Police say the sibling of slain Pennsylvania woman, Katlyn Harp, found her in a metal box following her disappearance earlier this month.

As previously covered by CrimeOnline, authorities arrested 39-year-old Vincent Lloyd Harp, Katlyn’s husband, on Sunday. He faces charges of criminal homicide following the discovery of his wife’s body at a location on 86 Harp Lane in Montour Township.

He’s also been charged with tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse.

According to Penn Live, police reported that on June 23, they reviewed surveillance footage depicting the defendant driving a truck carrying a large, green box in its bed. The video showed him navigating through a secluded, mountainous area.

Cellphone data obtained by investigators indicated that Vincent Harp was in the area of Harp Lane on June 21.

Katlyn’s sister subsequently reached out to the police to express her belief that Katlyn’s body might have been concealed on a nearly 40-acre property in Columbia County, which the defendant had sold in 2023.

Police arrived at the scene and discovered a green box on the property, and found Katlyn’s remains inside the box.

According to a press release, Columbia County Coroner Jeremy Reese stated that further testing had to be done to determine the cause of death, due to the advanced stage of decomposition. There were no obvious signs of gunshot wounds or trauma.

“The box had a strong odor of decomposition… opening the box, human remains were discovered, Katyln Harp was identified via a tattoo,” the media release stated.

Katlyn disappeared from Columbia County on June 19. She was last seen at around 9 p.m. at her home on Fairview Drive.

Vincent Harp allegedly told police that he received a short text message from his wife saying she needed “a brake” and that friends were going to pick her up.

Meanwhile, court documents from 2018, obtained by Daily Voice, revealed allegations of domestic violence involving Vincent Harp’s former spouse, Stephanie Harp, 33, who died in 2021. In a separate incident, Vincent Harp faced charges of terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, simple assault, and harassment.

Harp is being held without bail at the Columbia County Correctional jail, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for July 19.
