Carlisle, PA – Pennsylvania State Police are asking for the public’s help in locating Lauren Steele, a 36-year-old woman who has been missing since early August, as investigators announce a $5,000 cash reward for information that helps solve the case.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Steele was last known to be staying at a hotel in Carlisle, Cumberland County, in August 2024. Her last confirmed contact with family members was on Monday, August 5, 2024. Authorities say there has been no verified contact with her since that time.
Investigators report that Steele is originally from New York and has previously lived in Virginia. She moved to Pennsylvania within the past year, which police say has complicated efforts to track her movements. State police also say Steele may have traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, though this has not been confirmed.
Steele is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing approximately 115 pounds. She has green eyes and strawberry blonde hair. She was 36 years old at the time she was reported missing. Her date of birth is August 30, 1988.
Pennsylvania State Police are urging anyone who may have seen Steele, interacted with her, or has information about her whereabouts to come forward. Tips can be submitted directly to PSP Wilkes-Barre at 570-697-2000 or anonymously through PSP Tips at 1-800-472-8477. Information can also be provided online at p3tips.com.
Authorities note that all tips are confidential, and callers may be eligible for a cash reward if the information leads to progress in the case, including locating Steele.
Anyone with even seemingly small details is encouraged to contact investigators, as police say new information could be critical in determining what happened.
