Between 2016 and 2017, four young Black residents of Chicago Lawn — Joanna Wright, Marlo Gulley, Chante Bohanan, and Kenosohn Ward — disappeared or were killed within just 15 months of each other. All were last seen or found within blocks of the same neighborhood. All were loved. And all four cases remain unsolved.

In this episode of Vanished Voices, we trace each timeline — from Kenosohn’s fatal shooting in Marquette Park… to Chante’s frantic final phone call… to Joanna’s forced abduction in broad daylight… to Marlo’s disappearance after he left to meet someone near 64th & Campbell and never returned.

Although authorities did not officially link these cases until 2023, the patterns in geography, proximity, and social circles raise troubling questions… and the families have been asking them for years.

Why did four lives in the same neighborhood end — or vanish — without justice?
Did fear silence witnesses?
And how can four families, all grieving with no answers, be left waiting this long?

Through verified reporting, publicly available quotes, and careful investigation, we illuminate the lives behind the headlines and the silence surrounding their cases. Because these four individuals were more than file numbers — they were children, siblings, partners, and friends. Their stories deserve to be told, and their families deserve answers.
