Missing Wall woman found dead

Allegheny County police are searching for a missing Wall woman whose vehicle was found in North Versailles.

www.cbsnews.com

News article: Maria Kraus, a resident of Wall, was last seen February 10 at 8:45 a.m. Her vehicle was found at the intersection of East Pittsburgh McKeesport Boulevard and Braddock Avenue in North Versailles the same day. Maria is 38 years old, five foot two inches tall and about 215 pounds. She is a white female with brown hair and hazel eyes.

Google Maps shows that intersection near a bridge and some steep drop offs, but the roadways are surrounded by tall fencing. It doesn't even appear there is enough room on the side of the road to park a vehicle.

Her family said that her phone was shut off, and a witness reported seeing her walking along the side of the road Monday shortly after noon.

This is all over the local community on social media, so there’s definitely local attention.

This is so sad. I wonder if her car was in working order?

 

[truthfinder2019]

Was she seen at 12h30 walking away from her car or back towards it? O e side of the bridge has a high fence, the other side a wooded area underneath. I hope people driving there will come forward with tips, this is so worrying.

News article with more reported sightings, all from the day she went missing. It sounds like a lot of people were and are searching for her and she is beloved by many:

From the same SUN article

“He and his family are holding out hope that Maria left her car, which had broken down and was picked up by someone who is holding her against her will.

Did her boyfriend see her around 12:30 in the area? This group of quotes in the article is confusing to me. Was it the boyfriend who didn't stop because he didn't want to be late coming back from lunch or someone else?

Grondziowski, her boyfriend, was among those who said she was last seen around 12:30pm in the area.

"I am feeling so bad at this time," another person wrote.

"I seen her at the same location @ noon and she was still in the same area at about 12:56, wanted stop but didn’t want to be late from lunch.

I hope this is acceptable to share. Her boyfriend promptly shared a MSM news article about her missing status on his FB page, requesting tips and help. Many of her coworkers, friends, etc. did the same. The Sun article I posted involved a lot of comments on FB news articles, but as far as I can tell, The Sun didn't contact any of them for further comment.

The bridge? Her belongings left where she disappeared.
? In that case it would seem someone tried to stage a suicide, I am not sure in this one ?

No news on MSN for Maria, that I could find.

No updates unfortunately :-(

I worked with her brother many years ago. Very nice guy. Haven't heard anything in awhile on this one.
