Circumstances of Disappearance


On August 26, 1995 Heather Teague was sunbathing on Newburgh Beach in Spottsville, Ky. The Newburgh beach area - rural Henderson County is on the Ohio River across from Newburgh, Indiana. An eye witness from across the river watched through a telescope as a man wearing a wig and a mosquito net dragged Teague into the woods.

Heather's stalker may have been caught on tape just minutes before. A local farmer was videotaping crop vandalism in the area that day, and recorded Heather's car and, just down the road, a red Ford Bronco.

As a result of locating that type of vehicle through registration checks, police developed a primary suspect in the case, who drove a red Bronco and had a criminal history. When police went to question him, the suspect reportedly killed himself.

Friday marks 27 years since Heather Teague’s disappearance​

Published: Aug. 26, 2022 at 3:45 PM PDT

Friday marks 27 years since Heather Teague was last seen.

On this day in 1995, a witness says he saw Heather on Newburgh Beach in Henderson County.

Since then, Heather’s mom, Sarah Teague, says she has not let a day go by without doing something to find her daughter.

Sarah says she has found peace and happiness in God and her family, but she still hurts from her daughter’s disappearance.


Kentucky State Police say that Heather’s case is still open and they are still investigating.

Officials say if you have any information that could lead to finding Heather, you are asked to call KSP.
 

Mom of missing Tri-State woman starts petition for DNA testing​

A Tri-State mother whose daughter disappeared more than 27 years ago is pushing for DNA testing of items found at the scene.

Heather Teague was kidnapped while sunbathing on Newburgh Beach in Henderson County in 1995. Her mother, Sarah Teague, says her bathing suit bottoms and towel were found at the scene but were never tested for DNA.

A suspect in the case, Marvin Dill, killed himself as investigators went to his home to question him. Teague has created an online petition hoping the Governor will order the testing to be done.

Kentucky State Police say they are in the process of moving forward with the testing.

HENDERSON, Ky. (WFIE) - There’s a development in the case of a missing Tri-State woman.

A different agency is now getting involved in the investigation into Heather Teague’s disappearance.

She went missing from Newburgh Beach in Henderson County nearly 29 years ago.

Her mother, Sarah, has never stopped fighting for answers.

Officials say now, the Special Prosecutions Division of the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office will go over Kentucky State Police’s investigation and will handle any possible prosecution in the case.

Sarah tells us she now feels like all the messages she’s sent in have been read, and Heather’s case now has some help.

“This was a surprise, and it was such a wonderful surprise that it happened like this. I’ve never given up. I know that there’s a day set aside where we’re going to get Heather back. That’s all I want,” said Sarah.
 

Suspect's body exhumed for DNA in disappearance of Kentucky woman 30 years ago​

New developments in the case of a Kentucky woman missing for 30 years are renewing her mother's search for answers.

Kentucky State Police said the body of Marty Dill—the suspect in Heather Teague's 1995 disappearance—was exhumed Monday morning for his DNA and reburied about two hours later.

Teague, 23, was abducted Aug. 26, 1995 while sunbathing on Newburgh Beach in Henderson County, Kentucky. A witness watched through a telescope from his home as a bushy-haired man grabbed Teague by her hair and dragged her into the nearby woods.

Police would find a towel, Teague’s notebook and part of her swimsuit. But Teague was never seen again.

The description of the suspect matched Dill's driver’s license photo, and his truck was seen near the beach. Five days after Teague disappeared, when police knocked on Dill’s door to serve a search warrant, he fatally shot himself before they could question him.

Teague's case was the focus of a WDRB Investigation back in 2018 as her mother fought KSP for answers about her daughter's case. Sarah Teague said at the time she was told Dill "probably" committed the crime, but had suspected the agency was hiding something and waged a court battle against them over access to evidence. Teague said the 911 tape police allowed her to hear in 2008 differs from the only one they let her hear in 2016.

The lack of a body or closure in the case has created a hive of conspiracy theories in the small town of Henderson.
 

Bone fragments found in search for missing Kentucky woman ruled deer​

Bones found at a new search location for Heather Teague in Henderson County were determined to be deer fragments.

Kentucky State Police Trooper Corey King tells Nexstar’s WEHT that a local anthropologist identified two of the bones as deer and the rest as non-human origin.
