Missing Allegheny County woman had PFA order against boyfriend, prime suspect in her disappearance

Channel 11 got hold of a copy of the PFA, protection from abuse order, Darlene Harbison got against her ex-boyfriend Eric Gibbs less than five months before she mysteriously disappeared.

From the article:

In those documents, Harbison wrote:

“He has picked me up and held me down in the hot tub.”

He was “in the bedroom with a half-gallon of vodka and a firearm to his chin.”

“He pulled my driver’s side window out until it broke.”

Gibbs violated that PFA in June. He pleaded guilty in court a day after Harbison disappeared. Harbison’s brother says matters escalated with the PFA. Harbison decided not to prosecute, and Gibbs was in the process of being kicked out of the home.

Two days before Harbison was last seen, Gibbs was arrested for trespassing on her property. Police were called. They said when they got there, Gibbs was hiding behind a car. He was extremely intoxicated, according to court documents, and told police he would show them he didn’t have any weapons. Police say he pulled down his pants and exposed himself.

Harbison’s family organized the search Saturday to cover a 5-mile radius that police mapped out. Ruedinger said Harbison’s body may be found in what might be a crime scene.

Ruedinger said searchers are also looking for her daughter’s motorcycle. She believes the motorcycle and Harbison’s body could be together in an effort “to make it look like an accident,” Ruedinger said.

Ruedinger said two cars filled with people were continuing to search for Harbison on Sunday, Oct. 9. She said she is uncertain right now if the family will organize any more search efforts.

Having been touched by the sympathy of so many people Saturday, Ruedinger said she is now pursuing closure.

“Our prayer is we find Darlene's body, so we have some closure,” Ruedinger said. “We are doing our best.”

They brought fliers to gun shops and sportsmen's clubs to inform hunters. ATV and motorcycle groups have been looking too.

Now, the family is hoping someone can get a better look in the Allegheny River. They're trying to reach river search groups who could expand the search on the water.

RR said a search group already looked at the Tarentum Bridge, but he hopes someone can search around Allegheny River Lock and Dam 9 because Harbison likes to fish there.

Allegheny County police said there are no updates on Harbison's case.

Fishing around that Lock and Dam is super dangerous. It’s unmanned and people do fish from the apron, but we see media on behalf of COE warning against it. I sure hope she didn’t go in.

Here is one article about the dangers and a video of the Lock and Dam 9 area.

I can hardly make out the picture but is it the motorcycle ?

I can't really tell either. But I was thinking if they think he is responsible, it could possibly be evidence or even her covered by a tarp in the back of the truck.
