Could she have gone to the Niagara Falls? A foot in a LA Gear shoe washed ashore on the Canadian side in 1993.

Krummel, circa 1991

• Medical Conditions Krummel suffers from Huntington's Disease, a degenerative genetic condition characterized by uncontrollable random movements, loss of muscle control, impaired cognitive abilities, mental illness and eventual death. She had been experiencing symptoms for seven years by the time of her disappearance, and reportedly she was suffering from insomnia and difficulty swallowing by 1991. Although Huntington's is incurable, at the time of her disappearance Krummel was taking medications to slow the progress of the disease.

<<Police theorized Krummel committed suicide, but couldn't locate her body after an extensive search, and Krummel's sister said she didn't believe she would have drowned herself because she knew how to swim and didn't like to get dirty.

Another possibility is that she left of her own accord to spare her family from having to watch her die slowly from her Huntington's Disease. She had witnessed several family members, including her mother, die of the illness.

After she went missing, Krummel's family moved to Long Island, New York. She hasn't used her credit cards or bank accounts since her disappearance. Authorities are unsure what happened to her, but they don't suspect foul play was involved in her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved>>

I live near the town she disappeared in and something about this case always gets me down. I think it's obvious what happened but it's just so sad. There has been very little in the media over the years around here.
