Police in Maine have made an arrest in the murder of a missing woman who vanished while undergoing cancer treatments.

Kimberly Hardy, 42, of Monticello, was reported missing on June 18 by her mother, who reported it to Maine State Police. Hardy was last seen on June 16 in New Limerick. Her family and friends had been unable to contact her and were concerned for her safety, police said.

Hardy was described as having very short hair “due to cancer treatments which are supposed to be ongoing,” according to police, who noted that it was unclear if she had her required medications at the time of her disappearance.

Personal items, including her vehicle and pet cat Pevy, were also left behind, police said, raising the level of concern.

Maine State Police, the Maine Warden Service and the state police’s Major Crimes Unit had been searching for Hardy since she was reported missing.

On Monday, police announced they had arrested Hardy’s live-in boyfriend, 39-year-old Jayme Schnackenberg, at his home in Monticello for Hardy’s murder after a body was found.
