Distinguishing Characteristics:

Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Red hair, brown eyes. Whittaker may use the name Tina Young. Her ears are pierced, her left femur has been previously fractured, and she has a Cesarean section scar on her abdomen. She has a surgical scar on her left knee with rod indentations on both sides, and the following tattoos: a ten-inch by eight-inch outline of an angel with the middle finger up on her back and a Care Bear with a marijuana leaf on the inside of her ankle. Whittaker’s hair is naturally curly, but she often wears it straightened.

Details of Disappearance:

Ashley Whittaker vanished from Hannibal, Missouri on November 13, 2009. She’d been at a bar, Rookie’s Sports Bar, and got kicked out for being drunk and causing trouble. She left alone around 11:45 pm, trying to get a ride home but disappeared. Her phone was found a few blocks away.

Her mom thinks her mental illness might have made her vulnerable. Ashley was described as naive and easily influenced, and her medication may have made things worse. There have been possible sightings of her in Peoria, Illinois, and her mother has searched there repeatedly.

Ashley left behind a baby daughter. She also had a warrant for her arrest because she’d been caught driving without a license and missed a court date. However, her family doesn’t think she ran away because she’d never done anything like that before.

Police haven’t solved the mystery of what happened to her.
