Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP33138) and 8 other sources
On March 2, 1992, 72-year-old Annie L. Sanders, a female from Broadview, Illinois, disappeared after walking away from her son's home where she was living. At the time she went missing, she was described as a Black female with gray hair and brown eyes, standing between 5'5" and 5'7" tall and weighing between 130 and 135 pounds. She had a noticeable scar on her forehead above her left eye, as well as other small scars on her forehead. Annie often wore costume jewelry, typically including three to four rings on both of her hands. It is also believed that she may have used the last name "Bryant" as an alias.

Annie was known to experience health challenges that could have contributed to her disappearance. She reportedly had hallucinations and could become disoriented easily. In addition to these conditions, she was also known to have an enlarged liver and an enlarged spleen. This was not the first time she had wandered off from her residence; on a previous occasion, she was found by local police a few miles from her son's home. On the day she went missing, she once again walked away and, tragically, did not return.

The search for Annie Sanders has continued in the years following her disappearance. Law enforcement, including the Broadview Police Department, has maintained her case as an active investigation. Details of her case have been shared through various missing persons' networks in the hope of generating new leads. Despite these efforts, she has not been seen or heard from since that day in March 1992. The overview of this case is that of a vulnerable elderly woman with health issues who wandered away from the safety of her home. The lack of any contact or sightings since her disappearance has left her family with unanswered questions and a case that remains unsolved.
