Leiyla Underwood, 16, was last seen on Chicago’s West Side in the Austin neighborhood near the 4800 block of West Cortez Street. At the time she went missing she was wearing a black jacket and black Crocs. Leiyla is described as 5 feet tall, about 110 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a fair complexion.

Her family says she has ADHD and may have been experiencing suicidal thoughts, and her mother has insisted Leiyla is not a runaway. Area Four detectives with the Chicago Police Department were assigned to the investigation and a reward was offered as the family appealed for help.

What details about Leiyla’s routine or where she might have been that day could help investigators — did anyone see her near West Cortez Street around the time she disappeared?
