Ongoing Search for Missing Pennsylvania Woman
Authorities Seek Information on Katlyn Harp’s Disappearance
The mystery surrounding the disappearance of 33-year-old Katlyn Harp continues as police ramp up efforts to locate the Columbia County resident, who was reported missing over a week ago. Harp was last seen on June 19 around 9 p.m. at her residence on Fairview Drive.
Last Known Contact
According to Harp’s husband, Vincent “Vinny” Harp, she sent him a brief text message indicating that she needed "a break" and that friends were coming to pick her up. The message concluded with a plea: "Please don’t destroy my s**. I need my space to clear my head." Although police have not confirmed whether the text was indeed sent by Katlyn, it raises questions about her state of mind prior to her disappearance.*
Search Efforts Intensify
In response to her disappearance, Hemlock Township police, in collaboration with state authorities, are utilizing a broad range of resources. These include aerial searches via PSP Aviation, K-9 units, the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) Drone Team, and ATVs from the Pennsylvania Game Commission. "We are employing all available resources to find Katlyn as quickly as possible," a police representative stated.
Concerns Surrounding Vincent Harp

Reports indicate a history of domestic violence allegations involving his former spouse, Stephanie Harp, who tragically passed away in 2021. In addition, Vincent faced charges in 2018 that included terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, simple assault, and harassment. These revelations have led some to question his role in the ongoing investigation.
