Barbara Elizabeth Miller was 30 and a mother when she vanished from her Penn Street home in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, after the July 1, 1989 wedding she was believed to have attended. She was last seen in the early morning hours of July 2 wearing a blue spaghetti strap dress with a white shirt and possibly several turquoise rings. A rose tattoo with the letters HD for Harley Davidson was on her right shoulder.

In the weeks before she disappeared she had been acting as a police informant about drug trafficking and received threatening letters. She told police the matter was resolved about two weeks before her disappearance and asked them to close the investigation. She also reportedly feared for her life and specifically feared her ex-boyfriend, former Sunbury police detective Joseph Mike Egan, who later reported her missing and has been described by investigators as the lead suspect; he has denied involvement.

Barbara was declared legally dead in 2002 and the case was reclassified as a homicide. Renewed searches in 2017–2018 included excavations at a Milton home connected to Egan’s family and removal of steps at her former Sunbury residence after canine alerts and what investigators called potential evidence, but no arrests or public conclusions have been announced. Does anyone with knowledge of Sunbury in 1989 or of Barbara’s circle have information that could help explain what happened to her?
