Soror DGs' Family Confirmation/Arrangements Finalized
GCers,
Soror Discogoddess used to frequent GC regularly years ago. Her sister is missing.
From an email:
My 28-year-old sister, Nailah O. Franklin, has been missing for more than 24 hours. She was last heard from via phone by a friend around 4p on Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2007. We know she is missing because she didn't show up for an important "ride around" meeting with her sales manager on Wednesday (she is a pharma sales rep for Eli Lilly, and her territory is based in Oak Park and the south side of Chicago). And, she has not returned phone calls, emails or text messages from an out-of-town guest she was expecting yesterday, nor has she communicated with any family or friends since Tuesday.
We also know that she filed a police report last week alleging a young man whom she had dated made threatening phone calls recently.
I filed a missing persons report with the Chicago Police Department, and have been in constant contact with the sargent (sp) who assigns detectives to these cases. I've been on the phone with the Chicago most of yesterday afternoon through today and plan to speak to the detective who will be assigned her case when he comes on his shift at 4:30p.
The next step is to alert the media (one of Nailah's friends has already gotten WGCI FM to broadcast information about her disappearance) and to perhaps do some canvassing of her neighborhood (Univerity Village in the UIC area) tomorrow and Saturday.
I will be sending around a flyer with her photo, height, weight and other details later, but wanted to let you know about this now. Please, please, please...if you know anything that might be helpful, let me know And of course, please pray that Nailah is safe and will be returned to her family and friends soon.
I have a picture, from the email, but I am challenged in that area....

My prayers are with DiscoGoddess' family.

Not Soror Discogoddess. She was a member of my chapter back in the day. I will try to notify our basileus. She will be in our prayers.
