Elgin police are asking for the public's help locating a 13-year-old girl who was last seen leaving her home on the 1900 block of Castle Pines Circle last Friday. Madison Beese has brown eyes, auburn/red hair, multiple facial piercings, and a tattoo reading “loyalty” on her right wrist, according to the description released by investigators. She is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds.
Officers were dispatched to the Castle Pines Circle address on September 11 to investigate a report of a juvenile runaway, according to the Elgin Police Department. The department says Beese was last observed leaving her home that day, and the case has been logged as EPD #2026-55416.
Family Asked Detectives to Go Public
Detectives with the department's Major Investigations Division contacted Beese's family as part of the investigation, and the family requested that the information be shared with the community, per the department's account. The post does not specify what led investigators to reach out to relatives beyond that contact.
A post from the Threads account @chicagomissingcases circulating the case specified that Beese went missing on September 11, “NOT the 12th,” and noted she may possibly be in the Chicagoland area. The account urged anyone with information to contact Elgin police or dial 911.
How to Report Information
Elgin police can be reached directly at 847-289-2700 for anyone with information about Beese's whereabouts. Community members can also text tips to 847411, provided the message begins with “elginpd,” per the department's post.
