The Village of Homewood is asking for the public’s assistance in finding Nancy O’Sullivan, a young woman who was last seen on March 7, 1974. She was reported missing on March 8, 1974.
On the 51st anniversary of her disappearance, Homewood Police Chief Denise McGrath is renewing efforts to bring answers to a case that has remained unsolved for over five decades.
Nancy O’Sullivan was 15 years old when she was last seen in Homewood or South Holland. Over the years, multiple accounts have surfaced regarding her last known whereabouts, but no definitive answers have been found.
McGrath, who first encountered the case as a detective sergeant, has remained committed to uncovering the truth and believes that public awareness may generate new leads.
“This case has never been forgotten,” said Chief McGrath. “We believe that someone out there knows something — perhaps a detail that seemed insignificant at the time but could now be the missing piece to this puzzle. We urge anyone with information to come forward.”
Authorities encourage anyone with knowledge of Nancy O’Sullivan’s disappearance to contact the Homewood Police Department. Even the smallest piece of information could be critical in providing closure to her family.
For tips or additional information, please email [email protected] or call 708-206-3373.
Note: The story was updated March 5 to reflect a clarification from village officials about the date of Nancy O’Sullivan’s disappearance.
