Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Had a stroke and identity has not been determined. "Shannon Night," who suffered a stroke and has organic brain damage, lives at Chicago Read Mental Health Center on the Northwest Side. Though he appears lucid, details of his past escape him. He has an arrest record in Cook County, but he gives various names and aliases, including variations of Shannon Night, records show. The guardian's office has the first name Sanane Night as an alternative spelling. He has been in state care since 2007. The soft-spoken man believes he has a son and possibly a wife. He carries a red folder — inside he writes notes in an effort to jog his memory. Also in the folder is a handmade greeting card he hopes to give to the son he believes he has. He says of remembering his past: "I'm working on it." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-john-does-20120221,0,1810787.story?page=1
