Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33354) and 9 other sources
In the summer of 2015, a 40-year-old woman named Janice Chilton vanished from her hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana, leaving behind a life and a concerned family. On June 1, 2015, Janice was last seen at Doc's Liquor Store, located in the 3000 block of East 10th Street. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a plaid button-up shirt and blue jeans. Known to sometimes use the last name "Dobbs," Janice is described as a white female with brown hair and brown eyes, standing between 4'11" and 5'0" tall and weighing around 105 pounds. She has a few distinguishing features, including a scar on her forehead, a mole on her chin, and a tattoo on her upper left arm. After she was last seen, she has not been heard from again, and the specific details surrounding the circumstances of her disappearance remain limited.

The days following Janice's last known sighting turned into weeks, and then months, with no sign of her or any communication to alleviate the growing fears for her well-being. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was notified of her disappearance, and a report was filed on June 6, 2015. Her case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under the number MP33354. Investigators have had very few leads to follow in their efforts to uncover what happened to Janice. The lack of information has made the search for answers a challenging and frustrating endeavor for both law enforcement and her loved ones.

Years have now passed since Janice Chilton was last seen, and her case has grown cold, though it remains open. Her family continues to hold out hope for her return, and the community has been urged to come forward with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The central facts of the case are that Janice, a 40-year-old woman with distinct tattoos and a scar, disappeared after a visit to a local liquor store on a June evening in 2015. She was last seen on East 10th Street in Indianapolis and has not been seen or heard from since that day. The investigation into her whereabouts is ongoing, as those who know and love her continue to await any news that might bring an end to the uncertainty and pain of her absence.
