Special A. Uecker was 20 when she disappeared from Rockford, Illinois. On September 21, 2005, she told family she was at home waiting for a ride from a person she did not name; after leaving the house that day she was never seen or heard from again. She is described as a Black/African American female, 5 feet 1 inch, about 106 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

The Rockford Police Department opened a missing person investigation but found few leads. The person she intended to meet has never been identified and no witness has come forward about her movements after she left her residence. There is no clear evidence that she intended to leave permanently, and the circumstances remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Special, the people she was with, or saw her in Rockford on or after September 21, 2005, please share information with the Rockford Police Department.
