Fredericton police say an anonymous donor has put up a $65,000 reward for anyone who provides information that leads to the discovery of a woman who went missing on the city's north side last December.

Erin Brooks, 38, was last seen at the Smoke Shop on St. Mary's First Nation on Dec. 27, 2021. Months later police announced her disappearance was deemed suspicious and that officers were investigating the possibility of foul play.

Her disappearance has prompted numerous appeals for answers fromthe Wolastoqey community and a powwow was held to support Brooks's family.

The reward now being offered for information about her whereabouts was announced by the Fredericton Police Force in a news release issued Friday morning.

Police said the donor of the funds wished to remain anonymous, and the release did not provide new information on theinvestigation into thedisappearance.
