DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. — Authorities across multiple counties continue to search for the body of a missing woman.
Tracy Scanlon hasn’t been seen or heard from since February. Police now believe she was killed.
Scanlon, who also goes by the last name Zalenski, is originally from Allegheny County.
According to her profile in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, Tracy left home on February 7 and traveled to Harrisburg. She had plans to return to the Pittsburgh area on March 1, but that never happened.
She was last seen leaving the Wine & Spirits Store located in a shopping center on Union Deposit Road in Lower Paxton Township.
Police say she had been staying with an acquaintance nearby in the 3300 block of Union Deposit Road in Susquehanna Township.
February 20 was the last time anyone had contact with her.
Late last week, Susquehanna Township Police announced what started as a missing person case is now a homicide investigation.
On Friday, May 3, FOX43 was there as dozens of crews searched nearly 10 miles of York County’s Little Conewago and Conewago Creeks, in connection to this case.
They searched from Conewago Township to York Haven but came up empty.
We reached out to Susquehanna Township police, the department leading the investigation, on Tuesday, asking why authorities believe Scanlon was murdered, and why they were searching in York County.
The department's chief, Robert Martin, would not answer those questions, saying only that, "This is an ongoing investigation and we have no comment."
FOX43 also reached out to the Millvale Police Department in Allegheny County, where Scanlon is originally from. Investigators there are working with authorities in Dauphin County on this case.
Millvale's chief was out of the office on Tuesday but told FOX43 he would forward our questions to the detective on the case. That detective had not returned our request as of Tuesday afternoon.
