Distinguishing Characteristics:
Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Brown hair, brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, Wright’s hair was styled in mid-back length dreadlocks with red tips. She has tattoos covering her arms and hands, including the name “Londa” in script below two rainbow-striped Venus symbols, the name “Joseph”, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple stars, the word “D-UNIT”, a rose, and swirls. She also has “MARY 1936-2009” tattooed on the center of her upper chest, just below her collarbone. Photos of Wright’s tattoos are posted with this case summary.
Details of Disappearance:
On December 18, 2016, at 1:45 p.m., a hairstylist named Wright was kidnapped in Chicago’s Marquette Park neighborhood. Three or four men forced her into a blue Mazda with Ohio plates. She fought back and screamed for help but was taken.

It’s strange because Wright’s friend, Marlo “Chris” Gulley, disappeared near the same spot less than a year later. Also, Shante Bohanan, a 20-year-old woman, was found murdered in the same area earlier that year (July 2016). Police aren’t sure if these cases are connected.

Wright was a popular member of the LGBT community in Marquette Park, where she grew up. Her disappearance is still a mystery.
