Amy Leanne Pugner was 40 when she disappeared from Washington, Pennsylvania, on or around June 10, 2010. She had recently moved from Latrobe and was living in a new apartment on North Main Street while rebuilding her life; she had a history of paranoid schizophrenia and past substance abuse and was in recovery. On June 8 she spoke cheerfully with her sister about painting the new place — the last normal contact the family had.

The day after that call, someone used Amy’s cell phone to make threatening ransom calls and texts to her father and sister, claiming she had stolen from him and demanding $30,000 while threatening to kill her. When the sister asked to speak to Amy, only a faint muffled sound could be heard. The caller directed the family to leave money at a Mount Oliver McDonald’s, then vanished after the family could not raise the cash. Amy’s family reported her missing on June 10. Her apartment showed no signs of a struggle, and police collected DNA to enter into a missing person database. The caller’s identity remains unknown and there have been no significant leads.

Did anyone in Washington or Mount Oliver hear or see anything unusual around June 8–10, 2010 that might help explain what happened to Amy?
