The Pennsylvania State Police, Troop M, Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit and the Northampton Borough Police Department are still investigating the disappearance and murder of Kelly Frances McBride, who was reported missing by her father on March 23, 1984.

At the time of her disappearance, the 22-year-old McBride was living on East 8th Street in Northampton with her husband and 5-year-old son. Her husband told investigators she left the area of her own volition sometime in February 1984. His story was not credible and was contrary to physical evidence collected later in the investigation, according to police.

Kelly’s husband, James McBride, was convicted of killing her in 2001, and is serving a life sentence in prison. Her remains have never been recovered.

Additional information relative this case is available on the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System website at www.findthemissing.org (NamUs Missing Person Case #25246).
