CHICAGO — Chicago firefighters helped a colleague’s family search for their missing 15-year-old daughter, last seen heading to Lincoln Park High School on a CTA bus Monday morning.
About 50 other firefighters and paramedics joined Fabian Muentes to canvass businesses in the neighborhood and hand out fliers about his daughter, Tisha.
Tisha, a sophomore at Lincoln Park High, was last seen leaving her grandparents’ home Monday morning. She called a friend at 7:20 a.m. Monday, saying she was on a Halsted Street bus and on her way to school, her dad said.
Her parents said she never turned up in school that day. They said she doesn’t have a boyfriend, and a quick look at her MySpace page has not turned up anything unusual.
Fabian Muentes is a firefighter at Engine No. 91. Tisha’s mother, Kristin McCluskey, is a paramedic on the city’s South Side. The couple have been divorced for 13 years.
On nights when both parents work, Tisha would spend the night at her paternal grandparents’ home.
Anyone who may have seen her is being asked to call 773-410-6611 or 773-791-8473.
