Police are hoping an offer of a cash reward will jog someone's memory and lead to the discovery of a boy who vanished from his Benton Heights neighborhood more than three years ago.
Benton Township police announced Wednesday that a California-based foundation is offering $5,000 for information leading to the safe return of Steven Kraft, who was last seen on Feb. 15, 2001.
Steven was 12 at the time he disappeared and a sixth-grader at Hull Elementary School. He would now be 15.
Detective Tom Vaught, speaking at an afternoon news conference, said police continue to get tips on the case and follow up every lead.
He said the reward might cause somebody to recall a bit of information that could provide police with a needed break in the case.
"It's my belief that somebody in this community has some idea about what happened to Stevie Kraft," Vaught said. "We have a lot of hope that we can resolve this case."
