions and you can help by slowing down in construction zones.

Slow down and save lives!

Troopers and Moline Police Department conducted a Fatal 4 Detail in the construction area of I-74 near IL-5, which focused on the four biggest contributors of fatal and injury crashes: speeding, distracted driving, improper seatbelt usage, and DUI.

15 citations for speeding
1 citation for improper lane usage

Keep yourself and the construction crews safe. Slow Down. Save Lives.

Thirty-six years ago tonight, Jerry Wolking, then 52-years old left his girlfriend, Joanne's residence in the 800- block 25th Avenue, Rock Island.
Jerry arrived at his home in the 3500 block 44th Avenue but what happened after that is unknown.

Jerry Wolking's truck was located on October 22nd, 1990 at the Quad City Airport. It was confirmed that Wolking did not take a flight out of the Quad Cities. Wolking's truck was covered with mud, there was fresh damage to the front end and there was blood inside the vehicle.

Evidence analyzed in 2013 shows that Wolking was run struck by his own truck, critically injured or likely killed, then placed inside his own truck and transported from the scene by the offender.

Witnesses that came forward in late 2013 stated they observed Wolking's truck revving it's engine while stuck in mud near the Poplar Grove area in Moline. It is the area that is east of 60th Street, behind what is now Skip-A-Long Day Care.

A forensic geological examination of the area in October 2013 showed the soil from the Poplar Grove area, was scientifically similar to the soil recovered from the hitch of Wolking's Chevrolet Suburban in 1990 and saved as evidence.

An examination of a portion of that area did not lead to any new clues in the disappearance of Wolking.

In 1990, Cornelius Sedam became a person of interest in the case as he was the estranged husband of Wolking's girlfriend at the time. Sedam lived near his estranged wife at the time in 1990.

Prior to Wolking's disappearance, Sedam was openly searching for information on Wolking and his residence. Sedam had been utilizing the city directory to contact every Wolking listed and attempted to utilize a Private Investigator to track Wolking and Wolking's vehicle.

Once Sedam located Wolking's phone number, he called it several times leading up to October 18th, 1990.

On the night of Wolking's disappearance, at approximately the same time Wolking left his girlfriend's residence(approximately 10:30-10:45pm) Sedam made a phone call to a closed convenience store near his residence and let the phone sit off the hook for a long period of time. Sedam lived in the area for several years and knew the store to be closed at that time of day.

Wolking was never seen again.

Sedam did not make another phone call to the Wolking residence after October 18th, 1990.

On the morning of October 22nd, 1990, the same day Wolking's truck was found, Sedam left the Quad City area for a period of time.

Sedam died in 2010 without giving a statement to law enforcement.

The Moline Police Department is still actively searching for the remains of Jerry
Wolking. The Wolking family deserve to give their father a dignified burial at a place of their choosing.

We are asking anyone with information to contact the Moline Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at 309-524-2140, message us on here or call Crime Stoppers of the Quad Cities at 309-762-9500.

Every family deserves answers and we will never give up looking for them.

Join us tomorrow at Ben Butterworth Park from 11a-2pm for the annual Halloweenie Roast!!
