Not much out there. I suspect she was local.

Agreed! Unfortunately, I don't think Cook County, IL (or the state of IL) has listed all their missing persons. Currently there are 33 Unidentified Black/African American women listed in Cook County, IL but only 59 missing Black/African American women listed for the whole state of IL. Seems like a low #. I wonder if her missing person report is sitting in a desk somewhere.....

This poor dear! I hope she gets a recon soon. PM photo isn't graphic.

I'd suggest Micky Colman (similar upturned-ish nose, similar-sounding name, + a tattoo mentioned), but there's some discrepancies:

Detail	UID	Colman
DLC/DBF	1/28/2000	01/07/1999

Age	25-45	25

Big height and weight difference, though. People gain and lose weight, but seven inches in height isn't going to change in an adult. And people remember a six foot tall woman.

MOO

Oh, absolutely, hence why I posted that there's discrepancies.

(Could you please explain what MOO is shorthand for? I don't know what it means. /gen)

My opinion only.

Basically, if you're stating an opinion on Websleuths, let people know it, if it's stated as a fact, you have to cite your source. Stops false information and rumours derailing the threads. I tend to add MOO to most of my posts for that reason. Websleuths Lingo

Welcome to Websleuths!

Thank you! ^^

I'll have another look at NamUs later today, in all likelihood. There's a good chance that if the UID is reported missing, her tattoos weren't properly documented. (Well - MOO.)

So Nikki was her birth name, not just a street name.

Sleep well, Nikki. I'm glad to know who you are after so long.
