Restaurateur offers $25K reward in Ohio missing woman case

CINCINNATI (AP) — A restaurateur is offering a $25,000 reward for information in the case of a 22-year-old Ohio woman missing nearly six months.

Jeff Ruby says he hopes the money will lead to progress in learning what happened to Katelyn Markham. The art college student was reportedly last seen Aug. 13 at her home in the northern Cincinnati suburb of Fairfield.

Fairfield police say they are still pursuing the case, and hope the reward will generate new information.

Ruby’s restaurants in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana include The Precinct in Cincinnati and namesake steakhouses in Cincinnati, Louisville and at the Belterra casino.
