There is a picture at the link of her brother holding her missing poster. Her pic is on the missing poster. Not a real great way to have a missing person's photo out there, but, something is better than nothing.


ETA - you know this does tick me off. I live in Belleville and the notice of the family's protest at city hall this week is the first mention I have seen of Janet Tillman in the local media. The St. Louis Post Dispatch ran a story as well. She went missing in October last and nothing till now.

It was an expression of one family's frustration - and hope.

A protest was held in honor of Janet Tillman Thursday morning in front of Belleville City Hall by about two dozen family and friends, carrying signs and chanting. The protesters alleged city police had failed to properly investigate the disappearance of the 50-year-old Belleville resident whom family members said worked as a prostitute in East St. Louis.

<<Janet’s family, including her five siblings, were used to her unusual lifestyle. Her sister called her a “street person,” and it’s reported that Janet liked to visit a truck stop in Troy, Illinois, on Route 203. She was also said to be a regular customer at a Flying J market in Atherton, Illinois. The missing woman’s family reportedly shared that Janet has spent most of her life working as a prostitute, and records indicate that she has a few offenses for solicitation.>>
