Juan Cole thinks it is most likely Sadr is in Iraq Marsh region.
But one thing is for sure NO one is certain thus the mystery remains.
Will continue to scan over time to get the answer to this.
But i state i have have doubts he is in the marshes as he then would be sitting Duck for bombing from the air. i do not see Sadr putting himself in danger like that

<<Al-Hayat reports in Arabic that Muqtada al-Sadr and several leaders of his movement as well as commanders of his Mahdi Army are present in the southern marshlands of Iraq, a place in which dissidents in the former Baath regime used to hide out. The marshes have been re-flooded and are at 40% of their original area, and they do give good protection to anyone wishing to hide out. The Marsh Arab inhabitants of the swamps have largely become followers of Sadr, and so would protect him. They are in an area of Iraq that borders Iran and which serves as a smuggling route between the two countries, which may have given rise to the idea that Muqtada was on his way to Iran. He more likely is holed up in the marshes. This is the most plausible story I have seen yet on Muqtada's disappearance.>>
