Jennie Heredia Disappears From Milwaukee

Jennie Marie Heredia was 45 years old when she was last seen on July 5, 2022, on Milwaukee’s south side.

According to FOX6 Milwaukee’s original August 2022 report, police said Jennie was last seen at approximately 5:00 p.m. near 14th and Mineral. At the time, police described her as a Hispanic woman who stood approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighed about 165 pounds, and had brown hair and brown eyes.

What happened to Jennie after that sighting has not been publicly established.

Police Asked the Public for Help

Milwaukee police publicly sought assistance locating Jennie in August 2022, roughly a month after her last known sighting.

The initial FOX6 Milwaukee report stated that Jennie was not considered critically missing at that time. That designation should not be interpreted to mean authorities had determined she was safe; it described how police classified the missing-person report at that point in the investigation.

Jennie apparently never returned to public contact. The Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Children & Adults now states that she has not been seen or heard from since July 2022 and that there is concern for her safety.

Few Details About Her Disappearance Have Been Released

One of the most striking aspects of Jennie’s case is how little information has been made public.

There is no publicly documented account establishing where Jennie intended to go after she was last seen, what she was wearing, whether she had a vehicle with her, or what investigators believe happened after approximately 5:00 p.m. on July 5.

The Charley Project similarly notes that few details about the disappearance are publicly available.

Because of those gaps, claims about what may have happened to Jennie should be treated as speculation unless confirmed by investigators or other reliable evidence.

Jennie’s Case Later Reached National Missing-Person Databases

Jennie’s disappearance eventually gained additional visibility beyond the original Milwaukee-area reporting.

Her case is now identified in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under NamUs MP136300. Milwaukee Police Department’s associated agency case number has been reported as 222010206.

CaseTrace also lists Jennie among missing people associated with Milwaukee and identifies the same NamUs case number.

A Wisconsin missing-person advocacy site published a dedicated case page for Jennie in March 2025, again reporting that she disappeared near 14th and Mineral at approximately 5:00 p.m. on July 5, 2022.

Family and Community Attention Continued

Public discussion surrounding Jennie’s disappearance did not end with the initial 2022 news coverage.

A Websleuths discussion created in January 2025 collected Jennie’s case information and links to the original news coverage. A contributor to that discussion reported in February 2025 that members of Jennie’s extended family were continuing to post about her on Facebook. That information comes from a community discussion rather than law enforcement and should therefore be distinguished from officially verified investigative information.

The continued circulation of Jennie’s photograph and case information has nevertheless helped keep attention on a disappearance for which relatively little information has been publicly released.

Jennie Heredia Added to The Charley Project

Another significant public development came on January 17, 2026, when Jennie’s case was added to The Charley Project, a long-running missing-person case database.

The entry lists Jennie as missing from Milwaukee since July 5, 2022 and repeats the last-known location near 14th and Mineral at approximately 5:00 p.m. The page identifies the Milwaukee Police Department as the investigating agency.

The addition did not announce a new investigative breakthrough, but it increased the number of established missing-person resources documenting Jennie’s disappearance.

Latest Publicly Available Information

As of September 2026, the Wisconsin Department of Justice Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Children & Adults continues to publicly list Jennie Heredia as a missing person. Its current listing identifies Milwaukee as both the city from which she disappeared and her last-known location.

The state’s current missing-person poster also continues to identify her case as NamUs MP136300 and asks anyone with information to contact the Milwaukee Police Department or Wisconsin Clearinghouse.

I found no reliable public announcement indicating that Jennie has been found, and no reliable public source reviewed for this article identifies her disappearance as a confirmed homicide.

Likewise, no publicly reported arrest, suspect, criminal charge, or confirmed explanation for Jennie’s disappearance was located in the sources reviewed.

For that reason, Jennie Marie Heredia should continue to be regarded as a missing person whose whereabouts remain unknown, rather than as a confirmed homicide victim.

What Happened to Jennie Marie Heredia?

The publicly known circumstances remain remarkably limited: Jennie was seen near 14th and Mineral on Milwaukee’s south side at approximately 5:00 p.m. on July 5, 2022, and afterward she was no longer seen or heard from.

Years later, her case remains listed by Wisconsin authorities.

Someone may have information that appears insignificant but could help investigators reconstruct Jennie’s movements after her final known sighting. Anyone with information concerning Jennie Marie Heredia or her whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Milwaukee Police Department at 414-935-7405 or the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Children & Adults at 1-800-843-4673.
