Zion, IL – A renewed push is underway in Lake County to locate Angelisa Rivera-Ruiz, a woman who went missing nearly four years ago after being seen running into a wooded area in Zion.
According to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, Rivera-Ruiz was last seen on November 16, 2020, when she was 24 years old. Authorities say she was wearing a blue Adidas track suit and was spotted entering a large wooded area in Zion. She has not been heard from since.
Now 28, Rivera-Ruiz is described as a Hispanic/Latina female, 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing approximately 120 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.
