Reward offered in search for missing Fulton County woman
A private donor has offered a $25,000 reward for information about the disappearance of 20-year-old Sierah Joughin, whose bike was found in a cornfield on a Fulton County road this week.

Officials observed some type of disturbance around the bike, which was three to four rows deep into the cornfield, Sheriff Miller said. The corn around the bike had been trampled.
Today, volunteers are gathering to conduct a search for Ms. Joughin. The search area is being expanded to a four-square-mile radius. Authorities are asking anyone who has security systems or cameras to check those too for any suspicious footage.
On afternoon, the intersection of County Road T and County Road 6 remained blocked by the state highway patrol, restricting travel northbound on County Road 6 past the cornfield where the bike was found.

Ms. Joughin, who family say has no enemies, is also working as a summer intern for a company her that uncle, Howard Ice, owns.
Shes a very stable person, Mr. Ice said, adding that the disappearance was highly uncharacteristic of her.

Given the suspicious nature of the disappearance, the FBI has gotten involved at Fulton Countys request. FBI special agent and Toledo supervisor Jake Hardie and his office is working alongside other agencies.
Officials already have used a specialized search dog from the Columbus area to scour the area.
After the sheriffs office found the bike early Wednesday morning, it contacted the state for help. Using a helicopter with infrared vision, officials searched the area before contacting the FBI and other agencies at daylight that day.
