IL IL - Kierra Coles, 27, pregnant, Chicago, 2 Oct 2018

[TravelingBug]

A little more here, but still nothing that gives much more info.

The larger crime scene bit is maybe interesting (I'm guessing maybe killed there based on that? A victim trying to flee maybe? Or scattered remains?)

<snip>

Police said they were still trying to determine the woman’s identity but declined to release further details.

“Because of details surrounding the death, detectives believe information released at this time could potentially jeopardize the investigation. For that reason, no further information will be released at this time,” the sheriff’s office said Tuesday.

<snip>

“It’s one of the bigger crime scenes we’ve had in quite some time,” Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Dan Jungles said.

This is incredibly vague date wise - as in noticed anything suspicious within the last week? Month? Etc?

Sheriff’s investigators are asking anyone who noticed suspicious behavior in that area, or has other information that might be relevant, to contact them <snip>.

Hm. "One of the bigger crime scenes" could also mean one of the most important.

Dunno what it might mean otherwise. Scattered remains, maybe?

 

[liltexans]

Is there a thread yet in the UID forum for these remains found in Joliet?

Murder Near Jefferson Street Update

However, the homicide victim found on Joliet's west side was not someone who had been missing for years. The body is not that of one of Will County's high-profile missing women such as Stacy Peterson of Bolingbrook, Lisa Stebic of Plainfield or Will County Sheriff's Deputy Robin Abrams, who vanished in 1990.

for whoever it is.

I only grabbed the last two links posted here. Please add to it, thanks.

and... disappeared from all media, not a peep.

Hmmmmmmmm interesting.

Let me get this straight.

There are some cameras in her neighborhood that caught her movement right before she disappeared.

But no other Chicago cameras exist on other streets or blocks that showed her movement?

 

[steff13]

It does seem unlikely. But, the video they have is from her neighbor. Maybe other neighbors have cameras but haven't offered up the footage? I don't know, the whole case is weird.

As always, thank you Amanda. You are such a huge help in so many cases and it is really appreciated.

I hate that there is nothing new to report on Kierra's case. Someone knows something. I think it might take loose lips to solve this case.

Would be interested to know if the deceased woman was pregnant.

hoping there is news soon - anything to bring peace to this family! Kierra, and those who love and miss her, we are still pulling for you being found safe and sound... and if not, to be found soon regardless... I am pretty sure LE knows more and is working this case.

 

[AmandaReckonwith]

I don't have much faith in CPD. They are swamped, overworked, and there are a lot of murders.

There's a case I archived several years ago... Latasha Nevitt... Mom of 3, married, disappeared from the Morgan Park, Chicago nbhd in 2011. Found in 2014 just steps from her home inside a water departments drain cover. No arrests were made, even though the husband was a suspect. The activist Andrew Holmes led prayers in that case too. I'm sure that case weighs on him as he was leading a group passing out fliers for Kierra.

But I can always hold out hope that she is alive. Dim that it is, it is still hope.

I'll be astonished if LE is even looking at this case. Without more evidence, they're probably assuming she walked.

I don’t believe they think that...they had better not, with the stats on murdered pregnant women...one of the leading causes of death for that group.

The Chicago hospital triple killing today was domestic violence related as well.

Very sad case that one.

 

[girlhasnoname]

As I am preparing for a big Thanksgiving rush, it breaks my heart that Kierra isn't home for the big day. I cannot begin to imagine the pain/hurt her family is going through. My thoughts and hopes go out to them for her to be found and safe soon.

Yes. When is this entire situation going to actually garner media attention? That homocide is the number one reason for death among pregnant women. I don't even think that there are specific statistics on the numbers.

It is scary. An article about this issue, with commonalities amongst the women would be important reading for pregnant women.
