Bloomsburg, PA – A missing Pennsylvania woman was found dead Sunday in a wooded area of Montour Township, and her husband is now facing multiple charges in connection with her death.
According to the Columbia County Coroner, the body recovered off Harp Lane has been identified as 33-year-old Katlyn Harp of Bloomsburg. Her husband, Vincent Lloyd Harp, was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, abuse of corpse, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
Coroner Jeremy Reese confirmed Katlyn was pronounced dead at 3:30 p.m. Sunday after her remains were discovered in a 38-acre wooded property once owned by Vincent Harp. Authorities say the cause and manner of death are pending autopsy results, though initial evidence and scene observations suggest apparent homicide.
Katlyn was last seen alive on June 19 at her home on Fairview Drive in Hemlock Township. The extensive search that followed included the Pennsylvania State Police Aviation Unit, K-9 teams, drones, ATVs, and the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT).
State Police were alerted to the discovery site around 3:15 p.m. Sunday by civilians who had gathered near a steep embankment on the property. The road was blocked as investigators processed the scene.
Katlyn’s sister, Heather Lane, later posted on social media, “WE!!!!!! Found her! Emphasize the WE!”, highlighting the family’s involvement in locating Katlyn’s remains.
Vincent Harp is currently being held without bail in the Columbia County Correctional Facility. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday, July 14 at 11 a.m. before Judge Doug D. Brewer.
The coroner’s office extended condolences to the Harp family and thanked local emergency services for their role in the recovery.
