May 04--Chicago police on Wednesday updated information on when and where a missing medical student was last seen before disappearing two weeks ago.
Police originally had said Ambrose Monye, 28, a medical student at a university in Guadalajara, Mexico, was last seen in the area of Jackson Park Hospital, at 7531 S. Stony Island Ave. on April 21, according to police. Police on Wednesday released an updated missing person bulletin on Monye, saying that he was last seen April 22 in the area of 55th Street and Lake Park Avenue.
Monye's brother Joseph said last week that the last time he heard from him, the pair talked about their clinical rotations at Jackson Park Hospital on April 21. Ambrose Monye had given his younger brother, who is also a student at the Guadalajara university, advice on the internal medicine rotation.
He is known to frequent University of Chicago's John Crerar Library, at 5730 S. Ellis Ave., as well as coffee shops in the Hyde Park neighborhood, according to the original alert from the Chicago Police Department. Monye lives in the neighborhood a few blocks away from the campus, Joseph Monye said.
Ambrose Monye was finishing up his rotations and was getting ready to graduate next month from the medical school, according to his brother, who reported him missing on April 24. Ambrose had already purchased tickets to his graduation that is taking place in about four weeks.
"He was excited for graduation," Joseph Monye said. "There was no reason to think anything was going on."
Monye is 5-foot-10 and weighs 180 pounds. He has brown eyes, black hair and a medium complexion.
When he disappeared, an air conditioner and a fan was on in his apartment in the 5500 block of South Everett Avenue. The refrigerator was full of groceries he'd recently purchased.
Anyone with information about Monye's whereabouts is asked to call Area Central detectives at 312-747-8380.
