(Beaver Falls, Pa) With little information being provided by authorities, community members do not know if an alleged murderer could be on the loose in Beaver County. A woman who was identified as Rebecca Miller, 41, of Beaver Falls was found dead Thursday on a walking trail near the campus of Geneva College. Sources say Miller suffered multiple stab wounds and is being considered a victim of homicide, but an exact cause of death has not yet been released by authorities.
Beaver County Radio spoke to the roommate of Miller, who says they were living at Cornerstone Recovery and Supports in Beaver Falls, which specializes in mental health support and housing services. She says Miller signed out of the facility on Sunday, and never returned. Miller had mentioned to her that she was going on a walk with a friend but didn’t say much else other than it was a man.
Miller worked at Crop and Kettle in New Brighton, where her roommate was a student. She says classes were let out early Thursday and cancelled for Friday. With the change in class schedule, and Miller still not home, she said “I knew something happened”.
The roommate says police and management of the living facility spoke to the residents, but none of them were informed of exactly what happened. She says she had to read the news online to learn of her former roommate’s fate. She said, “I was shocked”, and “I don’t feel safe to go out at night”.
Currently there is no word from Police or authorities on the state of the investigation. They have not released any update on whether or not they have made any arrests or identified any suspects in the alleged murder. A press release issued on Thursday from Beaver Falls Police Chief David Johnson and District Attorney Nate Bible stated they do not “believe there is danger residents or the community”.
