HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa. — (WPXI) – After a report was issued on Tuesday notifying the public about a missing young woman, Pennsylvania State Police have confirmed the entire situation was a hoax. According to initial reports, Chloe Stein, 23, was last seen leaving Sonic in Hempfield Township at 10:30 p.m. on Monday night. She allegedly texted her boyfriend shortly after saying she had been pulled over. Stein was driving a Volkswagen Beetle. The car was found abandoned on Tuesday along Radebaugh Road. Tuesday night, Pennsylvania State Police gave an update that Stein has been located safely. They later confirmed the situation was a hoax. Police said Stein sent the text to her boyfriend, but that she was not pulled over. A tip from Penn State helped police solve the case. They mentioned Stein had not been attending classes for nearly a year. Previous information indicated Stein was a senior in college who was about to graduate. Stein allegedly ditched her car after driving a short distance following her shift at Sonic. She then made her way to Jeannette and stayed at the home of an acquaintance for about 21 hours. Police said they spent tens of thousands of dollars in resources Tuesday, including sending a chopper into the air on a bad weather day, which is something they would not have done if they didn’t believe she was in danger. She is now facing a list of charges for the incident: false alarm to agency of public safety, false reports, obstruction of administration of law and other governmental functions, disorderly conduct.
