LIMERICK — The family of a Limerick Township woman who has been missing since Jan. 3 increased the amount of a reward offered for information that assists law enforcement in locating her while authorities said they are actively investigating her disappearance.
The family of 43-year-old Jennifer Brown is now offering a $15,000 reward for information that assists in locating her, an increase from the $10,000 originally offered last week. Friends and family of the woman also held a candlelight vigil last weekend and created a Facebook page to share information.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele described the case as “an active investigation.”
“The investigation into Jennifer Brown’s disappearance is an active investigation and at this time, we cannot provide any specific details without jeopardizing our work. Our detectives are looking at all aspects of her disappearance and have interviewed numerous people connected to her life,” Steele said in a statement.
“We have received hundreds of tips from the general public, but unfortunately none have provided any significant leads, and there have been no credible sightings of Jennifer to date,” Steele added.
Authorities, who released a missing person flyer last week, said Brown is white with brown hair and green eyes. Brown, of Stratford Court, is 5-feet, 1-inches tall and weighs approximately 150 pounds. Brown was last seen at 2 p.m., Jan. 3 by a friend and business associate, according to authorities.
Brown, according to authorities, was scheduled to pick up her son from a bus stop the following afternoon on Jan. 4, but did not show up. Her vehicle was parked outside of her home and her car keys, wallet, purse and work cellphone were found inside the residence, authorities said.
Brown’s personal cellphone has not been found and has not been communicating since the morning of Jan. 4.
Steele said if anyone has seen Brown or has any information that might be helpful in locating her, that they should call the Limerick Township Police at 610-495-7909 or Montgomery County Detectives at 610-226-5553.
