Sheffield, Vermont - September 22, 2010

The reward has been raised for information that helps solve the mystery of a missing woman in the Northeast Kingdom.

Pat O'Hagan, 78, disappeared almost two weeks ago. Police believe she was kidnapped from her home on Route 122.

The FBI, state police and O'Hagan's family are all offering rewards totaling $20,000 for information that leads to an arrest in the case.

And O'Hagan's family has launched a new web site -- www.findpatohagan.com.

A candlelight vigil is planned in support of the family Thursday night at the Town Hall in Sheffield.

Vermont State Police are still asking the public to call them with tips at the barracks in St. Johnsbury at 802-748-3111 or the State Police Crime Information Tip Line at 802-241-5355.
