Ginny Miles was 26 when she disappeared from Peoria, Illinois, in December 1993. Her remains were found about three months later in a shallow grave in rural Menard County. DNA testing showed Miles had sexual contact with Arlie Ray Davis shortly before her death.

Davis was convicted and sentenced to death for a 1995 murder and was suspected in the disappearances and deaths of several other women in the Peoria area in the early to mid-1990s, including Stephanie Gibson, Loretta Tinkham, Sheryl Murwin, and Cheryl Murray. He was known to target women in the Madison Square area of Peoria, offering rides and then driving them to secluded locations where he assaulted them. Davis was never formally charged in Miles’s death; he died of natural causes on October 13, 2002, while on death row.

The case of Ginny Miles remains part of that cluster of unresolved deaths and disappearances. Anyone with information about Miles, her last movements in Peoria, or those who knew her is urged to come forward.
