URGENT UPDATE: The Chicago Police Department is urgently requesting the public’s assistance in locating Theta Hughes, a 27-year-old woman who has been missing since December 3, 2025. Hughes was last seen near Union Station, specifically on the 500 block of West Jackson Boulevard.
Authorities are increasingly concerned as her absence continues without any communication. Hughes is described as standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds. She has blue eyes and brown hair, and is identified as a white female. The chilling winter conditions in Chicago add a layer of urgency to the search.
At the time of her disappearance, Hughes was wearing a light purple jacket, blue pants, and tan snow boots—details that are particularly alarming given the freezing temperatures. Additionally, there is a crucial element regarding her identification; her current name does not match the name on her ID, which still reads Hughes.
The police are encouraging anyone with information about Theta Hughes’ whereabouts to come forward immediately. You can contact the Chicago Police Department’s Area 3 SVU at 312-744-8266 or dial 911 for urgent reports.
As the search intensifies, every moment counts. The community’s vigilance could prove vital in bringing Hughes home safely. Please share this information widely to help spread the word.
