An underage drinking party in Glenview earlier this month resulted in a mess that included vomit and feces, smashed walls and $17,000 in cash missing.

It started as a case of a missing 14-year-old boy, whom police tracked to the residence around 3 a.m. that day. When they were unable to get an answer, one officer let himself in to the home through an open basement window only to find smashed drywall, several empty beer cans and two 14-year-old boys - one of whom was the one reported missing. Bathrooms in the home were smeared with vomit and feces.
