Reward Offered for Tips on Missing Woman
Investigators continued searching Monday for a 59-year-old Castaic woman who was last seen Aug. 2 boarding a bus in downtown Los Angeles.
A $20,000 reward is being offered to anyone who provides information that leads to the safe return of Gloria “Chris” Cole, authorities said.
Also missing is Cole’s boyfriend, David Chen, according to Det. Judy Gibson of the Los Angeles County sheriff’s Missing Persons Bureau. Gibson said Chen is not a suspect in Cole’s disappearance.
Cole was last seen boarding a Castaic-bound Santa Clarita Transit bus at 3rd and Flower streets near the office where she works as a legal secretary. Her car, a 1992 teal-blue Ford Thunderbird with California license 2ZPF982 is also missing.
Cole is white, 5 feet 4 and weighs 110 pounds. She has hazel eyes and a scar on her neck and recently dyed her hair blond, Gibson said.
Anyone with information is asked to call sheriff’s detectives at (323) 890-5500.
