Peggy's throat had been slit, her skull smashed, and her arms, legs, and left buttock beaten. Her clothes were found folden in some bags nearby. Peggy's mother, Kate Chappell, claims she knows who abducted her daughter, and says that the man had taken Peggy before but always brought her back safe. She refuses to identify the individual to investigators. Kate was charged with hindering prosecution in 1994, and pleaded guilty. She was sentenced to probation, a condition of the probation being that she cooperate fully with police in their efforts to find Peggy's killer. However, Kate still refused to tell who abducted Peggy and was violated on her probation in 2000. She was sentenced to three years in prison and five more years of probation afterwards.
