The Trail Went Cold – Episode 384 – Kortne Stouffer

The Trail Went Cold

July 29, 2012. Palmyra, Pennsylvania. After spending the evening at a bar, 21-year old Kortne Stouffer returns to her apartment building alongside a male friend named Cody Pruett, but gets into a confrontation with her neighbours. The police are called to the scene and manage to de-escalate the situation, so Kortne goes into her apartment with Cody. When Cody wakes up later that morning, he claims that Kortne has vanished without explanation and she has left her car and all of her personal belongings behind. Investigators explore a number of different leads, but can find no evidence of foul play or any strong suspects, so Kortne’s disappearance remains unsolved. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a bizarre case about a young woman who seemingly vanished from her apartment in the middle of the night. Special thanks to listener Becki Routsong for narrating the opening of this episode. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Lebanon County District Attorney’s Office Detective Bureau at [phone] or the Palmyra Borough Police Department at [phone].
