    Details of Disappearance

    Whittaker was last seen in Hannibal, Missouri on November 13, 2009. That evening, she went with friends to the Rookie's Sports Bar in the 600 block of Broadway. She was asked to leave after she became drunk and began harassing other bar patrons. Whittaker left the bar alone at 11:45 p.m. She asked several different people for a ride. She has never been heard from again. Her cellular phone was found lying on the ground on south Seventh Street, several blocks away. There was a possible sighting of Whittaker in a Peoria, Illinois restaurant two weeks after her disappearance, but this has not been confirmed.

    Whittaker left behind an infant daughter. She has a warrant out for her arrest; she had been arrested for driving on a revoked license before her disappearance, and she missed a court date on December 18, 2009. Her loved ones don't believe she left of her own accord, as she has no history of such behavior. She lived in the 1700 block of Ruby in the Oakwood neighborhood of Hannibal at the time of her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
