Police search river for Shane Montgomery after new tip

PHILADELPHIA -- Additional police officers have been sent to the Manayunk section of Philadelphia amid the search for missing college student Shane Montgomery.

The Philadelphia Police Marine Unit was searching the water on Wednesday after, police say, a new and "credible" tip came in that put Shane near the Manayunk canal the night he vanished.

They were focusing on the Schuylkill River under the railroad bridge near Belmont Avenue.

Video from the Action Cam showed the marine unit combing the water there.

This, as the reward in the search for the 21-year-old West Chester University student reached $65,000.

The family of Shane Montgomery made that announcement Tuesday on the Help Find Shane Montgomery Facebook page.

Shane was last seen leaving Kildare's Irish Pub in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia early Thanksgiving morning after a night out with friends.

Kildare's management said Shane left the bar without a problem. A relative, who works at Kildare's, told Shane it was closing time and they left at 1:50 a.m.

Staffers reportedly saw Shane turn left out of the door and head south on Main Street.

A ping from his cellphone was picked up near the CVS Pharmacy on Main Street, located about an hour after he vanished.

He was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, a gray button-up shirt and jeans.

Shane is 5'11" tall, weighs 140 pounds with short brown hair and green eyes.

He has a large Celtic tattoo across his shoulder blades.

Anyone with information is urged to contact authorities at 215-686-3353/3354.
