Details of Disappearance

Bieberbach was last seen in the 1500 block of Empire Road in Empire, Alabama on March 6, 2018. She has never been heard from again. She was reported missing by her sister on May 20, over two months after her disappearance. By this point the sisters had not spoken for four months, something which wasn't unusual, as Bierebach was often out of touch with her family.

One of her last posts on social media read, "3,2,1 blast off to the moon." Investigators believe she may have had someone pick her up so she could buy heroin. One theory is that she died of a drug overdose and whoever she was with disposed of her body to avoid facing criminal charges. She had been clean and sober for some time, but relapsed after her daughter's death from cancer several months before her disappearance, and planned to enter a long-term substance abuse treatment facility.

Bierbach left behind a young son. Because she has outstanding warrants for her arrest, it's possible she's simply hiding from the law. She has ties to Jasper, Cordova and Attalla in Alabama, and has previously lived in southern California, Wichita Falls, Texas and Cape May, New Jersey. Few details are available in her case.
