One Pennsylvania couple is traveling across the country searching for their 37 year-old daughter who ran away as they were trying to take her to a psychiatric facility.

Nancy and Bill Bachman are traveling from Pennsylvania to California on Interstate 80searching for their missing daughter, Susan Bachman. They stopped in Kearney Monday.

A flyer for Susan says she may be using an assumed name or refuse to give a name. She is experiencing paranoid delusions and may claim to work for a government agency or to be serving as a medical agent for truck drivers. She may appear lucid and sober, but make statements highly inconsistent with reality. 

Susan went missing in Pennsylvania on July 4th, after jumping out of a car traveling at highway speeds.

She was last sighted by a security guard at a truck stop near Gary, Indiana on July 11th. She had hitched a ride with a truck driver. At the time, she was trying to get a ride westbound on I-80.

Now her parents are on the road trying to find Susan.

Susan is a white female, with freckles, green eyes and red hair. She is 5 ft. 4 in. and 140 lbs.

The story is making national headlines. If you have any information in the case,please contact your local law enforcement. There is also a Facebook Page called Find Susan Bachman. You can also visit www.FindSusanBachman.com for more information.

***UPDATE***

Police: Remains of Missing Woman Found

DUBOIS - Police believe they found remains of 37-year-old Susan Bachman in the same area where she jumped from a moving car last July.

Pennsylvania State Police at DuBois told the family that a skull and jawbone found in that area is a tentative match for Susan. They matched dental records the family provided. State Police were preparing to do a cadaver dog search next Monday. They were figuring out a search area when they came across those body parts. The family does not believe there was any foul play. 

Susan Bachman went missing back in July 2014. Her family was taking her to Clarion Psychiatric Center for a mental health evaluation when she jumped from a moving car off I-80. After that, her family drove across the country searching for her and took to social media to raise awareness to try and bring her home. The family says it is possible that she died from injuries suffered after she jumped out of that moving car.

Again, this is a tentative match. The family tells WTAJ those remains will be sent to a forensic lab in Lewisburg for confirmation.

This was unfortunate and all prayers go out to the family, but my question would be did no one go back to look for her after jumping out of the car. And if so how far could she gave gotten in the event she did lose her life due to the accident. Or did they find remains NEAR the general area and not actually in the said area.
