New information about the search for a Pennsylvania woman believed dead

Court documents filed in Dauphin County have revealed new details about the search for a western Pennsylvania woman who disappeared in February and who authorities believe was the victim of a murder. Susquehanna Township police said last week that they believe Tracy Scanlon is dead after she had been in contact with others and was last seen leaving a wine and liquor store on Feb. 20. The investigation into her disappearance led to the discovery that Scanlon’s EBT card had been used by Anthony Proctor, with whom police said she had lived for a time. according to court documents. Proctor, 59, is currently charged in connection with Scanlon’s use of EBT card, but has not been charged in connection with Scanlon’s disappearance or suspected death. Court records show Scanlon was convicted in connection with third-degree murder. He dates back to the 1990s and has a criminal history that includes other violent crimes. A copy of the search warrant documents shows authorities searched his home at the Walnut Crossings Apartments in Susquehanna Township and four vehicles he owned. A cadaver dog was used to search the apartment. The search warrant return listed a stained towel, hair, a post-it note, gold bracelets and other items found in a vehicle. Police also found a receipt dated Feb. 20 for a wine and liquor store in one of Proctor’s vehicles. Police wrote in court documents that Proctor claimed he did not know Scanlon during an encounter, although interviews with people who knew both suggested that was not the case. Investigators also wrote that an acquaintance of Proctor’s told her that Proctor said Scanlon took the train to Philadelphia, although police say no records of Amtrak tickets purchased by Scanlon or Proctor could be verified. The investigation is ongoing. If you have any information, please contact the Susquehanna Township Police Department.
