Family Searching for Missing Woman

The family of a missing Vermilion County woman is asking for the public’s help in finding her.

There’s no new information, according to Hoopeston police, concerning the whereabouts of 33-year-old Amanda Walters-Pentecost. The woman’s been missing since February 1st.


Hoopeston Police reported last week there’s nothing that leads authorities to believe foul play was involved in any way.

Friends of the woman say a local business security camera captured Walters-Pentecost leaving her purse near the road.


January 31st was last time Amanda made contact with the family.

Amanda is 5'9", with brown hair, green eyes and several tattoos. Police believed she was on foot. Again, authorities don't suspect any crime behind her disappearance.


Anyone with information is asked to call the Hoopeston Police Department at 217-283-5196.
