Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP130568) and 3 other sources

Christina Serwaa, an 87-year-old woman, has been missing from the northside of Chicago, Illinois, since the autumn of 2019. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as being 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds. She is a Black / African American woman with black hair and brown eyes. Distinctive physical features include a dark spot on her palm and a scar on the side of her lips. She was also known by the names Christiana Serwah, Christiana Adu Serwaa, and Afia Serwaa.

The circumstances surrounding Christina's disappearance remain unclear, causing deep concern for her family and community. She was last in contact with anyone on September 27, 2019, and since then, all communication with her family has ceased. Authorities have indicated that there was no sign she intended to leave for an extended period, which has made her sudden absence all the more alarming. It is known that she has previous connections to Gary, Indiana, though no other details about her potential travel have been released. No information regarding the clothing she was wearing at the time she went missing has been provided.

The Chicago Police Department, specifically Area North, is handling the investigation into her disappearance. Her case is also featured by the Cook County Sheriff's Office as part of their Missing Persons Project, which focuses on resolving long-term missing person cases. Authorities have appealed to the public for any information that might shed light on her whereabouts or the circumstances leading up to her going missing. The case is a poignant reminder of the ongoing issue of missing persons, particularly among vulnerable elderly populations, and the profound impact these unresolved cases have on families and the wider community.
