The Chicago community is thrown into concern as the police department has issued a report on the disappearance of an 81-year-old African-American male, William Kemp, who was last seen on July 15th in the vicinity of 106th and Drew, his last known contact before seemingly vanishing without a trace. The Chicago Police Department, urgently seeking any leads that could help in locating Kemp, urged anyone with information to come forward.
Kemp, described as being 5 feet 10 inches tall, around 140 pounds, with brown eyes and gray hair, might be disoriented or lost according to the notification, which was circulated widely in the hope that local residents might aid in the search effort for the elderly citizen; unfortunately, the specificity regarding his clothing at the time he went missing was not provided, which possibly complicates the search, due to lack of detail might impact the public's ability to recognize Kemp.
Residents of the area and those who may have traveled through 106th and Drew are being asked to recall any encounters with Kemp, who is recognized in his community and would be remembered if seen. The Chicago Police's Area Two Special Victims Unit has taken charge of the case and their detectives are available at (312) 747-8274 for helpful tips, with the department also advising that 911 be called immediately should Kemp be located or sighted.
Kemp's disappearance is particularly alarming given his advanced age, and the authorities haven't ruled out that he may require medical assistance or that he could be experiencing confusion over his surroundings. Community members have been responding with concern; flyers are being distributed and shared not just in physical format, but digitally as well through a link to the Chicago Police Department's official page concerning the case.
