(코리아타운뉴스) “Help Me Find My Daughter”

Elaine Park has been missing for seven months
Reward for finding Park is now at $250,000

The family of Elaine Park is asking for help from the Korean-American community to find their missing daughter who was last seen seven months ago.

In a press conference held on Aug. 22 at the L.A. Press Club, Park’s family announced the plan to reward anyone who could help find her with $250,000.
Park was last seen on Jan. 27. She reportedly went on a date with her boyfriend. After leaving her boyfriend’s house on the following day, Park has not been seen.

“I have been mourning in sadness as I don’t know the whereabouts of my daughter,” Park’s mother said. “I’d love to find her and give her a big hug before her 21st birthday on Sept. 24. Even a small bit of evidence can be a critical piece of information in finding my daughter. Please let us know if you have seen or know of my daughter since she has been reported missing.”

Park’s family has already hired private investigators to expand the search. Anyone who provides critical information about Park will receive $250,000 as a reward.

“We’re in an urgent need for a report from any potential witnesses,” said private investigator Jayden Brant. “We’ve raised the reward from $5,000 to $250,000.”

Park’s 2015 Honda Civic was found unlocked in Malibu on Feb. 2 by the police.

Park is 5-foot-6 in height and 125 pounds in weight. She has brown hair and a cow’s skull tattoo on her arm. Anyone with knowledge on Park’s whereabouts is encouraged to call 800-551-3080.
