No updates to this case. I drive through Shaler most days and have checked the social media pages of the police department. As of now they have not located her.

Once on scene, responding officers learned that 70-year-old Janet Walsh was supposed to meet her daughter for dinner but was not at home and did not contact her daughter. Shaler Police Department initiated an investigation.

Over the past week, the Shaler Police did an exhaustive search and investigation but had been unable to locate Walsh. On January 28, 2020 they requested the investigative assistance of the Allegheny County Police General Investigations Section. Detectives with the Allegheny County Police responded to the scene and initiated an investigation. Detectives learned that Walsh was last seen at church on Sunday, January 19, 2020.

Community Holds Vigil For Missing 70-Year-Old Woman, Janet Walsh
[...]

There was a candlelight vigil for 70-year-old Janet Walsh who has been missing since January 19.

[...]

Walsh was not a church member but she did attend services often, Pastor Dan Smail, Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church, told KDKA. Though she wasn’t an official member, her presence was cherished and she is missed.

People who know Janet said they want answers about her disappearance.

[...]

After the vigil, people went searching for those answers.

A search party organized by the Western Pennsylvania Search and Rescue Missing Persons Division canvased the neighborhood where Janet Walsh lived, looking for clues. The group consisted of roughly 25 people.

[...]

Walsh was last seen at Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran.

I searched her home address on Allegheny County's real estate assessment page. Her home is in the name of her and her husband, Thomas W. Walsh. Thomas passed away in November 2019. I figured I'd post that here in case it's useful.

Also, can OnStar ping the location of her car? I have a Chevy Trax too and OnStar comes standard. I wonder if the investigators have looked into doing that.

Prayer vigil held for 70-year-old Shaler woman who disappeared weeks ago

• Per her family, Janet’s husband passed away a few months ago but she was in better spirits and looking forward to starting volunteer work.
• Her son-in-law said he and his wife had lunch with Janet on Jan 19. When they returned to her home on Jan. 20, she was gone, and they spent hours trying to get in contact with her.

Janet didn't live very far from her church, Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran, where she was last seen:

PA-8 aka Route 8 is a main road but not a "highway" like 28, 79, 376, the turnpike, etc. Lots of intersections and traffic lights but little in the way of exits. The only designated numbered exits in that neck of the woods I can think of (having lived and worked in the area) are the ramps to get on/off Route 28 (Exits 5A & 5B) in Etna (south of Shaler/Glenshaw) and PA Turnpike Exit #39 that enters/exits on the border of Hampton & Richland Twps (north of Shaler/Glenshaw).

Thank you for the information. I appreciate your reply. I will look into the PA Turnpike Exit #39 ( Hampton and Richland Twps) there is a specific name of a business I'm looking for.

Very interesting. There are a good amount of bad areas adjacent to Plum (where those remains were found) so I would be surprised if it’s her.

I know her family said she was in better spirits, but I can imagine losing your husband in the holiday season and trying to go on alone can become overwhelming at times. I'm assuming no financial transactions have been occurring on any of her accounts?

 

[mlhenn]

Unable to find any updates.

 

[Gameman]

I don’t know why some stories become so huge with the media while others are just reported on once with no follow up stories. This is crazy. She looks like such a nice woman.

There are no recent updates on either the Shaler Township Police Department or the Allegheny County Police Department Facebook pages:

Although the STPD did reply this to a comment under their post:

'"Author
Shaler Township Police Department [name removed by me], unfortunately there are no updates. There is no scheduled search party unless her vehicle would be located."
​

IMO, LE is waiting for Janet's vehicle to be found.
