Reward money raised in missing woman case

By: News 8 Austin Staff

The parents of Rachel Cooke are hoping more money will lead to more clues in the disappearance of their daughter.

The reward for information that leads to the missing 19-year-old woman went up from $10,000 to $25,000 on Saturday.

Organizers of the search said Georgetown police have questioned the one man they were looking for. Officers thought that man may have seen Cooke. Authorities said they spoke with him, and they've cleared him from the case.

Cooke disappeared while on a jog near her parents home near Georgetown on Jan. 10. She was visiting her parents while on break from college in California.
