Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8810) and 7 other sources
Pinkie Mae Davis-Herron, a 22-year-old woman, was last seen on January 1, 1979, in Del Valle, Texas. She was heading to the Tex Golden Nugget, a motel where she worked, when she waved to some friends while driving in that direction. After that, she was never seen again. At the time of her disappearance, Pinkie was described as being 5'3" to 5'6" tall, weighing between 120 to 130 pounds, with brown or possibly black hair and hazel or brown eyes. She was also wearing a ring on the third finger of her right hand.

There are conflicting reports about the exact year of her disappearance, with some sources listing it as 1976, though the majority of records state 1979. Pinkie had married at 14 years old and had two children before divorcing in 1975. Despite the efforts of investigators, few details have emerged over the years, and her case remains unsolved.

The Travis County Sheriff's Department is still seeking information about her disappearance, and DNA is available for future investigations.
