Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP122610) and 4 other sources
On May 5, 2024, 55-year-old Nancy Kanca-Miller was reported missing from Sayreville, New Jersey. She is a Caucasian female with blond or strawberry-colored hair and blue eyes, standing at approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 120 pounds. At the time she went missing, she was believed to be wearing a black sweatshirt. The New Jersey State Police from the Troop D Holmdel Station are handling the investigation into her disappearance.

The circumstances surrounding Nancy's disappearance are distressing. A witness reported seeing a woman, later identified as Nancy, descending from the Driscoll Bridge into the Raritan River. This event was subsequently confirmed by surveillance footage from the Department of Transportation, which captured the incident. This critical piece of evidence provided a definitive last known location and a focus for the immediate response that followed.

In the wake of the confirmed sighting, extensive rescue and recovery operations were initiated in the Raritan River. Despite these thorough efforts by authorities, the searches concluded without success. The investigation into her disappearance remains open, handled by the New Jersey State Police. The case is a painful one, marked by the chilling confirmation of a witness account through video evidence, followed by a search that unfortunately did not lead to her recovery, leaving her loved ones seeking answers. The New Jersey State Police continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.
