Reward Offered for Photos and Information on Victoria Schafer's Death

Monday morning, another plea for information went out for a local businesswoman who was killed at Old Man's Cave.

Chillicothe-Ross Chamber president Mike Throne led the short news conference about photographer Victoria Schafer at the PACCAR Center on the campus of Adena Regional Medical Center Monday morning.

Throne said whatever happened when a branch was dislodged and killed her, he hopes the family can get resolution - especially with the large number of cameras used by all the people who were there on Labor Day.

He said a photo that might have useful information in the background could be in Toledo, Kentucky, New York, or anywhere - with the crowd present on the holiday.

Southern Ohio Crime Stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to arrest and conviction, but Schafer's family and local buisnesspeople are supporting funding a separate reward for ANY information.

Schafer's husband and sister were also at the conference.

Officials from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which manages the park, said they could not release any additional information while the investigation is ongoing.
