A 28-year-old Chicago man has gone missing in Costa Rica while on a hiking trip. Per Chicago Breaking News:

David Gimelfarb was last seen Aug. 11 at about 10 a.m. by a park ranger as he drove a rented sport-utility vehicle in the Parque Nacional Rincon de la Vieja, a national park in the northwest part of the country, according to the friend, Michael Kipnis, and a Costa Rican police report he provided.

After not hearing from their son for two days, Gimelfarb's parents, Roma and Luda Gimelfarb, flew to Costa Rica and are still there, Kipnis said.

Gimelfarb is a resident of the Buena Park neighborhood and is currently a doctoral student at Adler School of Professional Psychology.
