Do you know where this woman is?


Reward for information on missing pregnant woman up to $100,000Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA - A reward for information leading to the discovery of the whereabouts of a missing Philadelphia woman has been increased to $100,000, authorities said Tuesday.
Latoyia Figueroa, 25, who is five months pregnant, was last seen July 18. She has a 7-year-old daughter, whom friends and family say she would never abandon.
There previously had been a $10,000 reward offered.
Local philanthropists, the staff of the restaurant where she worked and rap star Beanie Sigel were among those who contributed to the additional reward.
The reward is administered by the Citizens Crime Commission of Delaware Valley.

**********************
Missing for over a week, no leads have been found to locate Latoyia Figueroa, 24, a mother of one daughter, age 7, and five months pregnant with her second child.
Investigators have done extensive searches in both a location she was last seen, as well as a local park with no success.
On the day she was last seen, Latoyia and the father of her baby, Stephen Pouche, were going to a doctor’s appointment for their child. Neither had the money to pay for the appointment, so both left to go back to Pouche’s residence.
On their way, they stopped for takeout at a local seafood eatery and continued home. Latoyia stayed with Pouche until around 3:00 p.m. and that was the last time he saw her.
A search of a local park, Cobb’s Creek Park, was being conducted for clues to her whereabouts. Police have used cadets, search dogs, and helicopters in the search. Nothing has yet turned up.
Police are also searching a residence at 59th and Walton, the last known location of Latoyia, for clues to her disappearance.
Philadelphia Homicide department has taken over the investigation into Latoyia’s whereabouts. This does not mean that her case has turned into a homicide investigation; only that homicide has the resources to better find Latoyia.
Her family continues to search for Latoyia, hanging flyers and talking with residents.
Anthony Willaims, high school sweetheart and father to Latoyia’s first daughter, “feels” in his heart “she is still alive”. They had spoken very recently about reconciliation.
A vigil has been held for Latoyia with prayers for her safe return. Many from her community came to pray with her family but the father of her unborn baby, Stephen Pouche, was not in attendance.
A reward has been offered in the amount of $10,000 for information regarding Latoyia. If you have any information that could help in her investigation, please contact Citizen Crime Commission at 1-215-546-TIPS.
