6130 S Wolcott Ave, Chicago, IL 60636, USA
Summary: Frederica Marshall reported receiving a phone call from offenders claiming to have robbed a bank and to be holding her daughter, Ohemma Marshall, for ransom. The call was made from Ohemma's phone, but the location of the offenders was unknown. Police responded to Lindblom Academy, where the daughter was supposed to be. The situation was treated with caution as it could be a spoofed call. School administration was reportedly unhelpful, and police attempted to contact the mother and the daughter, whose phone went directly to voicemail.
