The reward for information leading to the finding of missing Kentucky mother Savannah Spurlock has been raised to $15,000 as authorities try to find her.
The information must be given to law enforcement to be eligible for the reward. Law enforcement personnel or other people involved in the search are not eligible.
Spurlock, 22, a mother of four, was last seen on surveillance footage in the early hours of Jan. 4 after leaving the Other Bar in Lexington with three men.
The men were questioned but have not been charged with any wrongdoing.
“There was a man driving the car. Savannah was in the passenger seat. There were at least two people in the back seat talking. … I heard one of them tell me to ‘chill,’” Ellen Spurlock said. “They were also hollering other things but I couldn’t make it out. I was just checking on my daughter.”
She added, “I do not believe Savannah left this home on her own. She had no car, no money, no phone, and no coat. Where would she go? I don’t believe that for a second.”
After the new reward was announced, Ellen said she hoped it would lead to a conclusion of the case.
Her best friend said recently that loved ones think that at least one person is holding back information.
She recalled being alerted to her friend’s disappearance by Spurlock’s mother, who thought her daughter might be with Speratos.
“I started calling around to everyone I knew, all of our acquaintances, I was freaked out,” Speratos said. “We took it serious ... she’s such a considerate person, she had her mom’s vehicle and she knew [her mother] had responsibilities. We knew something wasn’t right.”
The focus of the family and friends has been on the rural home, since police said they know she was there.
“Police can confirm she was at that house, but they can’t confirm that she left,” Spurlock’s aunt, Lisa Thoma, told Inside Edition. “That is like a dagger sticking in my brain; that seems like a big deal.”
