FOR CITY TIMES

FRIENDSHIP – On Thursday, June 27, at 8:19 a.m. the Adams County Sheriff’s Office received a call from an individual advising they had not been able to contact Sharon K. Miller, age 62, of Friendship for three days. The person advised she went to Sharon’s home located in the Adams County Town of Strongs Prairie, and that Sharon and Sharon’s son, Jami L. Lumby, age 37, were not there. Deputies arrived and checked the property and did not locate either person. Deputies identified recent ground disturbance consistent with digging or the burying of something on the property. A search warrant to further search the property was obtained. 

An unidentified adult body was located concealed on the property. An autopsy has not yet been performed and the circumstances around the death are still being investigated, but deemed suspicious.
