Brenda Gonzalez Jackson was last seen Jan. 3 after a relative dropped her off at her home in the 200 block of Arcadia Street

Brenda Gonzalez Jackson, a 31-year-old mother of six and Iraq war veteran, went missing more than a week ago after she was dropped off at her suburban Park Forest home.

Family members said the disappearance is out of character for the young mom, noting she would never leave her children behind.

“Anybody who knows her has even mentioned this is out of character for her,” said Jackson’s mother, Maria Gonzalez. “This isn’t what she would do unless she was harmed or was forced to do it.”

Jackson was last seen Jan. 3 after a relative dropped her off at her home in the 200 block of Arcadia Street. She was reported missing two days later.
