The man police believe was involved in the disappearance of a Joplin woman more than two years ago has died. Police are now asking the public for help.
Sandra Spoon was reported missing by her family in August of 2005. Since that time, her family has spent countless hours searching for her and continually come up empty handed.
However, new information brought to light by a Jefferson City-based group has given the family and the police hope in the solving the case and the police are now asking for the public’s assistance.
According to Det. Mike Hobson, Edward G. Monroe had been a suspect in the case but police were unable to gather enough evidence to take the investigation to the next level. On Friday, detectives discovered Monroe died in August of 2007 in Duncan, Okla.
Hobson said this information has caused the case to take a new direction and anyone who might have seen Monroe or Sandra Spoon within a few days of her disappearance are encouraged to come forward with the information. A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the whereabouts of Sandra Spoon.
“When Missouri Missing contacted us about Sandra Spoon’s case, it gave us a reason to take a closer look,” Hobson said. “Although the case was never closed, we have been able to rejuvenate it and we are hopes of obtaining some new leads.”
