Reward grows to $60,000 for missing Oakley woman
A reward for information leading to a 24-year-old missing Oakley woman’s location has increased to $60,000 this week, police have announced.
The larger reward is thanks to a recent $50,000 contribution from an anonymous donor, Oakley police said in a statement on Monday.
Oakley police first announced a $10,000 reward on April 28 for information leading to the whereabouts of Alexis Gabe, a recent nursing school graduate, who was last seen on Jan. 26 in Antioch. Gabe had gone to her ex-boyfriend’s home that night, and a key piece of evidence, her custom phone case, was later discovered nearby, her family has said.
A second search of her ex-boyfriend’s home on Benttree Way was conducted on Thursday. The first was on Feb. 1.
“The Oakley Police Department and partner agencies are relentlessly working on this case and investigating the circumstances surrounding her disappearance,” Oakley Police Chief Paul Beard said in a statement on Monday. “Our hope is that the reward funds will bring us closer to finding Alexis and bringing resolution to the Gabe family.”
Beard also noted that police were grateful for “the donor’s generous contribution and to the community for their continued support.”
Oakley Police Detective Tyler Horn urged those with information to come forward.
“We continue to comb through all the tips received and are working on this case around the clock,” he said. “We ask that anyone with information please contact us.”
Those with information as to Gabe’s whereabouts are asked to call 925-625-7009 or write to Alexistips@ci.oakley.ca.us
