Cincinnati restaurant owner Jeff Ruby has doubled the reward amount leading to clues in the disappearance of missing Fairfield woman Katelyn Markham.
Ruby announced on Thursday that he is adding $25,000 to the reward, bringing the total to $50,000, according to WKRC Local 12.
The other $25,000 was made by an anonymous donor.
Markham, a 22-year-old art student, was last seen Aug. 13 at her Dorshire Drive townhouse, but authorities say there was no evidence of a crime.
When Markham disappeared, her car, keys, purse and dog were still at the residence, and those who know her said she was happy.
Despite several searches by family, friends and organizations, there are still no leads on her whereabouts.
Fairfield Police Chief Mike Dickey said he applauds Ruby’s generosity.
“I’m sure there are individuals out there with information that would take notice. I applaud him for doing that. I think it’s very generous of him,” he said.
Ruby was involved in a few of the searches and opened his wallet to feed the volunteers, according Local 12.
Cincinnati Police Officer Rachel Reuss said CrimeStoppers has not received any recent tips on Markham.
“I know we haven’t had a lot of tips, if we have any,” she said.
