And police announced that the provincial government is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Amber Ellis’s disappearance.

“I am confident this reward will provide added incentive for anyone who has been hesitant in providing police with information that can assist our investigators in bringing this case to a resolution for Amber’s grieving family,” said Det. Insp. Chris Josiah, of the OPP criminal investigation branch.

She is described as five-foot-nine and weighing 120 pounds, with brown eyes, long dark hair and a thin build.

The OPP’s criminal investigation branch is heading a team of investigators that also include members of Brantford and Six Nations police and Haldimand OPP.
