Pennsylvania State Police mark 50 years since Delaware County teen Wendy Eaton went missing
The cold case of Wendy Eaton, a 15-year-old girl who vanished while walking to Media Borough in Delaware County, has hit 50 years in the cold case unit of the Pennsylvania State Police.
Eaton, who was a sophomore at Penncrest High School, was last seen at 2:40 p.m. at the intersection of Indian Lane and Media Station Road in Middletown Township on May 17, 1975. She had stayed home that day while her family went golfing, planning to walk into town to buy a birthday present and card for her older brother.
Police say at the time of her disappearance, Eaton was wearing a yellow sleeveless terrycloth blouse, cutoff denim shorts, and white sneakers with a blue stripe. She may have been wearing gold-rimmed eyeglasses and possibly a class ring with a red stone. She is deaf in her right ear, has pierced ears, and is left-handed.

Described as a good student, musically talented, and active in church and scouting, Wendy was known for her kindness and reliability. Her family emphasized that she would never have missed her church choir rehearsal scheduled for that evening.
Officials say public assistance is vital in advancing cold case investigations like Wendy Eaton’s disappearance.
Over time, new information, eyewitness accounts, or details that may have been overlooked can emerge, helping to break through investigative dead ends. The Pennsylvania State Police urges anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward and help bring closure to Wendy’s family and the community.
You can contact the Pennsylvania State Police by calling (215) 452-5216.

Planned Parenthood advocates and leaders in Pennsylvania say a federal proposal to block clinics from participating in the Medicaid health insurance program could lead to future closures across the commonwealth.
An estimated 20,000 Pennsylvanians who get health care at Planned Parenthood clinics across the state have Medicaid insurance, according to Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania Advocates, the advocacy and lobbying arm of the health care organization.
“It punishes patients for accessing care at Planned Parenthood, and it will raise health care costs for everyone,” said Signe Espinoza, executive director of the advocacy and lobby arm.
The proposal, led by Republican lawmakers, is part of a larger national budget plan that includes Trump administration wish list items like tax cuts, increased military spending and reductions to assistance programs like food stamps.
In the bill is a provision that would prohibit federal Medicaid dollars from going to nonprofit family planning health centers that provide abortions.
The Hyde Amendment, which took effect in 1977, bans federal funding from being used for most abortion services. The new proposal would also ban Medicaid reimbursements for preventative health care like birth control, cancer screenings and testing for sexually transmitted diseases at these clinics.
Three affiliates — Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania, Planned Parenthood Keystone and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania — manage 21 health centers and clinics across the state.
The impact would be twofold, Espinoza said. Patients with Medicaid may no longer be able to get routine care and procedures at Planned Parenthood centers if they can’t afford the out-of-pocket costs.
