Community members in West Milwaukee are being asked to keep an eye out for Monica D. Spoto, a 44-year-old woman who went missing more than a week ago. According to Fox 6, Spoto was last seen on October 18 at the Fairfield Inn, located at 4229 W. National Avenue. Despite having made plans to head towards the area near South 81st Street and West Greenfield Avenue, she hasn't been spotted or heard from since that day.
Reports from the WISN indicate, Spoto's phone is no longer receiving calls and her family's efforts to send her money have been ignored. The family, deeply troubled by this unusual silence, received a text from Spoto before she vanished, stating, "she loved them and did her best." Although the message did not indicate explicit suicidal intent, her history of drug use has increased their concern and prompted a request to authorities for a welfare check.
Spoto is described as a white female, 5'3" in height, weighing around 170 pounds with hazel eyes and brown hair, and a medium build. A tip from Fox 6 has suggested that Spoto might have been living near 81st Street and Orchard Street in West Allis, but police have not been able to make contact with anyone at that location.
In a turn of events, the West Milwaukee Police Department has confirmed that contact has been made with Spoto and the previously issued alert has been canceled. Details regarding the circumstances of her disappearance and the nature of the contact are limited, but the police have stated that they do not have ongoing concerns for her safety.
