Now we re close family. We steer stay in touch but more

then they stayed in my building within your came a missing their day. At now, the evening of june, twenty fifth, Nineteen eighty three was a warm one and vignettes parents Cathy and albert had decided to take a break for the night, hoping for a reprieve from the busy shuffle of working as well as parenting food. young children, as evening settled in they got ready to leave for a movie. When we spoke to Cathy, she does ride what she remembers from that night thirty six years ago. Ok, what I love Indeed, wanna go out a loved one. You go out, I'm gonna be gaps for key edge. You know, I need a break. You knowledge, sculpture, movie, you lack of everyone we wait. We took our charity, I gave him all that labor with my mother or his mom, and so I bake and make compared to men, He said, okay, and I told him that guy

but hey what bush put daughters was fun to come down. They get her later and he said okay, and so my mother was there my two sisters, my brother mk, and it was chiefly neighbours on the galleries. Rabbit shaded projects is the small ports, a step. Of course they called it again. and it was hot out in every, was without playing cards and needs of the key is out, I want to say we level Now, eight thirty there, my mom was written outside the parliament. The labour members flower was holding up. She lives right next door as she was holding yeah. Some of that are, and they said my mother got a phone call, but nobody

I don't love but gave one another? But my mother, so that left my problem, muck of and in the fifty neighbors and edna slow, was still home didn't yet, and they say she decided to get up and go with that and to heart dishes. Take a look at the edge of my mother. She killed at a highway elaborate chest in ocean down that our and whatever The two additional I've been sitting there and my barbara was player to carve at left like cook, with just seven and watch the one. That's for sure- and I don't know how well she had been missing the one they discovered they ve been yet was not there for everybody,

Looking for that labour guy, this came again it didn t I love bad. Then he felt that they didn't have on this role. when they realise that the toddler was missing, vignettes family for thought that she may have been picked up by another relative everyone said, they hadn't seen her. So a search- building was set in motion. family members, neighbours and other residents had already started going door to door checking the new, by buildings and looking everywhere they could think for lily. vignette, but there was no, trace of the toddler. One of care he's lingering frustrations over all these years has been that she doesn't know the details of what transpired that evening- or the neighbour would have set vignette down in the busy hallway to go into her up men and wash dishes. When we spoke with her, she planed. What she believes happened with the neighbour in the sky,

the lay out of the apartment. They say she said by the hallway and one in five. Oh probably, no bagginess at the hallway shared her down. You know we feel trying to freak out after thirty c sheer. Why would she settled by the hallway? Why did she just take her to my mother? That question has never been I believe that the main couldn't even after the question, do I blame or hold her. Now the big man. The same thing could have happened to me, so I can't whole letter here yet been made, but I we just don't know why she never took her to my mother, knowing she was born in her apartment to a dish. We see or find that strange, but it may have

you know so I had to make sure does she know that I didn't hold that an answer that I stayed in touch with her. She settled down by the houthi are on t apartment was by the hallway. It was a door. There was the hallway, but her apartment was there. The highway do. I guess it always state as regards visible not on the interval and out of the hall door.

Cathy and Albert returned It was the early morning, hours of Sunday june, twenty six in the building still alive with the sounds of residents bustling through the hallways, but something

Wasn't right, as if he soon realized wasn't just the weekend buzz of neighbours, and there were woman yelling her name asking. If she her baby confused? The inner husband went up to their apartment, hoping that this was all. Just simply a misunderstanding it is going on in my name. I love it look out a medium term or more Do you have your baby. Right now my baby and be a fleet that she'd, like no your babyish measure, a watershed, maybe one I got a nightmare. It was like I was in a trance. and you know what I've got a job Look at my mother, say said my mother allows face had lived here that it was true, so I went back out the door one from florida, you're, not really embarrassing. My baby relation. it now and now

they love a nightmare for thirty species, Kathy Doesn't remember if the police had already arrived on scene when she and her husband got home or if they came later according to the port. We received from the chicago police department police arrived at, the building where vignettes family resided at ten thirty p m and conducted to the apartments and other air as in their search for the missing baby. There isn't anything further in the report that gives us any information about what police found or how continued their investigation? when we were researching this story? We looked for news articles from back when vignette disappeared, hoping to find more information, but we only found one leading to a small article published thirteen pages back from the headlines of the chicago tribune. Five days after vignette had vanished.

Police on tuesday continued an intensive search for one and a half year old, vignette t teague who disappeared over the weekend, continues on quoting the chicago police sergeant as saying that, while he would not speculate that there may have been foul play the choice, It should have turned up by now, been no ransom demands and no one has contacted the mother we know can, the isn't entirely sure who called the police when no one could vignette and doesn't remember if they were already there when she and her husband arrived home, which she as vividly recall, are the police interviews that began soon after she and her family were taken to the local police station after they had arrived. Back home and donate took him and and a camp was there too. We are referring want me dead. My article we'll have to come in and get me and my girlfriend and take her for Saturday. My awkward been like what

They were fan about my her than in my family, the santa Maria flung back and took vignette and hidden like the way was treated me how he noticed something I would never do. they must family they load. All I ever wanted in life was a little girl you know.

Do what I do want to miss Loud thing out was guilty of leaving my baby, but the best person in the world, which was, now, when you leave your baby, which you know that's the best part, even in the face of long hours, of course, Turning and what felt like unrelenting accusations. Cathy did her ass to remember that the police were only there to do their jobs. However, there's one encounter from the police interviews that Cathy remembers as being particularly cold hearted rademacher gave me an unwelcome lady calling saw sulfur, but I guess she forced to be the gold. were far whatever cost you like it. I can't bigger her now. My lord, I never want to see them. The clean up of targeted and maybe a gear, you know cause the other like the way she was.

One insensitive police officer didn't get to Cathy, though she was able to recover to us. The many positive experiences and memories she has of the chicago police, as well as the fbi who she taught almost immediately began working on vignettes case. Then the affair Nor lay came in twenty four hours later or less than twenty four hours, Well, I just came in, and you know they just help tomorrow

Children need make sure he came near and he my high hand, and he made vignette his baby for five years and then, when he couldn't take it no longer, he gave it to another. Wonderful me, a charm,

it could. As the investigation continued vignettes picture was put on posters, grocery bags, t shirts and just about anything kathy and her sister Dorothy could think of to ensure her photo was posted around the chicago area. When we spoke to Kathy, Mr Dorothy. She told us about some of their efforts to make sure that they spread the word about the missing toddler, as well as all different ways. They tried to find information we look for this baby. We you know we want to see, I mean. we want to see cited. We want to see hi readers, you what is here grandfather.

that money in her there. Other times at Cathy received information about vignette being alive, Dorothy told about some of the times that she and Cathy learned of a child that might be the missing toddler. Whilst I could go to this, she was adapted baffled doctors, but basically what I It found a people gather a really believe. Whoever made the papers that somebody made a birth certificate that here everything to go with them for they really taking. It was legit. Fear. Today was raising her and said ass. He played for and also will not disappear after the fact. The total debt and and if you could hear, play the piano and was glad to see total There's a daughter don't be, a nurse was gone for, nursing, a family and work in a hospital. She talk at the

When the sea a one day say, will you when you see her she's gonna know you and you're gonna know her, but if ever happened yet police continued their work on vignettes case to Cathy told us at the pump. He talked to many people in their search, but didn't come up with much in the end. What I cost you a lot of people couldn, t ass, you know even area near that they say toilet they seen a man in a year or the year after he got ground. He came back. I fear the lad. I just wanted a chance. He never fallen nobody saw our notice what they came back and told me well, it was little of laugh. A lot of people want to be famous figure who wanted to have something to say sand there are what they are young black guy in them, and they were convinced me I did, he was my love void- demand it now me and I did not believe dorothy and

they spent nearly all of their free time, looking for vignette in the ship, go metropolitan area, but as with so many families with a missing loved one, all the time and effort spent looking for vignette, took a toll on Cathy's marriage, the police. In her use had cast suspicion on cathy and albert separately and according to kathy albert began to believe the insinuations made by police and giving credit who, by his family after several years, their marriage broke up and albert left another obstacle for cathy to overcome in the search for her daughter. as he believes that vignette was taken by someone who wanted a child of their own to raise and that she is alive and well unaware that she has missed and loved by a family. She doesn't remember when we talked with her. Told us how she believe someone could have gotten away with vignette, what do you know what they probably saw, someone with her

how'd. You know that was my baby, and this was a strange one, whoever it was by her harlan. They she'll tell phrase there were no. She was screaming because she didn't let people sure she. Never really. You know, want my mother to touch her as she just had her pick of peoples at that age. You know so we loose this claim in on the cover face and whoever it was he put it down, so they couldn't see, update tat. doesn't know of anyone who would have wanted to harm her or who I've wanted to take vignette, but on a bit we can night in a crowded residential building, it's impossible to know everyone who was hanging around the world, taylor, homes or constructed at sixteen stories, each in long structures in the sun the building were to elevators and two stairwells, which could have restricted the number of exits from the seventh floor,

We're vignette and her family had been that evening, being that it was so busy that night that could have made taking a toddler in a crime much easier as no one would have been able to hear her cries, and witnesses may not have realised that vignette didn't belong with this person, but kidnapping attack there would be no easy feet on such a warm weekend evening when residents were spending their time outside enjoying the company and the weather. How could nowhere have seen anything Dorothy also believes that vignette was abducted and told us that, while she doesn't believe the crime was planned, the design. the building would have lent itself too quickly, leaving with a small child? You know in the project every badges out on the on on the corridor and they play cards all the time. The current table that is in a card table see in in order for anybody to go down the stairs. You'd have to say, excuse me about it. You have to get up and let you back

Now the elevator was in a similar way. He could about away it's just the elevator open and she's got an elevator, but I don't think nobody planned it no come to nobody. It was something that kept it, and I have decided last minute that David out didn't like there was no advertise, we goin out for iD, you know so, don't know, last minute thing to do. They did No, no. I don't think it was clear that have an opportunity I don't know, but anyway, to give up hope they call him. They said as long as they don't find her if chances are she's still alive, like a fish lover, eighteen, though she pilot, or even you know it they didn't lonely, not long repair over from man. Again, you know, I don't know but I hope and pray that the man Adam thank you did. I do think he's alive somewhere, but where I haven't the slightest idea,

Had I been she those chicago marcus gap? allow we hung preachers law behind pitches everywhere we on its adoption We want a restaurant half journal stores. I maybe just put a purchase everywhere weeks. Bigger if you haven't been anywhere in chicagoland, oh we noticed her face was taken away. I think she was taken out What can be out of a law was sure did some, take off with vignette that evening, an escape without being seen when we spoke with dorothy. She told us about. chilling story of an incident they observed. While they were handing out flyers this serves as a reminder that anything can happen in front of a crowd of people. There will be when did this happen, tell you We were a poor hall. I live, old man well dressed in everything. He was back in. Only through how,

Hey I'm in his pocket. You gotta be a nervous shaking then move out of pocket, anyway this young girl came out, she was actually the package and the old man fell down. Please tell me, as you spare me as you didn't stop. And the blood all over here, and let me guess you stand then looking them. Let them mother young lady harmonies green screaming, bear about it with a viable something. But you know we didn't Let me guess them. Unfair, welcome, moving picture and the only thing Well, a young man gave the young girl a jacket and told her I'd. Put the jacket on and she put the jacket on and went round the corner came back when the police came. There was after what happened to this matter. really a an older man. You know ask him about the arab world. people in the pool wow, I couldn't believe it I'm looking like, I don't believe is I had been

picture the mire em up. I was showing into one of the compromise. Were blue wildwood me. I will tell you what, for he won't. We are driving the falcon amount. The pictures of commerce What about the near future down with me, and I told him after the young lady ass, she came back home in this dream, theirs. It, definitely get back there. when the matter, what the man after made it is there if I were she'll want their bit me. open a jacket, obviously all the blood. I suppose I don't have nothing to do just because I'm going through enough myself, we haven't I do not want to be involved and may again and the girl? Now even but I've gotta use every bad get big mouth yet every bad. now what happened, but we know about it up as some bad fell vignette and they would matter.

If you listen to the show for a while. You probably know that many of the families that we ve worked with are often ray victimize during their search efforts. Sadly, Cathy was exception to this awful practice. She told about some of the horrible experiences she's had you know they were just but you know people's I'll say. I've heard your baby was cut up on top of churches, chicken, a green tabby spake somebody- I call for a whole month to put up a baby on the that probably was a baby, but if I found out later was a baby da I put the baby die alone. Lab ireland, mom mom, mom, mom mom there, like a globally right, then went out I have to tell the police you lot. I wouldn't check into what into alpha at the camp fire me. a choice I pay for choice to be put on. My pal

but in the real lash there's somebody was doing that was called me much been kidnapped in there a big screen and mommy mommy. That charge me alone and that way it came from shows like what they didn't do anything about their book calls the stop at the date out that way it was coming from, but I feel I shouldn't have to pay to put a trace. Oh, my father was a you, some bad. It was Lastly, a baby screen the mumbling mommy, because cat wasn't home when vignette vanished her recollect of events is based on what other family members, neighbours and others told her took place that night, while she and her husband were out seeing a movie and entire The different story can be found in the small news peace that was published in the chicago tribune, a few days after vignette disappeared, which said that count

He had gone up to another floor to visit with friends. We be certain about how this misinformation was circulated in if he may never know which version of vignette story is true, or what actually happened to her, because no one who was there that evening has come forward to share what they saw heard or remember. Cathy means in a relationship with her two sisters and brother that we're home on the evening. The her mother was watching vignette when she disappeared and though it seems the call to keep going without answers. Can values the time she has with her family members and accepts that everyone has handled this tragedy differently. We alone a body. The same anything right now the day, my folks with them don't talk about it cause. They can't remember that it messed them up they're, not right aid. Not they are never the right. You know from my curve until my brother does, for people life changed that day as well,

my and I have to let them know that don't hold ever give them, so I shall stay close to them, for they will feel that blame in them and all these years, but they blame them sale and they just can't get over it. So they don't talk about it. I t s, don't talk about it, they just come and they just fit my boys to every year for her birthday and anniversary. They just be that they make that our special day wait: I'll do anything you used to do belongs in case, but I'm afraid you know is that here now, not only to do any better anymore. During research into the story we made. Multiple attempts over four months to contact the chicago police department. the intention of asking for an interview that could possibly answer some of our questions. We

need to learn more about the basic timeline of events, the night that vignette disappeared and to clear up the confusion cos by the cloud of time. As of this date. No, it has returned our calls or answered our emails. We also filed an open records request which was granted, but to date we have only received a too age supplementary report which stocking someone who came forward claiming to be vignette. According to the report, the police, emailed cat, a photo of the young woman to ask if she could be vignette. The report remains open ended as us six years ago awaiting cathy's response, those told us that she remembers receiving this photo and it was not vignette. The preacher did was talking about. Yes, they did send it to me, and ah largely what only then will the marquise went with me. My boy, Not really wanted her to be sure.

Don't try to make it but love you got my boy. Why do they showed their day was trying to plan a resemblance her? There was no, then, let's see aware- and I had another woman from their loyalty- and she wanted to be yet to Gaza. Com is heartbreaking when it comes to death, you're, hoping to guess all open on the english Indeed, you know people want to give me what you, because they say why Do you know where she her when you have a fainter year, and I have this flame to their model, oh mamma, who are is baddies who are family traits of our strong, our a shawl. we also tried, speaking to the national center for missing and exploited children, about vignette story who asked us to make our asked via email or email requests.

gone unanswered. We had hoped to speak to a retired detail. If he was working on vignettes case for years, the women reached out to his current organisation. We received the following: thanks for reaching out, but will have to refer you to law enforcement. our consultants deploy to assist law enforcement and we never discuss individual cases working on visas. Story- sometimes it felt like everyone except Cathy, had stopped looking for her It wasn't just law enforcement that wouldn't respond ass, we ran two dead ends everywhere we looked hoping for one news report or one person We talk to us about the baby who vanished and whose identity and story seem to vanish with her ear in the immediate aftermath of her disappearance, the media rarely mentioned vignette. In fact, the shock The tribune mentioned her only once in nineteen eighty three and that short goal, that I shared with you earlier. That seemed

peace says the following of Cathy. She was unemployed and unmarried, and she lived in part at the chicago housing authorities, Robert taylor homes, on the south side, when we spoke to me the she had a response to those things that were written about her in the one news: peace ever written about vignette at the time of her disappearance, while freedom one of those vote what they wanted to write to make our story I even said I would marry boosting our will enable new we would marry. You know, show a dead man, what nobody wrote about those who fear that what did she know they make up lash, you know every guy and he made up a whole lot. Alas, what it was ok, eleven, Nobody and all of that I'm like that was the version of who I was just the cost of living. The five digits because we live in the project did me.

In the decade since there has only been sporadic mention of her name in any newspapers nation wide. Just when it sir that vignette story had been whisper waiting to be given a voice. We found a loan chicago reporter, Regina Waldrip. She shares some of the same passions that we do here on the show and often highly local missing persons, cases that haven't gotten any media attention. We spoke to her.

this story and asked her how she learned about vignette. So to be honest, I have a sister who is in her late fifties and she is homeless, and sometimes we don't know where she is and I try to make maintain contact with her every few weeks I hadn't heard from her, so I reached out to the missing persons group on facebook and it it's called the cook county, missing persons and they were working with me to try to find my sister and while I was looking on their page, I thought that vignette had been missing for more than thirty years and then I reached out to the woman who put the facebook page together and she will like you need to call her mother. She didn't know her anniversary is coming up. You should do a story about that and that's how I got the ball rolling so immediately. I started looking for stories that we had done at mbc years ago and unfortunately, I couldn't find any. We never covered this woman's story. That's the sad part in all of this. We went through archive and archive

at two managers, media managers, that's what they call they're called. I had them trying to help me. We couldn't find anything on this little girl who went missing some thirty six years ago, like us, Regina, was surprised that vignette story hadn't really been covered by the local media and wanted to sure, this changed right away. She reached out to yes mam. Cathy hoping to find

a willing voice to tell her about this missing little girl. Again the woman who organized the facebook page. They call her right now, so I called her. She picked up the phone and a second ring and she was like hi. This is kathy and I'm like kathy. My name is Regina waldorf, I'm a reporter with NBC five, and I want to tell the story of your daughter. Who's been missing more than thirty six years and she was like. Oh my goodness, I can't believe you want to want to tell her story inch in. I said yes and like your daughter matters to me- and she was like you know not a day goes by that I don't think about vignette until they come on over today and I said kathy. I can't come today because I was working on another story, but I said as soon as I clueless with my manager we're going to come to your house and we're going to talk to you we'll put this. back out there. As we approach, you know, the anniversary of the thirty sixth anniversary of her disappearance, Regina did talk with Cathy and she shared some of what cathy is told her and which

he's learned about vignette. She told me detectors kept all of her all the babies clothes. The only thing she has left is one shoe one pink shoe. She said they they kept all of the baby's clothes for evidence and they never returned it over the years that she never got anything returned. You know she she told me. She often wonders what kind of woman have been yet still alive. What kind of woman she grew up to become so that when she wonders you know, as she gets older day by day, she wonders what kind of woman did my daughter grow up to be, and that's the most heartbreaking for me as a mother is to look at another mother, and I don't know, I can't answer that and see that you only have one shoe. You have one tiny shoe that you're holding onto you know, she's move placed the place and you live in another part. Man at all. She has her mother otters, but once you one shoe regina team, the team she works with with the local NBC affiliate have tried to go farther tracking down the missing pieces in vignette story

Regina, says it's been a challenge. I would hope that you know some investigator somewhere. You know would pick this case up and want to bring some new attention to it. Kathy thinks she's out there somewhere alive, you know Kathy and her heart of hearts leaves her daughters out there somewhere and has now a you know, an adult. She believes she's out there and I'm going to go with that. I know I'm going to go with what you believe she believes her daughter's still out there a lot he went back to where the robert taylor homes used to be, and now you know the business area where her building leads it's just empty land. We went back there looking and it's just empty land. Now, two thousand and seven they raised that building the buildings. No longer there it's gone, there were firemen out there practicing or doing some water drill. There's no

nothing to ever show you are a nothing native, never showed that there used to be a a project in that area. A large housing complex, nothing just empty field following the story- has inspired regina to work on showcasing other missing persons, cases that need more media attention. She That's what she feels. A media environment is like for missing people right now and how she's working against the racial. By the same it is. It is an immediate if you're, a pretty white girl who goes missing. I I think you know there's more attention paid to you. I mean this is a little black girl missing from the project. You know that that is the bias, although right now I'm run into bias right now and there's a white woman missing in brookfield. You know there's a pretty blonde woman missing in brookville and it's just the story. I don't know if it's you know I'm getting pushback even covering that story right now the gatekeepers just you know the news gatekeepers, that's what I call my idol. I don't know they. They they just are all wrong. These days are on what should be covered and what shouldn't

even with challenges remaining in working to ensure that all missing persons receive some media coverage regina says that eliminating these obstacles is part of what she feels is important in covering cases in the chicago area. I think several things happen. I I think the way newsrooms work even for me, I was told you know I love covering these cases of people missing in the chicago and cook county alone. There are so many people who are missing it's on facebook, every day that all these people are missing and I just think you've gotta be a voice in the newsroom and you've got to find a way. If you have a level one this and to be able to keep that story out there. I try to put the stories out there and I try to because we have several women missing right now we have a pregnant postal worker,

We have a mother from brookfield in her fifties and I go in and I want to be the voice. I want to be the advocate for these people who are missing, but it's kind of I I'm fighting an uphill battle. I was told last week for the woman in brookfield who's. Fifty three is missing that this becomes and it becomes white noise and people don't want to hear it. And I disagree. I disagree. It's not white noise, everybody has a mother or a loved one. Who may may you know just vanish at some point and you want those stories out there. They pique interest. I mean dateline NBC. They do the stories almost every friday, but people were missing and I think it is of interest, and if we don't tell the story as the media, then how do? How do these people? How do they ever find out what happened to their loved ones? If we don't tell the story, I've been pushing our station to do it. On my own, I've been meeting with detective who work with the cook county sheriff's department. They have

pulled case, was looking at court cases and people went missing, been pushing my station. Let's just every friday, let's focus on a certain persons missing missing. Let's try to you know you bring bring life life to these cases, but again, there's back and- and I think that's a big part of the problem- so what happened? Vignette teague on that warm summer night, more than thirty six years ago. What we do oh, is that Cathy and her husband had left vignette in the care of her grandmother while they left to go see a movie. The building was full of people that evening, including family members, friends and neighbours. Kathy was told that our mother left vignette in the care of a neighbor. While she went into her apartment to answer the phone after this, the knee percent vignette down and went to wash dishes. It was after this time that vignette disappeared. No one has come from word claiming to have seen someone take her and no one has that they saw her wandering the authorities

have not released much information about their investigation. We dont with anyone who was living in that building was ever considered a person of interest or power Simply someone who was visiting that night had someone been planning to take her and saw the right moment to make their move when her green. their got up to answer the phone. Is she alive and well with another name and identity, but no knowledge of who she actually is. Where was there's some kind of accident on her parents were gone and someone covered it because they were afraid of getting in trouble, tat he's been searching for answers for almost thirty seven years, with the hope remaining that someone who wanted a child took vignette one day she ll see her daughter and recognize her at the time of her disappearance, vignette Truly teague was eighteen months old. She was a proxy. You two feet. Eight inches Tom in wait around twenty seven pounds. She is black air and brown eyes today,

be thirty years old. If you have information about the disappearance of vignette teague. Please call the shots I'll go police department at three one, two, seven, four, seven, five, seven eight nine email so called national centre for missing and exploited children at one eight hundred the lost You know every year, I'm going to do this story and until the until the media comes over here, the cathy's no longer here every year, I'm going to do the story, you got it it's on my mammy to maya calendar right now. This and all the other. You know missing people that I've come in contact with their loved ones. I'm going to do their stories until I I bring them some justice, that's my job as a reporter. I would think part of my job when you meet kathy in person, you just you, you feel the sadness from her. You feel at her art. You know her eyes filled with sadness and just not knowing what happened to her daughter. I can't imagine I have a daughter. One of her son sent me an email he wasn't around, but he sent me

email thanking me for doing the story because she said at birth. He didn't know how they would take it. You know me doing the story, but then he sent me an email. Just thanking me on that. He was so appreciative that I had talked to his mother and I was trying to shed new light on them. The the
