A Chicago teacher vanished, leaving behind her car, a ringing phone, and mounting questions about her final movements.She left her Bronzeville home on a Saturday morning, planning to attend an acupuncture session she never missed, but 53-year-old Linda Brown never made it. What should have been a peaceful weekend routine spiraled into a disturbing mystery now gripping the city.A dedicated special education teacher at Robert Healy Elementary School, Linda was last seen on January 3 near the 4500 block of South Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. She was supposed to head across town to the 2200 block of West North Avenue in Wicker Park, a trip she’d taken countless times before. This time, she vanished.
Her husband, Antwon Brown, told police the last time he saw Linda was the night before, sometime before midnight. She was in bed, like any normal Friday. When he woke up around 8:30 a.m. to head to a boxing class, he believed Linda had already left.But that morning, she never arrived. Linda was believed to be driving a blue Honda Civic, license plate CX57470. Police later confirmed that the vehicle had been located and towed by the Chicago Police Department, but have not disclosed its location. According to family members, the car was undamaged.
