Alexis Scott was 20 when she was last seen in the early morning hours of September 23, 2017, at a house party on Richmond Avenue in Peoria, Illinois. Witness accounts place her at the gathering between 4:00 and 6:00 a.m., with some reports suggesting she may have left on foot after 5:30 a.m., and her last known cell phone activity logged at 5:08 a.m. At the time she disappeared she was wearing a pink jacket, a half shirt, and blue jeans.

Friends and family describe a recent traumatic episode: Alexis had traveled to Las Vegas intending to work as an exotic dancer but became a victim of sex trafficking and was taken to California. She escaped, was located disoriented, and returned to Peoria. Her family fears the two events may be connected, noting the owner of the home where the party occurred was an acquaintance of the man she had gone to Las Vegas with. The Peoria Police Department lists her as endangered missing and says the investigation remains active. Community efforts include a Facebook page and ongoing appeals for information; human remains found in a nearby county in April 2026 were ruled not to be Alexis.

Did anyone attend that Richmond Avenue party or see Alexis leaving that morning and not yet speak with police?
