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

As CrimeOnline previously reported, police arrested Katlyn’s husband, 39-year-old Vincent Lloyd Harp, on Sunday and charged him with criminal homicide, after discovering his wife’s body on a property located at 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 stated that on June 23, they viewed security footage that showed the defendant driving in a truck with a large, green box in the bed. The footage showed him driving down a rural, mountainous area.

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

Katlyn’s sister then contacted police and indicated she believed Katlyn’s body had been hidden on a nearly 40-acre property in Columbia County that the defendant 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.
