Holding out hope For Amanda Jones
It has been more than a month since the disappearance of Amanda Jones. Her friends and family gathered at the Hillsboro Civic Center, the last place Jones was seen to pray together for her safe return and collect money for her bills.
Jones’ father, Hubert Propst, said he would continue to pay for his daughter’s utilities, insurance and car payment until she returns home. The money will also go to support Jones’ 4-year-old daughter.
Jones was also nine months pregnant at the time of her disappearance.
“Sometimes you have to look out for people in your own backyard,” said Tammy Fadler, who won a $110 bid for a pair of Cardinal tickets. “We have given to Katrina victims, but you also have to look out for your neighbors.”
Nearly 300 items were available at the silent auction. Local businesses also donated 80 gift certificates to the event.
A $100,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in Jones’ disappearance.
