Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1714) and 9 other sources
In the early morning hours of September 29, 2001, 33-year-old Bedriye Sayrun vanished from the north side of Chicago, Illinois. She was a mother to two young children and her disappearance was completely out of character. According to her family, Bedriye was always diligent about checking in and letting them know her whereabouts. On the night she went missing, she was at the Fireside Restaurant, located in the 5700 block of North Ravenswood Avenue. She was seen drinking and dancing before leaving the establishment at approximately 5:30 a.m. with an unidentified Caucasian male. Bedriye was never seen or heard from again. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a black blouse, silver pants, and black shoes.

Bedriye is described as a biracial female of Black and White descent, with black hair often worn in braids and brown eyes. She stood 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed around 130 pounds. It is known that Bedriye was managing depression and bipolar disorder, for which she was taking medication. There was concern that the medication could have adverse effects if mixed with alcohol. Her case is classified as an endangered missing person case. The Chicago Police Department has been the primary agency investigating her disappearance.

Over the years, the investigation into Bedriye Sayrun's disappearance has yielded few answers, and her case has grown cold. It remains unclear if the man she was last seen with was ever identified or questioned by authorities. The lack of new leads has left her family in a prolonged state of uncertainty, grappling with the void left by her sudden and perplexing disappearance. The overview of this case is one of a loving mother who vanished without a trace, leaving her family and community searching for answers that have remained elusive for over two decades.
