Missing in the Midwest: The Disappearance of Wendy Gessing

Missing in the Midwest: The Disappearance of Wendy Gessing

Fifty-year-old Wendy Gessing was last seen on June 12, 2021, during her shift at Pizzas By Marchelloni in Crest Hill, Illinois. She told a coworker she was stepping out to give someone a ride and would be right back… but she never returned. Her vehicle was later found in Joliet, and her phone was recovered in Romeoville, leaving a timeline that still hasn’t been fully explained. Years later, the question remains…what happened to Wendy Gessing?

In this episode of Case Uncovered, I continue the Tuesday bonus series Missing in the Midwest, highlighting missing persons cases across Illinois and the Midwest to bring renewed awareness for families still searching for answers.

Case Uncovered is a part of the non-profit The Reignited Project. I founded The Reignited Project, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting families of the missing and murdered through advocacy, education, and resources. After walking through a missing persons case within my own family, that mission became even more personal. We are now developing the Linda Brown Advocacy Protocol, a trauma-informed initiative designed to help families navigate the early stages of a missing persons case with clarity and support.
