Philadelphia, PA – Pennsylvania State Police are renewing efforts in a decades-old missing person case, offering a $5,000 reward for information that could help solve the 1985 disappearance of Jeanine Barnwell.
According to Pennsylvania State Police Troop K, Philadelphia’s Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit continues to investigate Barnwell’s disappearance from the 5169 block of Wakefield Street. Authorities say the case, which dates back to Saturday, November 15, 1985, remains unsolved despite ongoing review and public outreach.
Investigators noted that Barnwell’s disappearance was not immediately reported to law enforcement. It is believed she may have been missing prior to the official report date, adding complexity to the timeline and limiting early investigative leads.
The case is now being highlighted again through Pennsylvania’s PSP Tips program, which offers cash rewards for information that leads to an arrest or helps locate missing persons. Officials emphasize that all tips can be submitted confidentially.
Anyone with information related to Barnwell’s disappearance is urged to contact the Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit at Troop K, Philadelphia, by calling 215-452-5216. Tips can also be submitted toll-free at 1-800-472-8477 or online through the PSP Tips system.
Authorities continue to encourage the public to come forward, stressing that even small details could be critical in advancing the case after nearly four decades.
