An autopsy was performed on Monday in Allentown, but forensic pathologist Dr. Christopher Sullivan noted there was no evidence of gunshot wounds, penetrating trauma, such as stab wounds, or fractures to any of the extremity bones.

The body was in an “advanced state of decomposition” when it was found on the embankment on Harp Lane Sunday afternoon, said Columbia County Coroner Jeremy Reese. Katlyn Harp had been missing since June 19 and was last known to be at her home on Fairview Drive in Bloomsburg where she lived with her husband.

Given the condition of the body, additional testing, including toxicology tests, will be performed in an effort to determine the cause of death, Reese said. However, because the manner in which Harp’s body was found and discarded in the woods, the manner of death has already been determined to be homicide, according to Reese.
