Cold Case Solved: Missing Person Identified After Decades

Investigators have used post-mortem fingerprints to identify the body of an elderly woman who went by the name Seven as Reba C. Bailey, a veteran missing since the 1970s. Reba, a Women’s Army Corps veteran, died in 2015 at a nursing home in Chicago. This discovery, made by the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, has brought closure to relatives and friends, and revealed mysteries about Reba’s life, including how she became homeless with no recollection of her past. The next step is to honor her with a new gravestone and military honors.
