Morgan Farley is home.
For two months, her father, sister, and friends were relentless in their search. They took to the streets of Chicago, social media, and locator apps to find her. And earlier this month, Morgan safely returned to the home she shares with her father.
“Morgan made it home a couple weeks ago. ,” Whitney Wade, Morgan’s sister, wrote Capital B in a text on Thursday.
Further details about how Morgan is doing and where she has been since April 3 were not immediately provided. Capital B has also reached out to Sam Farley, Morgan’s father, for comment.
The Black and Missing Foundation has updated Morgan’s missing person flyer to “GREAT NEWS”. The Chicago Police Department has reclassified Morgan’s case as closed and with no criminality involved, a spokeswoman told Capital B in an email on Thursday.
“We are currently working to figure out how to get her the mental health support that she needs,” Wade wrote.
For months, Farley has prayed for his 25-year-old daughter’s homecoming. Prior to Morgan’s disappearance, she had experienced a mental health crisis and was diagnosed with depression. After filing out a police report, Farley felt discouraged sitting at home not actively looking for her. She was still in the early stages of managing her new diagnosis, and that was Farley’s major concern.
Most of his interactions with the police were not supportive, he said in a previous interview. That didn’t surprise him. Family and the community mostly provided him with updates, and he kept his prayer circle on speed dial after each one became available. Meanwhile, Wade and her friends chased reliable leads that came from increased visibility about Morgan’s disappearance on social media, surveillance apps, and in the media.
Reported sightings were less than 5 miles from their home in Morgan Park. A month after she went missing, Capital B reached out to Farley for an update to see if those sightings put him at ease that she wasn’t abducted.
He paused for a bit, scoffed, and replied, “Maybe.”
“Even in my conversations with God, it has been like: ‘OK, Lord, not just bring her home, she needs help. Her coming home without getting any help, that’s not going to help the situation,’” Farley previously told Capital B. “So, that’s been my prayer with my God.”
