Does anyone else thing this is all a little fishy? I mean why would she run out without her shoes and her cell phone. Not to mention why would she not take her car!!!! And besides if she truly did leave she would have somehow gotten a message to her family that she is okay. Something just doesn't add up here.

I don't believe the boyfriends story.

Showing a picture of their home does what?

I agree with you, Patches. Something's off.

Kinda of sounds "Drew Peterson" like. I hope they find her safe and sound!

I think he probably lied and said she took the gun, when in reality he probably killed her with it. No good mother in her right mind would leave her children and not try to contact anyone. Its sad but she probably is not alive :-/

It's very unfortunate in a situation like this that stories are written and possibly paint the wrong picture. I do not believe that Mr. Hosey bothered to look into this woman's history or her own police record before writing this article. Possibly could have taken a very different turn. People will naturally jump to the wrong conclusions when they read the half truths. Women are not always the victims. If her family is so concerned about her well being why are they waiting 2 weeks to organize a search? Isn't the first 48 hours the most important in finding someone?

I think first of all people need to quit making assumptions. What the newspaper failed to mention was fallenbaum is not the innocent victim they are playing her out to be. She is wanted on warrants in kankakee as well as in Wisconsin. She also has been driving on a suspended license on a regular basis. So her car shouldn't have been there in the first place.
what they also failed to mention is that fallenbaum has in the last six months posted 25+ Craigslist adds looking for men among other things. Using fake names meeting strange men. Her family has not heard from her in months and so they are trying to portray that this is out of character for her..really ...were the Craigslist ads in character? Were the picking up of men in character too???. She also actually did not live at the address, she was merely staying there out of the kindness of Mr.wolak because of her supposed apt had a mold issue. Mind you she lost her apt never leading on that she did. I also would like to add regarding her character is it in her character to give up her children for adoption and give up custody ...so really Mr newspaper reporter get ur story straight before portraying people as victims. Mr wolak missing his hard earned money is a victim ....wake up people you ever think she may be in hiding being she has warrants and is prime suspect in a major theft case!!!!!

I suppose nothing bad ever happens to criminals. If what you say is true, Mr. close, couldn't she have met up with a frickin Craigslist killer? How do you know all this stuff about her, anyway? Are you trying to direct attention away from Mr. Wolak for some reason? Even a criminal like you say she is would have grabbed her damn shoes and probably her phone when she ran out!

Yes Mr. Kissel bad things do happen to criminals THEY GET CAUGHT which is probably what she was afraid of and ran as soon as she was confronted. Clearly this is not a woman in her right mind, why would you think she would rationalize like one? Sounds to me like she's got this little operation down pat....find men...steal from them...and move on to the next one.

Mr kissell
....I personally know both parties involved. I have direct knowledge of situation.When someone is confronted and is caught red handed and told the police will and are being called they tend to scramble to get the hell away before the police arrive. Facing numerous warrants and a possibly another felony theft might make someone run quickly without grabbing anything.the scam that was being run was out of the bag and knowing ur wanted might make someone hide. There are details that Mr reporter failed to mention that would have shed more light on situation. The amount of nonsense that surrounds fellnbaum is incredible. Mr reporter needs to get all the facts before writing a story
Like the fact police were called on the night she took off running and they took sweet time to arrive. So again get all facts

This definitly follows her track record, I know of someone she pulled a similiar thing on, she has this game down pat....

Mr kissell now more details are coming out and this supposed innocent victim isn't so innocent ..her own family has said she has done this before in a news acticle from tribune. Now reports of her sex search on.Craigslist is coming out. So again get all facts before reporting

I think mr close to situation is actually Mr. Situation himself. Did the reporter have any of the facts he listed wrong, or did he just not include EVERYTHING? When you say she has done "this" before, what do you mean? Meet guys on Craigslist? Scam them or steal from them? I've heard about her meeting men online, but not stealing from them. And for her to just disappear & not pick up her son & not see or contact him for even one day is not like her, as far as I know. I really don't know what happened, but I last saw Linda just 2 nights before she dissappeared. Our kids were playing & she was laughing & playing with them. She just seemed so happy...

All of this is irrelevant! Here we have a beautiful mother of three missing. You people who are trying to destroy her character witness really need some help. I will continue to pray for sick people like you. As for the others, let's continue to pray for as safe return to her kids and family. Mr. Close to Situation and Mr. Kissell sounds like they were there on October 21st. Hmmmm???

Mrs.pastor yes the pd does have this information. And no I'm not Mr situation. Tina have you spoken with the police about seeing Linda? ? Pastor come on nobody is lying, the facts are the facts. And if they in fact are lies that would mean that the police are lying. All the facts I have stated have been verified and are the truth. Facts are as follows this is not the first time she has done this. I in fact hope she found safe.

Hummer I do not have to smear her character. She has done a great job on her own.

I'm going to say this and then leave it alone. Linda has not done a great job of smearing her characters. You characters are trying and trying hard. A few questions for Mr. Close to Situation, if Linda has not done anything to you, why would the police disclose all that info to you? Hmmm.....??? You sounds like an ex, the ex or the ex's next door lying neighbor! Also, you asked the young lady Tina if she called the PD, why would she call the PD, because she and Linda were at the park playing with their kids? DUH!!!! The reporter that took this story must have been broke himself to print something as such. He needs to look into writing a book of JOKES! The whole story is not adding up! A few things I do know and can prove that you are lying is Linda worked at certain jobs that required background checks and none of your lies showed, because she got the jobs! When you google her name, all you see is a MISSING BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MOTHER of 3! When you goole Donald Wolak's name, you see is a person who has been convicted of doing bodily harm to someone and aggravated battery. He actually made MUGSHOT.COM! That let us know that he is/was capable of hurting her. Who walks in, get into a heated agrument, take her shoes off, and then runs out without them? If she ran out of the house with no shoes, she was fleeing for safety/her life! Lastly, with his record, why is he allowed to have guns? Large sums of cash in the home? What is your/your friend's profession? Point proven!

Corrections: He is on Bustedmugshots.com! And who would take a large sum of cash and a handgun and go skipping back like Little Red Riding Hood to the big bad wolf, like nothing happened? If it was me, I would skipped out of state, not back to the spot I stole it from. That's like a bank robber robs a bank and then turns around with the same mask on a few days later to deposit it into his account. Bwahahahaha!!!! I had to laugh at these jokes!

Sorry Mr. Kissell, I misread you comments. I apologize for my first comment. I meant it for Mr. Close to Situation and Concerned.

She is someone's daughter and she deserves the same respect as anyone else. She is a mom.. she may have problems but it doesn't mean that she is less important. let's concentrate on finding her and if she has something to answer to the police will take care of it.. I am sure her family is reading this..

Mr Close to the Situation aided in killing Linda Barr Fellenbaum. Justice will prevail when these suburban hilljacks are finally caught!

The FBI needs to investigate this case. Chicagoland police are corrupt and racist and could give two sh!ts about finding a missing black woman & investigating her white trash criminal ex boyfriend

All you stupid asses who thought foul play ..who's laughing now she's been found in GA and arrested on yet more theft charges. So you idiots and know it all's can kiss my a**...karma got the bit*h..hope she gets what's coming

Where all the people at who made accusations? ?? That's what I thought chicken sh*t people can smear someone and now can't apologize..where's the families apologies to Mr wolak for accusation? ?why aren't they on news making public apologies? ?
