The multiple shirts, mismatched socks, and shoe soles make me think she may have been homeless.

Julie Ann Harris (MP103068) seems to line up statistic wise.
D.L.C: December 5, 2022
Location: Bloomington, Illinois
Race: White
Age: 50 years
Height: 5'4"
Hair Color: Brown
Circumstances:
Ms. Harris is homeless and went missing. Last seen on December 5, 2022.

Biggest downside to this match is the distance between Bloomington and Chicago.
