Police search for photos taken at bar before Roxborough man's disappearance

As the search for a missing Roxborough student stretched into its 12th day, investigators asked patrons at the bar where he was last seen to send police any photos they may have taken that night.

As the search for a missing Roxborough student stretched into its 12th day, investigators asked patrons at the bar where he was last seen to send police any photos they may have taken that night.

Shane Montgomery, 21, disappeared after leaving Kildare's Irish Pub in Manayunk early on Thanksgiving.

Investigators have combed the area for surveillance cameras and trawled through hundreds of hours of footage with no trace of Montgomery, a law enforcement source said.

Now, investigators searching for any leads in the West Chester University student's disappearance are asking Kildare's patrons to send in any photos taken at the bar the morning he disappeared, the source said. Patrons are asked to e-mail the photos to philadelphia.complaints@ic.fbi.gov.

Investigators have said there was no video from the bar itself, and cameras on Main Street in Manayunk are scarce, spurring some, including City Councilman Curtis Jones Jr., to call for more surveillance in the area.

With few leads in the case, the source said, investigators are following up on any and all tips fielded by police and the FBI.

Over the weekend, Montgomery's family increased the reward for information about his disappearance to $50,000. Anyone with any information on the incident is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS, Northwest Detectives at 215-686-3353, or the FBI at 215-418-4000.
