Two months after she went missing, the body of a 21-year-old Chicago woman who was last seen getting into an Uber was discovered in a laundry cart wrapped in blankets.
The death of Rosa Chacon was discovered in a Chicago suburb around the 2300 block of West 24th Place, authorities announced Wednesday.
Missing Chicago Woman Found Dead, Tied Up In Cart
Chacon was last seen getting into a ride-sharing vehicle on January 18, but she did not inform her family of her destination. She forgot her identification and coat. Chacon’s body was wrapped in a plastic bag and tied together. The cause of Chacon’s death is pending.
The victim’s mother, also called Rosa Chacon, had a brief conversation with her daughter before she went missing. Chacon did not inform her parents of her destination or who ordered the car for her, a decision her father now regrets.
Her mother reported that Chacon called her the following morning requesting transport from an unidentified location before the phone went dead.
Because of their privacy policy, Uber refused to disclose who drove Chacon the night she went missing. The victim’s family identified her body using her tattoos. Her body was discovered within a few miles of her residence.

Alejandro Guzman, Chacon’s boyfriend, told a news site that a crime must have been committed for the police to take action. Chacon was located on March 6 with the assistance of a private investigator hired by his family.
The Richart Detective Service, according to Jose L. Richart, located Chacon one week after posting a missing person poster. Richart said, “The family called our office for assistance because they were aware that Chicago has numerous similar incidents.”
The police stated, “We initiated our inquiry by acquiring Rosa Chacon’s phone records. We spoke with various people and pursued numerous leads.”
The city of Chacon is currently offering a prize of $15,000 for information leading to the arrest of her killer.
