In the community of Zion, Illinois, the search continues for Angelisa Rivera-Ruiz, a 24-year-old woman who vanished on November 16, 2020. On that day, Angelisa was with a friend at a Walmart located at 4000 Route 173. While inside the store, she received a phone call and walked outside to take it. What happened next is a mystery that has troubled her loved ones and the community ever since. She was last seen running into a large, wooded area near the Walmart and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a blue Adidas tracksuit and white sneakers. She had no winter coat, no money, and no mode of transportation with her.
Angelisa is described as a Hispanic female with long, straight black hair and brown eyes. She is 5'4' tall and weighs between 120 and 140 pounds. A distinctive tattoo of the Chicago skyline adorns her right shoulder. She also has a tattoo of a giraffe on her calf, another on her left ring finger, and the Cancer zodiac sign on her leg. Angelisa has ties to several locations, including Chicago and Plano, Illinois, as well as Memphis, Tennessee. This has led to the belief that she may have traveled to one of these areas, though there has been no evidence to support this. Her cell phone is not taking calls, adding to the distress of her friends and family.
Immediately following her disappearance, the Zion Police Department launched an investigation. Search dogs were brought in to scour the wooded area where Angelisa was last seen, but they were unable to find any trace of her. The circumstances surrounding her sudden departure from the Walmart and her subsequent disappearance remain unknown, and her case is still unsolved. The lack of any substantial leads has been frustrating for investigators and heartbreaking for those who know and love her. The case of Angelisa Rivera-Ruiz is a somber reminder of the many individuals who go missing each year, leaving behind a void of unanswered questions and a community holding out hope for their return.
