A woman’s body was recovered Monday from Lake Michigan in Chicago, according to authorities.
Police said the body was recovered just before noon in the 3100 block of South Lake Shore Drive.
An identity has not yet been released but officials said the woman was pronounced dead at the scene and a death investigation was underway. An autopsy was set to be conducted.
The discovery came as authorities had been searching along the lakefront for 53-year-old Linda Brown, a Chicago Public Schools teacher who disappeared while traveling to an acupuncture appointment on Jan. 2.
Brown’s vehicle was found last week near 35th Street and Lake Park along Chicago’s lakefront, her family said. An image released by police Friday shows Brown on Jan. 3 in the area of 3500 S. Lake Park Ave., the last time she has been seen, police said.
“The missing person was last seen alone walking eastbound from that location and could be in need of immediate medical attention,” the department wrote in a release.
Search parties were conducted near where her vehicle was located and where the image was taken, relatives said.
According to a missing person flyer surrounding her disappearance, Brown has been missing since she left her home in the Bronzeville neighborhood and headed to the Wicker Park area for an acupuncture appointment. She never made it and hasn’t been heard from since.
“I am terrified,” said Brown’s husband Antwon Brown. “I am just shaking. I need my wife home.”
Her husband said Brown had her phone, purse and credit cards when she left for her appointment.
“We are just trying our best to locate her,” said her brother-in-law Lorenzo Quintana. “We are looking everywhere we possibly can.”
Authorities said Brown “may be in need of medical assistance.” Relatives told NBC Chicago she was scheduled to return to her work as a teacher with Chicago Public Schools days after disappearance. She had previously been on a leave of absence.
Brown’s sister Lisa Quintana said her disappearance is “so not like her.”
The principal for Robert Healy Elementary School, Erin Kamradt, wrote in a letter to parents that the school is aware of Brown’s disappearance and asked anyone with information to contact CPD.
“I know that news like this can cause many emotions, questions, and concerns for our school community. Please know that we are partnering with the CPS Crisis Management Unit to support our students and staff members,” Kamradt wrote. “If you feel that your child would benefit from additional social-emotional support, please do not hesitate to let us know. Our own school-based mental health professionals will also be available as needed.”
Anyone with information on her disappearance is being asked to contact Area One SVU detectives at (312) 747-8380.
