In the early morning of July 8, 1995, 48-year-old Stephanie C. Gibson was seen leaving Memories Bar in the 800 block of Main Street in Peoria with a man named Arlie Ray Davis. Witnesses reported they got into his light blue 1979 Dodge Dart, license plate MMJ 296, and drove away at about 2:30 a.m. Stephanie was wearing a tight-fitting black blouse with diamond-shaped designs, black spandex pants, black gym shoes and earrings. She had graying brown hair, green eyes, pierced ears and a tattoo of a broken heart on her upper left arm, and lived on the 600 block of Voris Street in Peoria at the time.

Davis later said he and Gibson had gone to Kingston Mines after leaving Memories Bar, but investigators found no evidence to corroborate that claim. Davis had earlier reports of violence toward sex workers in the Peoria area, and was later convicted in the murder of another Illinois woman; he died of a heart attack in October 2002 while incarcerated. Authorities have noted several other women who went missing from the Peoria area, including Loretta Tinkham and Cheryl Murray, and the remains of Sheryl Murwin, who vanished in 1994, were identified years later. No definitive link has been announced in Stephanie’s case, which remains unresolved.

Did anyone in Peoria around July 8, 1995 see Stephanie, that Dodge Dart, or know anything about where she might have gone after leaving Memories Bar?
