Lakisha Lenette Thomas was 36 when she left Madison, Wisconsin, shortly after the birth of her baby in February 2018. She reportedly traveled with a man known as Jesse or Jessie and was last definitively accounted for in Chicago on March 23, 2018, when she was arrested for trespassing. After her release from Cook County Jail, family contact stopped and she has not been heard from since.

Descriptions list Lakisha as a Black woman with black hair and brown eyes, between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 6 inches and about 140 pounds. Distinctive tattoos include the name Jessie on the left side of her neck and a heart with the letters LL on her right shoulder; she also has a pierced nose. Reports conflict about the final sighting: one Chicago Police report states she was last seen June 8, 2020, in the 5700 block of S. Bishop and that she frequented 63rd and Ashland, but the March 23, 2018 arrest remains the last confirmed contact.

The Madison Police Department lists her as an endangered missing person. If anyone knew Lakisha, the man called Jesse or Jessie, or saw her in the Chicago areas mentioned, please come forward with information.
