Peggy Sue Ashley-Vinson was 23 and a mother of three when she vanished from Scottsville, Kentucky, in the early hours of July 29, 2000. She had finished a night shift at Federal Mogul, went to the sheriff’s department to report an assault with a deadly weapon, and left the station about 1:30 a.m. Surveillance footage from the A.O. Smith electrical motor plant captured her pulling into the plant’s parking lot around 2:00 a.m. and, at 2:07 a.m., exiting her vehicle and getting into a white truck with a man identified as Calvin Smith.

Smith told investigators he drove her to a payphone and returned her car, but phone records show no call from that payphone and the surveillance video does not show her coming back to the lot. Her car was later found abandoned in the A.O. Smith parking lot. Two days after she disappeared the babysitter who had Peggy’s eight-month-old daughter reported her missing.

Authorities have said they suspect foul play; in 2019 Calvin Smith was publicly named a person of interest and his property was searched. The case remains open and the circumstances after she entered the white truck are unknown. Does anyone who knew Peggy or was in Scottsville that night have information that could help clarify what happened?
