It could be, if she had been driving him or was a neighbor.
There are people who are hired by the Amish to drive them for business, errands, or on trips. Ladies going shopping sometimes have a driver take them to the store. People going a long way for a doctor appointment will probably hire a driver. It’s usually on an as-needed basis, not like the family employs a chauffeur.We spoke with a gentleman, who asked us not to show his face. He said he drives for the family and knew the victim well. He was driving another Amish woman when they got the news.

When this gentleman says he drives for the family, what does that mean? Is he employed by them to drive Mom and kids when Dad is at work? Do females not drive horse and buggies?
Since most Amish do not drive automobiles, it is common that they have a driver that they use when needing to go somewhere by auto. I am assuming this guy is a driver for many of the local Amish.We spoke with a gentleman, who asked us not to show his face. He said he drives for the family and knew the victim well.

I live right outside of Lancaster PA and it is common for Amish to have a driver that takes them places by car, although some Amish drive. I have seen women driving horse and buggies…We spoke with a gentleman, who asked us not to show his face. He said he drives for the family and knew the victim well.

So do I! Yes, some ladies still drive carriages for short trips, but a lot of the older ones have given it up. There’s so much traffic now. Hiring a driver seems like it’s becoming much more common as communities become less walkable (and less convenient to travel with a horse).
Hi neighbor!
i think the neighbors do pay attention to cars they have not seen before thus the news reports about the Jeep in the yard-
Think of a friend giving you a ride more so than an Uber. For example, I used to give my neighbor a ride to our midwife's office because both of us were pregnant. It just made sense instead of her taking her buggy on that road.
Thank you! I've been a WS lurker for awhile. Finally decided it was time, ha ha.
From what I know, Amish do wear sneakers. Not necessarily name brands but the women wear comfortable footwear even though they’re always in dresses and head coverings. They are usually black and sneaker like, IMO.
Yes I agree. IME the local Mennonite community would oftentimes serve as drivers for the Amish and it was, I believe, a pretty regular thing.
I wondered if the neighbor had called the house when they saw the red jeep.,and got no answer.and was a bit frightened to enter the house, but called Andy to come home.
I'm sure they are. Hopefully they've been able to narrow down the model year somewhat. I'm just glad this guy apparently used a very conspicuous vehicle.I bet law enforcement is checking various lists to see who in the area owns a red Jeep, and paying visits to them. That's how it goes in the true crime shows anyway.
“Black wrote that a woman, previously described by police as a family friend, called 911 at 12:36 p.m. to report that she and Andy Byler found Rebekah Byler unresponsive when they arrived.”
