'End this nightmare': Mom desperate for answers 1 year after pregnant postal worker Kierra Coles' disappearance.
A year ago, Kierra Coles, a young, pregnant U.S. postal worker, disappeared from her Chicago neighborhood.
Coles' case has been a mystery since the beginning. She was last seen on surveillance video wearing her postal worker uniform and leaving her South Side apartment. Her car was found in front of her apartment with her purse, phone and a packed lunch still inside, according to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System .
The Postal Inspection Service, the law enforcement branch of the U.S. Postal Service, is also conducting an investigation and looking"at any and all leads," Postal Inspection Service representative Julie Kenney told ABC News this week. "She didn't seem like she was upset or nothing," Phillips told ABC News on Tuesday."She was just asking what's the best milk to get."
Coles' father, Joseph Coles, told reporters in July,"I just want my baby to come home, along with my grandbaby that I never got to meet.""Somebody knows something," he said."If you've got any information, please come forward... I will keep pushing this information until she is brought home safely to me."
"Blacks definitively face dual types of disparity, as they are both less likely to appear in the news at all and also tend to receive less coverage even when they do appear," said the study, which examined the phenomenon"Missing White Woman Syndrome."
