Lorenzia Tucker, 31, was last seen February 1, 2011, after traveling from her new home in East Chicago, Indiana, to Chicago, Illinois, to pick up her tax refund check around 2:00 p.m. She reportedly called to request a ride home but never returned and has not been seen or heard from since. Tucker left three children and was described by family as a dedicated mother who would not have willingly abandoned them.

At the time she disappeared she had moved to East Chicago to distance herself from an ex-boyfriend; he was investigated but authorities have not named him as a suspect. Tucker never cashed the tax refund check. She was last seen wearing a short black Baby Phat jacket and a knit cap with ear flaps, and had freckles on her face, moles on her forehead and cheek, and psoriasis around her hairline. Any information that could help bring her family closure is requested.
