After She Was Allegedly Assaulted With A Deadly Weapon By Her Boyfriend During An Argument And Filed A Report Against Him In 2000, She Got Into A Man’s Truck And Was Never Seen Again
In 2000, Peggy Ashley Vinson was a 23-year-old mother of three from Kentucky. Her two eldest children, aged 5 and 2, were living with their respective fathers at the time; meanwhile, she had custody of her 8-month-old daughter.
Peggy worked at Federal-Mogul, a manufacturer in Scottsville, Kentucky, and on July 29, 2000, she left her daughter with a babysitter while she completed her shift.
Yet, shortly after she left work, she got into a fight with her boyfriend and ultimately disappeared.
During their argument, Peggy was allegedly assaulted with a deadly weapon. She subsequently drove to the Allen County Sheriff’s Department to file a report.
At approximately 1:30 a.m., Peggy then left the department, and she was last seen alive a half hour later.
Surveillance footage captured Peggy driving into the parking lot of the A.O. Smith electrical motor plant, located in Scottsville, at about 2:00 a.m. Additionally, another vehicle was following close behind.
Just a few minutes later, at 2:07 a.m., Peggy was last spotted exiting her car and entering the white truck of a man named Calvin. Since then, she has never been seen or heard from again.
Peggy was reported missing two days later by her babysitter after she did not return home. Once an investigation was launched, Calvin told authorities that he’d driven Peggy to a pay phone. Next, he reportedly brought her back to her car that same evening.
However, records from the phone booth showed that no calls had been placed. Surveillance footage from the A.O. Smith electrical motor plant parking lot also did not show Peggy returning to her vehicle – only leaving.

Investigators interviewed Peggy’s boyfriend, but he had an alibi for the time she vanished and was not considered a suspect in her case.
Peggy’s bank account has had no activity since she disappeared, and she has not contacted any of her family members or friends.
Nearly two decades after she went missing, in 2019, police executed a search warrant at a barn located on a Munfordville property that belonged to Calvin. The Scottsville Police Department, Hart County Sheriff’s Office, and the FBI conducted the search.
According to Assistant Chief Darren Tabor of the Scottsville Police Department, nothing of significance was found, but Calvin reportedly remains a person of interest.
No arrests have been made in connection to Peggy’s disappearance, and foul play is suspected. Still, exactly what happened that night, as well as her whereabouts, remain unknown.
When Peggy vanished, Detective Steve Woods stated that she’d had a history of leaving her kids with babysitters for longer than agreed upon. Despite that, she always reached out.
Peggy was five foot nine, weighed 120 pounds, and had blonde hair and blue eyes. She also had several tattoos, including a horse head on her left arm and barbed wire with the initials “JJ” on her right arm.
Peggy was last seen wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and black sneakers.
If you have any information regarding her case, you are urged to contact the Allen County Sheriff’s Department at (270) 237-3210.
