OCEAN CITY — The FBI in conjunction with the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office offered a $50,000 reward on Thursday, March 11, for information that leads to the recovery of John Weisbecker.
Weisbecker disappeared from his Ocean City home under suspicious circumstances shortly before noon on Wednesday, March 11, 2008.
Weisbecker is described as a white male, brown hair, brown mustache, last seen wearing a black t-shirt with “SEEDLESS” across the front, dark jeans, and brown “ES” brand sneakers. According to police, Weisbecker has numerous tattoos on his torso and both arms.
Attempts to contact Weisbecker have been unsuccessful and information gained from family and friends have not provided any information on his whereabouts.
Police encourage anyone who may have contact with Weisbecker to contact the Prosecutor’s Office at (609) 465-1135, the Ocean City Police Department at (609) 399-9111, or Cape May County Crime Stoppers (609) 465-2800.
This week’s reward announcement is just the latest effort at finding Weisbecker. The various law enforcement agencies continue to investigate the case.
Last April, Cape May County Sheriff Gary Schaffer announced a new anonymous tip texting capability his office had acquired. The announcement was made in Ocean City because of the Weisbecker case, Schaffer said.
Since the missing person is younger, someone who might know something about the case might also be young and more comfortable with texting a lead to police rather than calling a tip in, Schaffer suggested.
“Police have exhausted every lead into the Weisbecker disappearance,” Schaffer said. “We are hoping with this texting technology which preserves anonymity, someone will come forward with new information.”
