Chicago is just a short bus ride away and has a large immigrant population, here both legally and illegally. Hopefully, she just didn't want to leave the US and has found someplace safe to stay.

I think she's Eritrean. Many Eritrean go to gulf states for work. Saudi arabia, uae, Qatar mainly. This is the reason she got a hijab on one of the photos. She probably escaped an abusive situation from the family or they murdered her.

Or she took a risk for a better life.

So the family she was with reported her missing to law enforcement?
Hopefully she's voluntarily "missing" and is safe with good people.
