Avon was last seen with her sister at the end of Richards Street in Joliet, Illinois on July 21, 1981. The girls met friends at that location and Avon walked away from the group after having an argument with another child. She was reported missing by her family at approximately 9:00 PM that evening, but no trace of her was found. Avon has never been seen again. A man told authorities in 1993 that he suspected his mentally-impaired nephew had murdered Avon in 1981. His nephew would have been a child at that time. The man also stated that he believed his nephew's father, who was deceased by 1993, had buried her body to protect his son. A vacant lot was excavated later in the year where authorities suspected Avon may be buried, but nothing was located. Avon's former babysitter had once lived in a residence where the lot was located. Her case remains unsolved. Some agencies may list "February 21, 1981" as the date of Avon's disappearance. |
