Heidelberg Township, PA – Authorities are renewing calls for information in the decades-old disappearance of John Alvin Bealer, a Lehigh County man who went missing from his home in 1993. A $5,000 reward is being offered for any information that could help solve the case.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police, Troop M, Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit, John Alvin Bealer, then 50, was last seen leaving work at 12 p.m. on July 30, 1993, before traveling to his residence in the Germansville area of Heidelberg Township. His wife returned home later that day around 4 p.m. and discovered Bealer was missing.
