OAKLAND — A reward for information that can help police find Nina Reiser, a missing mother of two, has increased to $25,000 because of public donations received online.
The additional $10,000 in reward money was collected through a Web site, http://www.ninareiser.com, in public donations ranging from $5 to $1,000.
Reiser disappeared Sept. 3 after dropping off her children, ages 5 and 7, at the home of her estranged husband, Hans Reiser.
Authorities, who have searched local parks and other locations with cadaver dogs and teams of volunteers, believe Nina Reiser is dead and have charged Hans Reiser with her murder. His attorneys have said he will plead not guilty. In spite of the murder charges, Nina Reiser's friends and family are continuing their campaign to locate her.
The 18 billboards that have been erected throughout Oakland will be updated within the next week or so to reflect the new reward, said Anthony Zografos, Nina Reiser's boyfriend.
"We plead with anyone with information that may help police locate Nina to come forward. It is the right thing for the community, Nina's friends and family, and most importantly, her children who are faced with the prospect of never finding out where their mother is," Zografos said.
Zografos and volunteers have set up a Web site with more information at http://www.ninareiser.com. Also, a benefit for Reiser's children is planned for mid-December to help raise money for their future.
