Volunteers in Philadelphia are set to hit the streets again to search for a missing college student as authorities continue to investigate the disappearance.
Family members say volunteers will be out Monday afternoon putting up posters in the area where 21-year-old Shane Montgomery was last seen. Montgomery disappeared after a night out with friends in the Manayunk section of the city last week.
Karen Montgomery says her son was escorted out of a bar at about 2 a.m. on Thursday morning and hasn’t been seen since. She says there are no new leads in the case.
The FBI has joined in the investigation with the Philadelphia Police Department, which spent Sunday searching a canal near the bar Montgomery was last seen.
A $15,000 reward is being offered in the case.
