Additionally, the Fleming family organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise awareness and garner contributions from community members to fund a reward for information.
A new reward of $100,000 has since been offered for information that leads to the discovery of Gretchen, as well as the arrest and conviction of the person(s) involved in her disappearance.
“It is my continual prayer that they [anyone with information] come forward and speak with us, that they feel compelled to do so,” Board stated.
David Fleming, Gretchen’s father, also issued a thankful message to community members, as well as a heartfelt message to his daughter.
“I really want to thank the community for coming together for our family. The passion, donations, just being there for us. Thank you,” David said.
“Gretchen, I love you. We will find you, I promise.”
At the time she vanished, Gretchen was between 5’0″ and 5’2″, weighed between 100 and 120 pounds, and had brown hair and brown eyes.
If you have any information regarding her case, you are urged to contact the Parkersburg Police Department at (304) 424-8444 or lead Detective James Zimmerman at (304) 424-1072.
