Samantha Miscik Missing – Pennsylvania State Police Search for Endangered 17-Year-Old

The Pennsylvania State Police Troop A – Greensburg Station is asking for the public’s assistance in locating 17-year-old Samantha Miscik, who has been reported missing and is considered endangered. Investigators are urging anyone with information about her whereabouts to come forward as efforts continue to locate her and ensure her safe return.

According to Pennsylvania State Police, Samantha was last seen leaving her home at approximately 4:36 a.m. on Friday, July 24, 2026. Investigators believe she was picked up by an unidentified man driving a green Subaru Outback. Police were unable to obtain a license plate number for the vehicle.

Authorities said the Subaru was last observed traveling north on Dillon Road in the Acme/Donegal area. Subsequent investigation determined that Samantha was dropped off in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on July 24, and police have received information indicating she was seen in the Lancaster area as recently as two days ago.

Police have expressed heightened concern for Samantha’s welfare due to her vulnerable circumstances. According to investigators, she is autistic and has mental health challenges. She also left home without her prescription glasses, increasing concerns about her ability to safely navigate her surroundings.

Samantha Miscik is described as 17 years old, approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing about 125 pounds, with red hair and brown eyes. When she was last seen, she was wearing a black shirt and black pants. Although she normally wears glasses, police say she was not wearing them when she left.

The Pennsylvania State Police are asking residents in the Greensburg, Donegal, Acme, Lancaster, and surrounding areas to remain vigilant and report any information that may assist the investigation. Officers are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who may have seen Samantha, observed the green Subaru Outback, or has information about her current whereabouts.

Investigations involving endangered missing juveniles require prompt action and strong community cooperation. Police emphasize that even seemingly minor details, such as surveillance footage, witness observations, or recent interactions with Samantha, could provide valuable leads and assist investigators in locating her safely.

Authorities continue to follow up on all available information as they work to reunite Samantha with her family. Members of the public are reminded not to dismiss information they believe may be insignificant, as every tip could contribute to the ongoing search.

Anyone with information regarding Samantha Miscik’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Pennsylvania State Police Greensburg Station at 724-832-3288 and ask to speak with Trooper Wineland. Tips may also be submitted through PSP Tips by calling 1-800-472-8477.

Police are encouraging the public to share Samantha’s missing person alert, particularly throughout western and southeastern Pennsylvania, where she is believed to have traveled. Increased public awareness may prove critical in helping investigators locate her.

As the search continues, Samantha’s family, friends, and law enforcement remain hopeful for her safe return. Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is urged to contact the Pennsylvania State Police immediately.
