The police suspected it was a spurned lover but no one was ever arrested.
In 1924 she was briefly engaged to an English sculptor. Peggy never married saying "There's girls that were made for wives and mothers. And there's other girls that have other work to do in the world. I am one of those other girls. " She moved to Hollywood and signed a movie contract with Jack White's Mermaid comedies. Peggy co-starred with Lige Conley in the films Air Pockets and Wedding Showers (she was billed as Peg O'Neil).
