Barbara Miller of Sunbury, was last seen leaving a wedding in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania June 30, 1989. Police have a photograph that proves Miller attended the wedding and have found she was in her home sometime during the early morning hours of July 2, 1989. Items she took from the wedding were found in her Sunbury home that day, but there was no trace of her. She had planned to go to a reception the next day, but never appeared.
Her boyfriend, a former police officer, reported her missing 5 days after her disappearance.
The investigation into her disappearance was reopened in 2002, and evidence suggests she was the victim of a homicide. Before her disappearance she had provided police with information about drug trafficking. Miller had received death threats that accused her of being a drug informant and advised her to stop talking to authorities. About two weeks before her disappearance, she told police the matter had been resolved and asked them to end their probe.
She was declared legally dead in Northumberland Court in 2002. She left behind a young son.
