The reward for information that could help lead police to missing New Jersey 14-year-old Jashyah Moore's location has reached $15,000, thanks to an anonymous donor.
Moore was last seen on Oct. 14 around 10 a.m. EST, when she walked to Poppie’s Deli Store at 520 Central Avenue in East Orange, New Jersey.
"An anonymous local business owner has donated $5,000 to the reward in the search for Jashyah Moore," the East Orange Police Department said in a Nov. 6 Facebook post.
Jashyah's mother, Jamie Moore, went to Poppie's Deli Store twice on Oct. 14 — once around 7:30 a.m. and again around 10 a.m. Jamie Moore sent her daughter back to the store after Jashyah said she lost the credit card she had brought to the deli. Her mother told her to retrace her steps, which is the last time Jamie saw her daughter, East Orange Police Chief Phyllis Bindi said during a Nov. 5 press conference.
Security footage from Poppie's Deli Store on Oct. 14 appears to show the teenager entering the store with an adult male "who paid for her items," but does not appear to show her leaving the store with the same male, Bindi explained at the time.
Jamie Moore appeared teary-eyed at the press conference when she walked reporters through the events on Oct. 14.
