I have been following this for the past two weeks now. I have been following the whole Kortne dissapearance since the beginning but came accross this thread a few weeks ago. I had previously tried to post things and didn't have permission.
I am a local here in Palmyra, and actually have a few friends of friends, who knew Kortne, I myself did not. I have heard a lot of different theories with regards to what they all beleive happened. I don't know what is allowed to be stated here so I won't go into that, but many beleive she is still with us.
My family is also good friends with neighbor TS who recently was just talked about.
He has been a long time family friend and is a very friendly guy who my kids love to mess with. I don't see TS as being someone who would physically hurt someone. Yes as you have seen he did suffer an injury several years back. I know he is back to working thus his injuries weren't as bad as the other guys in that accident and he is able to walk, work etc. I don't socialize on a regular basis with him, but as I stated he has been a long time friend of my families and attends all of our family functions, picnics etc. I just can't see him hurting someone or making someone dissapear.
I pray everyday that Kortne is found safe and pray for strength for the family as they are going through this whole ordeal.
I really don't like how quiet it has been in this area regarding everything. And I truly doubt that the local law enforcement are properly handling things, I had an issue with kids vandalizing my 7 yo sons property and nothing was done about it. Took me 4 weeks of calling just to get pieces back and even then they wouldn't let me know what they were doing about it. I have very little faith in our local law enforcement and I grew up here.
While Palmyra is a very quiet hush town, it isn't an innocent town by far. There are many local drug dealers, there are many local teenage troublemakers and there are tons of sex offenders up and down the 2 main streets (most accessed in and out) in Palmyra.
Recently a local head shop/tattoo parlor and car dealership in Palmyra was shut down after an incident of burglery and self defense, which caused them to investigate and apparently the shop was also doing other stuff - IDK ultimately why it was shut down, but I know that incident had created the searches etc. Here is a link to that information.

I just felt it was necessary to speak up and also provide insight into Palmyra, PA. As many people haven't or may not even be fully aware themselves, that Palmyra is certainly not what they thought it was. Not saying it is a bad town as I had moved after I graduated and was in Lebanon and came back here for my children to go to a better school. But it isn't the angel town everyone makes it out to be either. It certainly is not the town that I grew up in where everyone knew each other, Palmyra has grown significantly.
Prayers continue for Kortne and her family! I hope this is all solved/figured out soon.
