It is with profound sadness that family, friends, and the McClure Borough community mourn the tragic death of Amanda Kay Heimbach, 37, following a deeply heartbreaking domestic incident on West Specht Street early Sunday morning, June 28.
Amanda is being remembered as a loving, kind-hearted, and compassionate woman whose presence brought warmth and comfort to those around her. She was a devoted daughter, a loyal friend, and someone who touched many lives with her gentle spirit, generosity, and care for others. Those who knew her say she will be deeply missed and forever cherished in their hearts.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police, troopers were called to a residence just before 5:00 a.m. after receiving a report of a homicide. Investigators say Amanda’s husband, 51-year-old Jason Andrew Heimbach, allegedly confessed to killing her before fleeing the scene in a gray 2018 SUV. When authorities arrived, they found Amanda deceased inside the home.
A search for Jason continued through the morning and ended later at approximately 10:40 a.m., when police responded to a crash on State Route 104 in Perry Township involving the same SUV and a parked tractor-trailer. Officials said the vehicle was smoldering after the collision, and Jason was found dead inside.
The investigation remains ongoing. Loved ones and members of the McClure community continue to grieve Amanda’s passing, holding onto the love and memories she leaves behind while seeking comfort and answers in the wake of this tragedy.
