Sonya Marie Rouse missing Chicago


The circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Sonya Marie Rouse are ominous, but her loved ones continue to search for answers. Authorities can’t seem to pinpoint the exact date when the last time anyone saw the 50-year-old missing woman, but it was sometime in March 2016. Some outlets list the date as March 5, while others say the last sighting occurred somewhere between March 5 to March 15.

The Chicago Tribune reported years ago that Sonya was somewhere in the vicinity of 75th Street and Champlain Avenue on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois when she went missing. Sonya had been reportedly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and in March 2016, she was living with an abusive boyfriend.

At the time of her disappearance, Sonya Marie Rouse was described as being 5 feet 8 inches tall and 160 pounds. She had black/dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair was styled in a blondish-brownish, curly wig. National missing persons databases have noted that Sonya was top-heavy in the breast area.

Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the Chicago Police Department at (312) 745-5206 or their local authorities.

Medical Conditions
Rouse suffers from bipolar disorder and emotional problems. She also has a history of substance abuse and has been in rehab but relapsed after getting out.

Details of Disappearance

Rouse was last seen in the vicinity of south Champlain Avenue and east 75th Street in Chicago, Illinois at 11:00 p.m. on March 5, 2016. She has never been heard from again.

Rouse graduated from Illinois State University with a journalism degree; she dreamed of becoming a broadcast journalist. After college and giving birth to a daughter, she developed mental health conditions and started abusing substances to cope. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and her mother took custody of her daughter.

She had an arrangement with her mother where her mother would reach out to her every few days by text or calling, and would go to the police if she didn't hear back from her.

Rouse was in an abusive relationship with her live-in boyfriend at the time of her disappearance, and her mother believes he could have been involved in her case. He was imprisoned after Rouse's disappearance, and a corrections official offered to arrange a police interview with him, but the police declined. They never did interview him and he died about a year after his release from prison.

The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear, but her mother believes she came to harm.
