Overview

  • Felecia Bates, 49, was last seen July 2 boarding a CTA bus at 75th Street and Jeffrey Boulevard, according to Chicago police
  • The CTA cannot verify her bus ride because she left home without a phone or purse and paid cash for the fare
  • Bates’s diabetes and schizophrenia have left her without essential medications for more than 11 days
  • Relatives and volunteers have distributed flyers daily around Nichols Park and along 53rd Street in Hyde Park in hopes of new leads
  • Despite efforts by family, community members and police, there have been no confirmed sightings or fresh information as of July 13
