Stacey Jane Morrison, 23, disappeared from Peoria, Illinois after she was released from jail on the evening of May 20, 1993. Vulnerable in several ways, she had a mild intellectual disability with the mental capacity of a ten-year-old, a history of substance abuse, and possibly an undiagnosed mental health condition her mother thought might be schizophrenia. Known to use the alias Becky, she had red hair, green eyes, a lazy left eye, wore eyeglasses, and had small scars on her face, a scar on her upper right leg, a strawberry birthmark on her neck, and a C-section scar on her abdomen.

Stacey was released from custody after a prostitution-related arrest and intended to wait for the YWCA shelter to open at 10:00 p.m. She told family she feared for her life because someone had threatened to kill her if she did not earn money for sex work before the arrest. She planned to call her family the next day but never did.

Joseph Miller, a convicted serial killer, later confessed to Stacey’s murder and claimed responsibility for another woman who vanished from Peoria the same year; authorities have been cautious because Miller has given false information in the past and he has not been charged. If anyone has information about Stacey’s whereabouts or remembers seeing her in Peoria in May 1993, please come forward.
