The Cold Case of Seven Doe

The Cold Case of Seven Doe

At the outskirts of a Chicago Catholic cemetery, a modest cement cylinder with the numbers 04985 marks the final resting place of an elderly individual. The individual, known only as Seven, passed away in 2015 in a nursing home, their life shrouded in mystery, including their own name.

Recently, a specialized police unit focusing on missing persons and cold cases uncovered a remarkable discovery in their investigation, one that stands out in the history of the Cook County sheriff’s office. Through the use of post-mortem fingerprints, they identified Seven as Reba C. Bailey, a 75-year-old Illinois veteran who had been missing since the 1970s.

This breakthrough has provided closure to generations of Bailey's relatives and friends. However, the investigation has also revealed deeper enigmas. It remains unclear how Reba, who served in the Women’s Army Corps and grew up in a large family, ended up homeless and without memories, except for a persistent desire to be known as a man named Seven.

Public records, interviews, newspapers, and police investigations have shed some light on the individual who led a dual existence, even though much about their life remains a mystery. The next step for investigators is to provide proper recognition with a new headstone and military honors.
