The family of a missing Hobart woman has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to her return.

It has been months since relatives have heard from Shannon Orton, 37, who is a mother of two, her family said.

Orton was reported missing Sept. 30 by a relative, who said Orton was last seen July 5 in the 600 block of West 37th Avenue, Hobart police Capt. James Gonzales said.

I checked area LE records to see if she's had a ticket or arrest. Nothing. There was a DUI 4 years ago but that's it. Did she have driving privileges? (with car on foot when she went missing) http://s3.amazonaws.com/nixle/uploads/pub_media/user37650-1497965866-media1

the wording by the family indicates she has disappeared before. Possible drugs involved?
