Laura Wolfe-Orlovich, 46, of Marion, Illinois, was last seen leaving her home on July 15, 2020, to help an acquaintance drive up north. Her mom’s roommates told her daughter, Amber, that the acquaintance was a man, known as “Snoop,” who asked her to help drive up north to Chicago, Illinois because his son had been killed. He had told both Laura and her roommates that he needed her to drive because his license was suspended and he was distraught. She agreed and told the roommates she’d be back on Friday. They left in a gold 1998 GMC Yukon SUV. Over the next two days, Laura called her roommates from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and asked them for help in getting her a train ticket home. She never made it home and hasn’t been heard from since. Laura is described as being 5’6" tall and weighing approximately 200-225 pounds with long, curly light brown hair and blue eyes. She has two tattoos, one on her lower back and a hummingbird and flower on her thigh. Anyone who may have information on Laura’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Marion Police Department in Marion, Illinois, at 618-993-2124.

"Snoop,” asked her to help drive up north to Chicago, Illinois because his son had been killed.

He lied. Why did he need to go to (Chicago?) really? That's what I would like to know...I mean, what was the real reason I wonder...
