EDINA — The family of a Missouri woman missing since May is offering a reward for information on her location.
Lindsey Watts was reported missing after she didn’t show up for work at the Blessing Center in Edina on May 20. Information that has been made public since her disappearance shows that Watts’ phone was found in a ditch near her home, while her car, keys, and wallet were all still at her residence.
On Wednesday, it was announced that a $15,000 reward is now being offered for any information that can point to the whereabouts of Watts.
Investigators working for months on the case have spoken with at least one witness who reported hearing a profanity-laced argument that was happening on the last night Watts was seen. Police have also questioned several individuals with the use of polygraphs.
Knox County and Missouri state law enforcement have conducted a search of a vehicle, a cell phone found in the vehicle, and records from that phone to assist with the investigation, with warrants for information served on phone carriers Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and US Cellular, as well as social media platforms Facebook and Snapchat.
Anyone who may have relevant information related to Watts’ location or anything that could be relevant to the investigation is asked to call the Knox County Sheriff’s Department at 660-397-2186, ext. 1.
