The family of a missing coffee shop owner who hasn’t been seen since March is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to her safe return home, the Oakland Police Department said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Amy Hillyard, 52, is the owner of the beloved Farley’s coffee shops and was last seen twice on March 25, first in the 500 block of Radnor Road in Oakland’s Cleveland Heights neighborhood south of Lake Merritt at about 2 p.m., then she was spotted on video footage at Dimond Park in East Oakland that same day at about 4:30 p.m., according to police.<\/p>\n
A coordinated search of Dimond Park was carried out on March 31 by OPD along with the Alameda, Contra Costa and Marin county sheriff’s offices, along with 60 of Hillyard’s friends, family and volunteers.<\/p>\n
She has not yet been located.<\/p>\n
Hillyard is described as white, 5 feet 4 inches tall, 120 pounds, with blond hair and hazel eyes. Her clothing is said to be light blue jeans, a white shirt, and white tennis shoes with black stripes, according to the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
She is considered to be at-risk because of medical conditions, police said.<\/p>\n
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Oakland Police Department’s Missing Person Unit at (510) 238-3641.<\/p>\n
