- Details of Disappearance:
- Kiefer disappeared from her home in Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania on March 22, 1994. Her husband found her gone after taking a shower; their car was also missing. Kiefer’s medicine and some jackets were also gone.
Her car was found abandoned the next day in nearby Bethlehem. The car seat was adjusted for someone taller than her, but there were no signs of a struggle.
A former neighbor, Bryan Steckel (who was on death row for another murder), falsely confessed to killing Kiefer. He was executed in 2001.
Kiefer had health problems and hadn’t left the house much in the 18 months before her disappearance. Her family didn’t suspect she was planning to leave, and her husband said their marriage was good, though he divorced her four years after she vanished.
Kiefer’s disappearance remains a mystery.
