NIEJA PATTERSON - 14 yo Chicago/South-Englewood IL

Chicago Police are asking for the public’s help
finding a teen who went missing last Friday in the South Side Englewood
neighborhood.


Nieja Patterson, 14, was last seen at 5:15 p.m. Feb. 26 walking from
6614 S. Bishop St. to South Ada Street – about two blocks east,
according to a missing person release from Wentworth Area detectives.

Nieja is described as a 5-feet, 4-inch, 115-pound black girl with a
medium complexion, brown hair and brown eyes, the release said.

The Perspectives High School student was last seen wearing a black
sweater, black coat, black jeans with a red design on the back pockets
and black gym shoes, according to the release. She was wearing her hair
in a ponytail with bangs.

Anyone who sees Nieja is asked to call 911 or Wentworth Area detectives at (312) 747-8385.

A short disappearance was able to cause a stir for a South Side Englewood neighborhood as a 14-year-old girl had gone missing.
The search, fortunately, has come to a close as the girl, Nieja
Patterson, was finally found as she showed up for school on Tuesday. A
missing person's alert had been issued for the teen Monday.

Nieja had last been seen on February 26, according to a missing person release from Wentworth Area detectives.
Abductions in the South Side area have not been something out of the
ordinary, going back in history, so concern and worry would clearly
come into play on her whereabouts.
There has been no word of any statements released by the young girl as to where she was for the last four days.
Although missing for a short amount of time, in a country where kids
are disappearing everyday and Amber alerts ring non-stop, it's good to
know that some of these children actually do come back alive and well.
