Kimberlie Krimm was 14 when she left home on the evening of June 30, 1998, intending to meet a friend and buy hair dye. She never returned and was reported missing by her family. On July 6 a utility worker found her decomposing body on an overgrown hillside overlooking the McKeesport and Versailles Cemetery, at a spot described as a common shortcut Kimberlie might have used.

The Allegheny County Coroner’s Office could not determine an official cause of death because of the advanced state of decomposition, so her death was not formally classified as a homicide. Kimberlie’s jeans were partially pulled down and her shoes were found some distance from her body, details that led her family to believe foul play was involved. The Allegheny County Police conducted interviews but have not named any suspects or made arrests, and the case is cold.

If anyone knew Kimberlie, saw her that night, or remembers the shortcut by the cemetery, please come forward with information.
