Heather Coburn, a 43-year-old woman from Niagara Falls, New York, was last seen on September 19, 2015. On that day, witnesses reported seeing her go over the edge of Niagara Falls at Prospect's Point. The act was described by onlookers as intentional. At the time of her disappearance, Heather was described as being 5'3' tall and weighing between 100 and 105 pounds. She had blond or strawberry blond hair and hazel eyes.
When she was last seen, she was wearing a silver-toned ring on her right hand.
Immediately following the witness reports, a search and rescue operation was initiated. However, the swift and powerful waters of the falls made the search effort extremely challenging, and ultimately, she was not located. The dangerous conditions of the water made the likelihood of survival incredibly low. Despite the efforts of the emergency crews who responded to the scene, her body was never recovered. The New York State Park Police and the New York State Police were involved in the investigation.
The circumstances of Heather's disappearance have led authorities and her family to conclude the tragic event was the result of a deliberate act. An obituary published by her family announced her sudden passing, stating that she chose to end her life after a long struggle with anorexia and depression. The family expressed their comfort in knowing she is now at peace. Her case remains open, though the details surrounding her disappearance have provided a sorrowful understanding of the event.Last Seen: Sep 19, 2015
