TRACY KROH - 17 yo (1989) Dauphin Cty. PA

20 years ago a Dauphin County teenager disappeared, and the National
Center For Missing And Exploited Children is asking for your help in
finding her.

17-year-old Tracy Kroh vanished on August 5th, 1989. She was last seen in the Town Square in Millersburg.

In December state police put up a billboard to help in their search.



Anyone with information on Tracy's whereabouts is asked to call police.

It has been nearly 21 years since 17-year-old Tracy Marie Kroh disappeared from Millersburg, Pennsylvania. What happened to Tracey? Where is she today? Those questions and more persist.

Tracy was reported missing on the afternoon of August 6, 1989. She was last seen the previous day when she went to visit her sister, Tammy, at Alex Acres Trailer Park, off Route 147. Tammy was at a carnival at the time, so she never saw her sister that day, but later found items—coupons and a BBQ grill—that her sister had left for her.

For unknown reasons, Tracy never made it back to her Millersburg home.

On the evening she was reported missing, Tracy's car, a 1971 Mercury Comet, was found abandoned at the town square in Millersburg. Her purse and other personal belongings were not inside the vehicle.

With no clues or evidence to follow, the case quickly went cold. It was not until December 1993 that police got a break in the case when they found items from Tracy's wallet—a photo and a driver's license update card—near Wiconisco Creek in Washington Township. The location is roughly nine miles from Millersburg.

A search was conducted in the area where Tracy's belongings were found; however, no other pieces of evidence were found at the scene. As quickly as the case had heated up, it again went cold.

The following year, an anonymous person called a missing children hotline and said Tracy was being held against her will, along with two other missing women—Tiffany Sessions and Elizabeth Miller. The caller stated that they were being forced to work as prostitutes in Austin, Texas.

Tiffany had been missing from Florida since 1989, and Miller had disappeared from Colorado in 1983. Neither case has been solved.

Authorities in Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas all investigated the tip, but nothing further ever came of it.

Another tip received in 2006 caused authorities to conduct a search using a cadaver dog in Washington Township, but again, nothing was turned up.

In December 2008, Dauphin County DA's office and Dauphin County Crime Stoppers erected a billboard with Tracy's photo on Route 225, near Halifax. According to police, it sparked new community interest in the case and resulted in several new leads.

"Since the billboard was unveiled and the press conference was conducted, we have received several new pieces of information from the public," Trooper Karl Schmidhamer told pennlive.com. "We believe that the coverage given to this case has rekindled an interest in the case."

In another December 2008 interview with whtm.com, prosecutor Fran Chardo said authorities have a suspect in Tracy's case and are working on theories about what could have happened to her.

"I believe this disappearance can be solved and there's somebody out there...with information that can provide that missing piece to bring closure to this case and to this family," Chardo said.

Over a year has passed since Chardo made those statements, and no further information on the case or the "suspect" has been released.

Tracy Kroh is described as 4'10" and 82 lbs., with brown hair and green eyes. She has pierced ears and a small mole on her chin. She was last seen wearing a blue and white, floral print, capped sleeve and cropped t shirt, light blue shorts, white canvas tie sneakers and white ankle cut socks. She was carrying a small purse with thin straps that had an image of a horse or unicorn imprinted on the side. She was also wearing a white gold class ring with a diamond stone and a silver timex watch. Her key ring featured an image of the cartoon character Roger Rabbit.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police at 717-362-9544 or Dauphin County Crimestoppers at 1-800-262-3080.
