Sylvia Renee McElroy was 27 when she vanished from Chicago in the autumn of 1987. Her last confirmed sighting was on a November evening near 63rd and King Drive, where she was seen with a friend and an unidentified man. The three got into a brown, four-door Buick from the late 1970s, and Sylvia was never seen or heard from again.

Sylvia was a Black woman with brown eyes and black hair with a burgundy tint. At the time she stood between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches and weighed about 125 to 135 pounds. She had a scar on her upper right shoulder and was wearing a long beige trench coat, a blue and white shirt, navy blue pants, and carrying a black and brown purse when last seen.

The friend and the unidentified male who were with her remain key unresolved details. If anyone saw Sylvia near 63rd and King Drive in November 1987 or has information about the vehicle or the two people who left with her, please come forward.
