Loretta L. Tinkham, also known as Skeeter and York, was 31 when she was last seen in Peoria, Illinois, on November 3, 1994. Described as a white female with red, shoulder-length hair and hazel eyes, her reported height ranges from 4 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 5 inches and her weight from 97 to 130 pounds. Very few concrete details are available about her disappearance; clothing, belongings, and the circumstances of that day have not been reported.

Her case is one of several Peoria-area disappearances from the same period that investigators have examined. Authorities have considered connections to Arlie Ray Davis, a convicted killer who was a suspect in multiple cases; DNA tied him to an earlier murder and he was convicted in a 1995 killing, but he died in 2002. Loretta remains listed as an endangered missing person and the investigation is open. If anyone knew Loretta, where she spent time, or has information that could help, please come forward.
