Search for missing girl continues 10 years later
By KVAL Web StaffRIDDLE, Ore. -- The family of Stephanie Condon is hosting a candlelight vigil in remembrance of Stephanie on Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Riddle city park, one week after the FBI and local officials took another look at a pond for clues to her disappearance. Everyone is welcome to attend and asked to bring their own candles. The family also encourages the public to visit www.findstephanienow.com . Thursday marks the 10th anniversary of the disappearance of Stephanie Condon. Stephanie was 14 years old when she disappeared while babysitting at a residence on Henry Street in Tri City in 1998. Stephanie has never been found and foul play is suspected. This case will continue to be classified as an active and open case, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. Last Thursday, searchers took advantage of low water in Herbert's Pond to check for clues. Sheriff's office and FBI were on the scene using special search devices to check the pond. Investigators say they've searched the lake before, but this was a chance to do it more thoroughly while the water was down. "The Condon Task Force members felt this was a good opportunity to do a more thorough search of that area," said Dwes Hutson with the sheriff's office. "The task force was assisted by an evidence recovery team from the FBI. That team has some specialized equipment they were able to utilize, and do a pretty thorough search of that area." Hutson said the pond has always been of interest in the Condon investigation, but he said nothing was found during the search. The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the disappearance of Stephanie Condon has been increased to $25,000. The FBI is offering $20,000 and the Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial reward Foundation is offering $5,000. If you have any information, please call the Detective Division tip line at (541) 957-2099. |
