Edward Hale Hunsberger, 30, was last seen with his wife Stephanie when they left his parents’ home in North Wales, Pennsylvania, on February 25, 1978. He was described as having brown hair, standing between 5 feet 5 inches and 6 feet 1 inch, and weighing between 150 and 200 pounds. The couple had been living with Stephanie’s father, Dr. Jay Smith, in King of Prussia since September 1977 as they tried to get stable while both struggled with heroin addiction.

After that February visit neither Edward nor Stephanie made contact. Their personal items, including toothbrushes and an uncashed income tax return, remained at Dr. Smith’s house. Smith later told Eddie’s parents the couple had fled to California and admitted cashing at least two of Stephanie’s welfare checks after she disappeared. Edward was on probation for an armed robbery conviction and required to attend a methadone clinic; he and Stephanie missed appointments in February 1978.

Dr. Smith was arrested in August 1978 for armed robberies and investigators recovered a large quantity of drugs he said belonged to the couple. He has been regarded as a suspect in the disappearances, but no confirmed sightings or contact with Edward or Stephanie have occurred since February 25, 1978. Did anyone in the King of Prussia or North Wales area have contact with Edward or Stephanie around that time or remember seeing them leave on February 25, 1978?
