Betty Sissac, 46, vanished from Chicago in late winter 1999 and has not been seen or heard from since. Reports place her disappearance on March 27, 1999; accounts differ about who she was last with, saying either her friend’s boyfriend or her own boyfriend, Donald Williams. She had dropped her child at a friend’s home that day and never returned to pick the child up, which family describe as out of character for a devoted mother.

When last seen she wore a black leather jacket, black pants, and white Eagle brand sneakers. Betty is a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches and listed at roughly 130–143 pounds. A distinctive detail is that she is missing a thumb or a finger on her left hand due to surgical removal. The Chicago Police Department investigated and her information is in national missing-persons databases; the Cook County Sheriff’s Office also lists her as missing.

Very few solid leads have emerged and the case remains open. If anyone knew Betty, her movements that day, or has information that might help, please share what is known.
