30-year-old Lyubov Bilyk

(Portland Police Bureau)

Portland police are asking for the public’s help to locate a missing 30-year-old Southeast Portland woman.

Lyubov Bilyk (pronounced Loo-bov Bill-ick) was reported missing Monday after she failed to return home on Saturday. She was last seen that morning at her home in the 2200 block of Southeast Umatilla Street at around 5 a.m.

Sgt. Pete Simpson, a spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau, said Bilyk may be suffering from a medical condition that could require immediate attention. Some of the woman’s personal items were found on the ground near her home by a passerby.

Investigators said there was no evidence of foul play.

Bilyk is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds. She has brown hair and green eyes and no eyebrows, but sometimes draws them in with makeup.

She usually wears large, dark-colored sunglasses. Bilyk is Russian, but is fluent in English with a strong accent. She may have left home with a small, rolling carry-on bag.

Anyone who knows of Bilyk's whereabouts is asked to immediately call 911.

Anyone with additional non-emergency information about this case can contact Det. Mike Weinstein at 503-823-0446, or via emia, mike.weinstein@portlandoregon.gov.
