Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: June 16, 1983 from London Mills, Illinois
Classification: Non-Family Abduction
Date Of Birth: June 15, 1966
Age: 17 years old
Height and Weight: 5'1, 98 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Brown hair, hazel eyes. McClaskey has a four-inch burn scar on her upper left thigh. She has a mole on the left side of her neck. Both of McClaskey's ears are pierced three times each.
Medical Conditions: McClaskey was seven to eight months pregnant at the time of her June 1983 disappearance.
Details of Disappearance
McClaskey disappeared en route to her cousin's residence in London Mills, Illinois on June 16, 1983. She was last seen walking along Route 116, which is one mile east of the city. McClaskey may have attempted to hitchhike at the time. She planned to return home later that evening. McClaskey never arrived at her cousin's house and has not been seen again. Her clothing and wallet were located in the Spoon River in July 1983, one month after her initial disappearance. The river is approximately three miles from London Mills.
Donald Leroy Evans claimed to be McClaskey's killer in 1993, ten years after her disappearance. He was sentenced to death for the murder of a young girl in Mississippi. Authorities are uncertain if Evans's statements are true. He has claimed to have been involved in numerous cases throughout the years, including the 1980 Kentucky disappearance of Randy Sellers. Evans has never been charged in connection with either case. He told a reporter that McClaskey's remains could be found in Iowa near the Quad Cities of Moline, Rock Island, Davenport and Bettendorf, but that has never been proven.
A child discovered skeletal remains in Fulton County, Illinois in 1989. He handed the body over to authorities four years later in 1993. Investigators initially believed that the remains were those of McClaskey, but DNA testing ruled out the theory. There was speculation that convicted murderer William Reinbold (nicknamed "The Hammer") was connected to McClaskey's case. Authorities stated that he has a history of attacking young brunette women. Reinbold is scheduled to be released from an Illinois prison in 2019. He has never been charged in connection with McClaskey's disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
