Monday, December 13, 2004
The search for a missing Kansas City woman has shifted to the Independence area after her car was found here over the weekend
Summer Shipp, 54, was last seen in a central Independence neighborhood Wednesday as she was conducting door-to-door market research surveys. She was reported missing Friday after her family had not heard from her and she did not come into work.
Detective George Parks of the Independence Police Department said her car, a bronze four-door BMW, was discovered on the 1500 block of West College Terrace Saturday.
"There is no evidence of foul play at this time," he said. "We have talked to people in the neighborhood who recall seeing her in the neighborhood, but we haven't found someone who knows where she went."
Search dogs from Leavenworth, Kan., were brought in to assist in the search, but no evidence of where Shipp might have gone was found.
Parks said there are few leads in the case. He said the Police Department is looking for anyone who has any information on the whereabouts of the woman.
"There are fliers all over the place," he said. "We will follow up on whatever leads come into our office."
At this time, Parks said it appears Shipp disappeared while she was working in Independence. However, it is unclear exactly when she was last seen or where the woman might have gone.
Shipp is 5 foot 1 inch and 105 pounds. She has strawberry blond hair. Her family is offering a $10,000 reward for information that could lead to finding Shipp.
If anyone has information on Shipp or her location, call 474-TIPS.
