A person who wants to remain anonymous has pledged a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the whereabouts of Heather Teague – the Kentucky woman who was abducted from Newburgh Beach almost 29 years ago.
The Courier & Press has spoken with the person – who requested anonymity for their own safety – and confirmed their identity. Sarah Teague, Heather’s mother, also said she’s met and talked with the person multiple times.
It’s Sarah Teague’s latest effort to bring closure to a case that’s remained unsolved since Aug. 26, 1995 – when an eyewitness said they saw a bearded, scraggly haired, gun-toting man emerge from a line of trees along the Ohio River and drag the sunbathing 23-year-old Heather away.
She hasn’t been seen since.
“There are answers. There are people who have known for 28 years, five months and seven days today where Heather is,” Sarah Teague told the Courier & Press on Friday. “And what really happened … on Newburgh Beach.”
The Courier & Press reached out to Kentucky State Police for comment. Spokesman Trooper Corey King said he’d forward it along to the investigating officers. They hadn’t responded as of Monday.
