Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP12893) and 12 other sources
Lorenzia Tucker, 31, was last seen on February 1, 2011, after she traveled from her new home in East Chicago, Indiana, to Chicago, Illinois. She had gone there to pick up her tax refund check around 2:00 p.m. and reportedly made a phone call requesting a ride home. However, she never made it back and has not been seen or heard from since. Tucker left behind three children, and her family described her as a dedicated mother who would not have willingly abandoned them.

At the time of her disappearance, Tucker was dealing with personal issues involving an ex-boyfriend, which prompted her move to East Chicago to distance herself from him. While her ex-boyfriend was investigated, authorities have not named him as a suspect in her case. Additionally, Tucker never cashed her tax refund check, further adding to the mystery surrounding her disappearance.

Lorenzia was last seen wearing a short black "Baby Phat" jacket and a knit cap with ear flaps. She had several distinctive physical features, including freckles on her face, moles on her forehead and cheek, and psoriasis around her hairline. Despite years of searching, her case remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to seek any information that might help bring closure to her family.
