Two days after Christmas, on Sunday, December 27, 1998, it’s reported that 22-year-old Lovace Simmons celebrated the holiday season by spending time with her boyfriend. She attended a party at his home in Chicago, Illinois, and was seen leaving the residence by partygoers.
Lovace reportedly stated that she was going straight home and didn’t plan to meet anyone or make any stops. However, her mother raised an alarm after Lovace didn’t report to work the following day, on Monday.
Lovace has never been seen or heard from again. Unfortunately, readily available information about her case is scarce, if not altogether unavailable.
