The Disturbing Abduction of Heather Teague

Abducted while sunbathing; suspect dies before questioning.

Heather was born on April 25, 1972, and grew up in the state of Kentucky. A Caucasian 23-year old (at the time of going missing), Heather had long brown hair, green eyes, and visibly flat feet (fallen arches). She was 5’2” and weighed 90–100 lbs. Additionally, she had scoliosis or gradually worsening curvature of her spine.

Disappearance

On August 26, 1995, Heather was sunbathing a Newburgh Beach in Henderson County, Kentucky. A witness observing the beach area through a telescope from across the Ohio River at approximately 12:45 p.m., told authorities their account.

According to this witness, he saw a Caucasian male approach Heather, allegedly grabbed her by her hair and dragged her into the woods off of Newburgh Beach at gunpoint. The witness described this man as approximately 6’0 tall, weighed between 2010 to 230 lbs, had brown hair and a bushy brown beard.

The witness also described the man as wearing jeans but no shirt, yet also oddly wearing a wig and a mosquito net as well.

Following her disappearance getting reported, authorities searched the beach area later in the day, discovering a part of Heather’s red, plaid bathing suit near the alleged site of her abduction. While investigators also found additional evidence, nothing pointed them to Heather’s whereabouts.
