From the bottom of my heart, I believe she is buried close to where she was last seen. The area in which she disappeared (Eagly Road, North Springfield, PA 16411) has never been developed and is mostly woods. Additionally, searches for her body weren't particularly thorough. She was last seen with a man who tried to murder his girlfriend the previous night.

While Kahler and Heck were swimming, there was apparently a confrontation with Heck's ex-girlfriend. Heck and Kahler went to the Tasty Twist ice cream stand and he called the police. A state trooper accompanied them back to Eagley Park, where Heck gave his ex-girlfriend a pair of pants that belonged to her, then he and Kahler left again. Later that day they may have been seen on Old Albion Road in Springfield Township, but that hasn't been confirmed.
Heck claims he dropped Kahler off to at the West Erie Plaza Movie Theater and he gave her money so she could see the film Lilo & Stitch and then get back home. He is considered a suspect in her disappearance; police have stated that they do not believe Heck's story about dropping Kahler off at the theater. He drove Kahler around in a black and red Ford Bronco on the day of her disappearance.
A witness claimed Kahler may have visited the Elk Creek Access area, a popular local fishing spot, the day she disappeared. It is unknown whether the woman seen was Kahler or another individual who resembled her. Heck was incarcerated on burglary charges after Kahler disappeared.
Kahler graduated from East High School, where she was in special education classes, in 2001. Her mother describes her as a kind, accepting and very naive young woman. She was declared legally dead in 2009. Her disappearance remains unsolved.

But not the Pennsylvania State Cop who was one of the last known people to see her alive. He was reassigned to Lawrence Park and has never publicly commented on the case.

There are many people who feel deeply sad about the case because they just saw her before she went missing. They feel like they should have done more. I don't know how much they would have to say. It was a short interaction.
