Reed said he got the idea last year while listening to a true crime podcast about numerous missing women and teens in and around the Chicago area.

“I stumbled on the fact that it could be possibly a serial killer in Chicago rumors of like sex trafficking,” he said.

Last May, he began with the high profile case of Kierra Coles — the pregnant postal worker who went missing in October 2018 as she was leaving her home in Chicago’s Chatham neighborhood.

“I did the portrait of Kierra Coles and I posted it,” he said. “I also asked her mother, father, other relatives go tagged in it and they really like what I was doing.

The mural, located at 79th Street and Prairie Avenue, contains a QR code where people can learn information and comes complete with a contact number for police.

Parents of missing postal worker issue plea for same attention as Gabby Petito case: ‘We haven’t forgotten’

“I want you all to treat Kierra Coles’ case like it was Gabby [Petito’s] case,” George Ivy, a family friend, said Friday at a press conference. “You all broke your necks — police, detectives, FBI — for Gabby because she was white. I need you all to man up and do stuff for Kierra Coles.”

Questions had also been raised by the mother of Jelani Day, a 25-year-old graduate student at Illinois State University, after the disappearance of her son earlier this month.

On 3rd Birthday Since She Vanished, Kierra Coles' Family Still Praying For Her Safe Return; 'She’s Alive Somewhere'

"There are Gabby Petitos in the Black and Brown community, and these families are desperate just to get their cases heard," said Derrica Wilson, CEO of the Black and Missing Foundation. “Missing persons isn't a Black issue. It’s not a White issue. It is an American issue.

"You look for my daughter for a few weeks, and then it just, it died down," Phillips said. "Y'all did everything possible for this other person until she was found."

I’d love to know what happened to Kierra-and for whoever was responsible for her disappearance (and likely murder) to face the music.

I sure hope he will. But if police in Chicago get with police in Louisiana, there may be a chance of something. I think his
move out of state got him away from police srutiny and maybe he will get away with it for good.

Justice for Kierra And her baby! Let’s keep this thread bumpin!!

 

[girlhasnoname]

Every missing person deserves attention and to be found. I can't believe there isn't more movement on this case after all this time. This family needs answers and someone needs to be held accountable.

Her boyfriend/father of her baby MOVED out of state when she was reported missing and he was the last person she was with?

Guess not enough on him (no recorded interactions on SM like Gabby/Brian, etc)
Perhaps if his name was added to her missing page (Last seen with “Name”) - if it can be verified.
Are there no photos or anything of them together? Didn’t they work together?
Did no one ever meet the boyfriend?

Why is he hiding?

Was this guy only involved with Kierra? Gosh, it’s been so long since she disappeared, that I can’t recall. I think he might have been involved with another woman, too. I would like to light a fire under this case-she deserves to be found, and her family deserves to know.

#KierraColes was last seen Oct. 2. She's a USPS worker and is pregnant. Kierra was seen on video leaving her home in Chatham, dressed in her work uniform, but her family says she called off that day. If you know something, say something. #FindKierra

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS YOUNG LADY? Kierra Coles has been missing for nearly one week! MORE DETAILS INSIDE!

I wonder if she really called out of work herself? She was dressed for work, so maybe not?

For years, a snipped of surveillance video was believed to be a key piece of evidence showing Kierra in her U.S. Postal Service uniform near her home, but her mother says that’s not Kierra in the video.

Any idea what JS’s girlfriend/wife looks like? Could she have resembled Kierra in the video?
